Today's event at 1100 am is to celebrate all the geocachers who have introduced others into this craziness we call geocaching. Craziness because who really thought finding a ammo can in the middle of nowhere would be so exciting? Oh but it is....it really, really is.........there is nothing better than the *clunk* as you open that camo container after crawling, sliding, falling.... thru mud, prickers, water & many other things you probably don't want to know that you have on your clothes.
So today we celebrate all that we love about geocaching at one of my favorite parks, Chestnut Ridge Park.
Event details........
Instead of just showing up so you can mark the event *attended* to get your souvenier, I want to make it fun & at the same time help keep a favorite caching area of mine clean.
My plan? Meet in the Casino.........I will have the log book for the event there. Plenty of parking.
Everyone who comes to the event to fill up a grocery bag with trash collected from inside the park. An improptu CITO event. (this is NOT a CITO event so you will not get CITO event credit for this) You can bring your own bag or I will have some for those who need them.
My second thought was for those who attend to bring something to trade......a geocache container, pens, logs........something that is geocache related. Everyone who brings an item will get a ticket. At 1145 I will draw ticket numbers & then you can choose one item from the items others brought.
And of course there will be geocaching......so many multis, puzzles, regular geocaches to be done..........you might as well make a day of it, right?
