Geocache Description:

How about starting the new year with a little geocaching fun, games, and food?


Event details: Saturday, January 9, 2015, 2:00-4:00pm at Hy-Vee in Clinton, IA.

Dinner is on your own. Hy-Vee has many cuisine options (Chinese, pizza, salad bar, Market Cafe, Starbucks) depending on your preference.

To log a  for this event, all you have to do is come join us for some food, friendship, and fun!

But if you're interested in something a little more... unique...

There will be a geocaching-themed white elephant gift exchange! Bring a wrapped gift, geocaching related, to trade with other gift-bearers! Since it's a white elephant exchange, these gifts don't actually have to be NICE! Anyone who brings a gift (cacher or non-cacher) can be included in the exchange, but bringing a gift is not required in order to log attendance at the event.

BUT, if you are STILL interested in something even MORE... unique...

It's GEO-BATTLESHIP!!! In the game of Battleship, one opponent calls out letter and number combinations in order to find the other opponent’s hidden ships. In the geocaching version, the host will be calling out letter and number combinations to find your hidden “ships” in the form of geocaches you found anywhere, anytime during 2015!

This year's grid will use the letters B-D-F-H-K-N-Q-T-W-Y and the numbers 0-9. You will be allowed one "wild card" Z-cache that will take the place of one spot on your grid (you must choose the "wild card" placement BEFORE we begin the game!)

Complete directions for the Geo-Battleship game are included with the game board. If you have any questions about what will or will not work (or any of the tie-breaker options,) please contact me through my geocaching.com profile.

Please include the number of people attending in your “will attend” log. Look forward to seeing you in 2016!
