GC7NQ6N 2018 Spring Fling - Picnic & Geo-Poker Run (Event Cache) in Ohio, United States created by NWOGEO

This cache has been archived.

NWOGEO: one of the lightest spring fling turnouts in recent years... nevertheless, the weather was an improvement over those past drizzle affairs, adding to an enjoyable outing... many thanks to Barry and Eric for the new cache placements and to all who helped make this annual event once again herald a good weather caching season!!!

Our Geo-Poker Run Thing will have at least 7 NEW permanent logable caches!

♣ All caches in the poker run will be within a 20 mile radius of the shelter house.

♣ There will be a drawing held at 9:40 for an opportunity to become the FTF (First To Find) for several of the new caches.

♣ Winners will receive the coordinates for the FTF chance they won, at 9:45 or before. This will provide them with at least a 15 minute head start to hunt their FTF cache.

♣ Winners need not return to the start after they find their FTF cache... the remaining poker run players will then get the coordinates for the full list of new geocaches.

♣ The full list of new geocaches will contain ONLY the new cache listings, and will be available as both a printed hand-out and as a GPX file.

♣ To use the optional GPX file:

♥ Geocachers should load a Pocket Query of their unfound caches for the area, prior to arriving at the event. (Requires a Premium Membership to geocaching.com.)

♥ A GSAK load of new geocaches in GPX file format will be added to the existing geocaches in your GPS.

♥ Please bring your own USB data cable to help insure that we can connect to your GPS unit to load the GPX files from the computers we will have at the event.

♣ More info may be detailed here later.
