We have reserved Pavilion #1 at Pelahatchie Shore Park for the
day. Lunch will be pot luck. Please post on your "Will Attend" log
what you plan to bring. Bring your family, someone else's family,
your favorite dish and beverage, and be ready to have a good time
swapping caching stories, TB's, geocoins, pathtags, and good cheer!
There are a bunch of good caches in the immediate area, so the
pavilion will serve as a great central headquarters for those
wanting to go out on small cache runs and return to the event for
re-fueling and fellowship. If anyone out there has a boat with a
motor and is able, there are several hydro or island caches nearby
that can only be reached by boat (or swimming if you are
BassAngler). The pavilion is equipped with a fireplace, and we plan
to keep a yule log burning, so bring some marshmallows for roasting
or be ready to make s’mores for the kiddies (small and
big).
********** PLEASE NOTE **********
Activities include lunch, geocaching, swapping TB’s and
geocoins, and lots of fellowship. Door prizes will be awarded. MSGA
shirts, caps, and patches will be available for purchase. Several
geocoin and pathtag collections will be on display for your perusal
and icon harvesting. This is a great opportunity for major
milestone awards to be presented, so if you have reached a
milestone or are very close, or plan to award one to someone else,
please let us know.
We would like to have a couple of fun cache runs, one during the
day, and one at night. The day run should feature some of the
excellent caches in the nearby woods that have not received much
attention but can require some effort to get to. The night run
should feature caches a little more accessible, and with better
parking. Both are in the air at this time. If you have any
ideas/wants for either, or would like to set up and sponsor a run,
please let us know.
Everyone is welcome to attend, and we look forward to a big
crowd and a great event. If you are a beginning geocacher, this is
a great way to make new friends and hone your skills by caching
with other experienced geocachers. If you are a salty veteran, you
know that this is a great way to renew friendships, relax and swap
TB's, caching stories and adventures. Whether you spend the day
teaming up with others for short geocaching runs or just sit around
talking till the sun goes down, this is a chance to add some more
icons to your personal profile, make new friends, and have a great
day geocaching.
