Come enjoy a picnic dinner and fellowship
with other geocachers from the Arkansas River Valley area.
Some of the following is true, and some is not.
Your challenge is to figure out which is which.
"The World's Longest Running Annual Geocaching Event!"
What?
Nothing fancy! Just a chance to meet other geocachers from the Arkansas River Valley area (and elsewhere!) and discuss geocaching while enjoying a meal. And then, practice your moves and join the competition!
Where?
The event is in the backyard of the igloo owned by rklmbl, located at 202 S. Grandview, Clarksville, on the corner of Grandview and Mann. (See the coordinates above). Best parking is on the grass on the east side of the yard facing the fence.
Although some chairs will be available, it is recommended that you bring your own lawn or camp chair, in case it is needed.
When?
Saturday, August 16, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM or so.
Your host:
Old River Runner
Regarding the food, this will be a pot-luck style weenie picnic. Contribution of any food items, as listed below, is welcomed. However, bringing food or any of the items listed below is not a requirement for attending. It is all voluntary. But each attendee will be responsible for providing his or her own drink. I will probably grill the weenies at home and bring them to the event burnt and ready to eat. (I hope you like your weenies burnt!)
For this to be a success and have no one go hungry, we all need to pitch in and bring something. Here is a list of some things that we might or will need. Feel free to suggest other items. Also, please note in your "Will Attend" log what you are volunteering to bring. But be sure to check the list to see what others are bringing, so there isn't duplication on some things. (I will try to keep the list updated as folks post their Will Attend logs.). Again, this is all voluntary!
