We ask that you RSVP/Log your attendance by, Monday, July 11th - number in your party and your home location. However anyone is welcome to 'crash' our event. Many new attendees start to pick up some finds before the event and after; it's even better if you go as a group! There are several great caches and cache sites nearby! We always have our core followers and a constant inflow of new faces and names from as far as 150 miles around!

STRANGE is an informal gathering to talk about geocaching and just socialize. It's a great way to get hints about caches that stump you, meet the faces behind your favorite caches (or the diabolical ones) and pointers for hiding your own caches. STRANGE is where you can share your exploits, bring collections of coins, bugs - swag, and the like, give away items - anything that you think are fun, interesting or want to share. We will have a display, trade and trackable swap/take table. Donations to the door prizes are welcome. There are also some surprise prizes.

If you have a suggestion for an event activity that we can run that night please email the EO immediately!

At this STRANGE cache we will have door prize drawings, a 50/50, STRANGE T-shirts, club shirts, event PTs and a FTF prize. Donations of future door prizes are always welcome. Hope to see you there!
