On Rte. 66 (where else?) Just north west of the 210 as Route 66 passes under.

We have the patio area reserved for our group, with enough room for everyone.

We'll start the event at 5pm, begin awarding prizes at 6pm, and wrap things up to go by 7:30pm.

Here's our growing list of prizes guaranteed to be awarded at the Rally Celebration:

  1. 3 Ammo cans filled with swag to be awarded to top finishing teams
  2. 2 - $15 Gift Certificates courtesy of Landsharkz (2nd year sponsoring!)
  3. $25 Gift Certificate from Red Hat Promotions, supplier of our event T-shirts from Craigsoutside
  4. $25 Cache Advance "Event Kit", Unactivated trackable from Pacholik & Lovesreward
  5. Unactivated Geocoin and Path tags from Podcacher
  6. Four Gift Certificates from Round Table Pizza (Claremont)
  7. $ Gift Certificates from Mr. D's Diner
  8. Unactivated Route 66 Geocoin & trackables from Webfoot
  9. Premium membership ($30 value) from TeamDogBreath & Maddmaxxawr
  10. An unactivated Mountain Lovers geocoin from West End Geocachers and Pam of Mountain Lovers
  11. Several reviewer travel tags, courtesy of local reviewer Seismic Quark.
  12. A variety of other great stuff like: outdoor folding chair, ready to hide containers, TOTTS, headlamp, flashlights, waterproof cell phone holder, Route 66 mug, Route 66 puzzle SWAG and more! (courtesy of Maddmaxxawr, TeamDogBreath, Larry the pool guy, 11bnbjna11, and others)

Once again, we'll be holding a 50/50 raffle to be split with one lucky winner and the WEGs.

The final results are in! There were 338 points available for finding all of the 66 photo ops listed. There were 11 bonus points available for photos of the modern iron works. There were another 122 points available for tasks, photos, and cache finds in the special bonus section. If a team had their DeLorean time machine running the route, they might have been able to amass a total of 471 points!

*We had one team scratch at the start, opting not to score in the rallyIE. One team did not return with a score sheet due to exhausted mini-copilots, but did post scoreable photos. One team disappeared into a black hole while looking for car keys. One team just went out to find some caches solo. Aaaaannnd, one team posted up two scoreable photos, found three non-traditional caches and then proceeded to get snookered to celebrate their success. A five point late penalty was assessed to this team for failing to turn in their scoresheet before 5:30pm.
