Happy New Year 20/20 (Perfect vision!) Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

Alaskan Bev: "Explain why you are archiving this event," the opening page directs. Because it is time, and it saves a moment of our reviewer's time if the event host does it him/herself. You will still be able to log attendance or add photos. The Spookies accepted the challenge to host this event next year, so it'll be up to them to decide whether to place the ammo can as a hide, save it for the event, reclaim the event for 2022, challenge someone else to take it over, or something completely different. Whatever comes up, we'll all enjoy it, I'm sure. Thanks to wallaska for posting photos (and for generously sharing donuts!). Happy New Year to all geocachers everywhere!

Geocache Description:

01 January 2020, 10:00 - 10:45

Geocache Description:

When: 10;00 a.m. sharp! Why "sharp"? 'Cuz cavyguy says that and if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for us!

Where: At least the 29 of you who logged finds at this event 01/01/2019 will remember.

Why: To start the New Year right with a fun geo-event! Anyone inclined may bring snacks to share.

Who: All local and passing-by geocachers. If you bring a dog, please bring a leash to keep him/her/us/everyone safe.

What: Flash mob event to welcome in a great new year of geo-adventures!

9:45 to 9:59 a.m.: Geocachers, who are universally known for their patience, will wait patiently and nonchalantly in their georigs, giving no nefarious suggestion of impending activity.

10:00 a.m. precisely: Look for the open ammo can at the posted coords, write your geonick on the provided specially cut paper, and place it in the ammo can for the prize drawing.

10:15: Group photo. I will need a capable volunteer for this; my new phone is so different from its predecessors that I have not yet mastered transferring photos camera-to-computer. All cachers are encouraged to add photos to their logs. Thank you!

10:20: Prize drawing, followed by clean-up, because geocachers (like my Boy Scouts) always cheerfully leave an event location cleaner than they found it! The Grand Challenge will be announced!

We seem to be known for standing around talking for quite some time.

10:30: "Official ending," at which time cachers may depart singly or in groups for further geo-adventures. There are several caches within convenient walking distance. The walk around the (frozen?) lake is always fun and beautiful, and yields a few more smileys!

10:45: Formal closing. This means that we are officially done - until 2021!
