This is the 19th anniversary of my first traditional geocache find, which is described in the log. The event was originally scheduled for last year until Groundspeak cancelled all events. It was designed to comply with Covid-19 guidelines at that time, which have now been relaxed. However in deference to those who still feel insecure, I have decided to retain many Covid-inspired guidelines - hence it may be different from other events. State guidelines can be found at https://www.covidguidance.nh.gov/
The event site was chosen with limited parking but to extend over 2 hours, so people could attend sequentially and not everybody would be on-site at once. I have decided to retain this feature. There will be no raffle or group photo so there is no particular time to be there, and parking is limited so hopefully people will chat a few minutes and leave. I have eliminated the signup grid since group sizes are no longer limited, but feel free to indicate when you might arrive for the use of those who wish to see (or avoid) you.
Other virus safety guidelines:
* Masks are optional - but if you see someone wearing one, take that as a sign they may be worried about Covid and try to stay 6 feet away.
* If concerned about touching, bring your own pen to sign the log or just leave a card with your name on it.
* There will be no group photo but I will try to build a collage of selfies.
* No food will be served.
* Due to the guideline about avoiding shared objects, "discovering" travel bugs is discouraged. You may leave a travel bug if you wish, which I will periodically grab myself if nobody else takes it first.
I have identified two large parking lots in the area that you can use for staging geocache tours in lieu of meeting at the event site - come by briefly once you are organized. Note that Gould Pond Road cannot be driven from Forest HQ to the event site.
