mdgps: Time to put this event listing to rest. Most who attended have already logged the "Attended" logs. Two TBs still remain in the cache page inventory. If you picked one or both of them up please do log them properly and move them along soon.

Many thanks to those who attended and helped us give back to the park service. We completed everything that the NPS had sceduled for our group. Extra special thanks go to the National Park Service for making us feel so welcome AND for allowing us to place ten permanent caches within the boundaries of the park and grandfathering in an older cache. Thank you!
