Geocache Description:

Trackables & Geocoins & Proxies OH MY!!!

This is a multi-purpose event. Have questions about trackables? COME. Want to learn how to make quality proxies? COME. Want to drop off trackables to go to a MEGA in Washington next week? COME. Want to add to your coin collection? COME. Only want a smiley? COME.

UPDATE: VENUE/TIME CHANGE: This event will be held in the LONE TREE LIBRARY Meeting Room from 5:00pm-6:30pm (additional help available after this time).

As I said, this event has several purposes. Here we go:
1. Questions about trackables? I will be happy to answer any questions that I can about trackables at this event. Please send your questions to me via email/messenger/text/etc... I will print all questions and answers for all attendees to have (PDF will be available if we run out and you want to print one yourself after the event). Maybe there are questions you didn't think of? This is a great way to learn. Send them all, even if you think it is a dumb question, maybe someone else is wondering too. Answers will be marked as: Fact, Guideline/Suggested, or Personal Opinion. Questions may have multiple answers.

2. Want to learn how to make quality proxies? There are many ways to make them, and I couldn't possibly cover them all. The Related Webpage takes you to a site I made with step-by-step instructions on several fast and cheap, but quality methods. I have learned from personal experience, the cheaper a proxy looks - the faster it goes missing, so quality is important. You can use poker chips, washers, wooden nickels, etc... to give it a coin feel. Because the website explains everything step-by-step, I will mostly be helping people who want to learn how to photograph, and size their trackable print to match whatever proxy style they choose. (Depending on need, this may have to continue after official time. We're happy to help! We can even send prints to your nearest photo studio for pick-up.)

3. Want to drop off trackables to go to a MEGA in Washington next week? We will gladly take them! Last year we took about twenty trackables and returned with at least thirty. Then we had fun dropping them in caches around the area for others to enjoy and move along. If you plan ahead, you could even start your own proxies at this event.
4. Want to add to your coin collection? Commercialism is not allowed on cache pages, but there will be opportunity to add to your collection. Over 200 opportunities... New venue does not allow sales, so this would need to be done before/after event or in the parking lot.
5. Only want a smiley? That's okay too. No interest in trackables or proxies? Come mingle with your fellow cachers and have fun.

I may even convince sissadies to make some yummy treats for everyone for this event. We will have a raffle for the totally awesome 2015 GOLD GCCO Garden of the Gods Geocoin! Definitely make a proxy of this instead of letting it loose to go missing. Since this event will likely have people coming and going, the drawing will be done after all of the Attended logs are finished, and a name will be drawn and winner notified.
