Kick off the weekend with a picnic and bonfire Friday Sept. 29th!
We will start about 5pm with the cookout. (But, you can arrive before that.) Bring your drinks and a dish to pass. The hive has lots of hot dogs, but if you want, you can bring some other meat. The Beehive will provide all the paper goods and silverware, etc.
The campfire afterwards usually lasts well into the night. It's a great opportunity to meet and talk with fellow cachers, tell tales and possibly enjoy an adult beverage or two.
Dogs are welcome, but please bring them on a leash as it is hard to predict how your dog may react to other dogs or the kids that WILL be running around.
The camping area will be open all weekend (as long as the ground is dry enough for people to drive in and park) for anyone who would like to stay. Yes, that means you can come in and setup anytime on Friday. It can accommodate tents, trailers and motorhomes. It is primitive, no water or electric.
NOTE: I plan to rent a porta-potty for the weekend. This will be my donation to the event. Last year, other people also gave money towards to me to defer the cost and that was greatly appreciated, too.
This is all courtesy of the wonderful Swanson family who allow us to use and enjoy their beautiful property for our geocaching fun, so if you see them at the campfire, be sure to say thanks, and as always, respect the grounds.
There are many caches on or very near the camping area, including one at the nearby golf course for the kids. Also, please feel free to find one of the LivCo200 geocaches (Livingston County Bicentennial Geocaches) placed peviously by members of the Bee Hive! I WILL have a new night cache (collaborating with Fireside)!
Please log your will attend with what you plan to bring so we can get a rough count on how many and what will be brought. Hope to see everyone there!
Big thanks to our Beehive friends for helping us with this event (because we couldn't do it without their help)!
