This year’s event will be two events in one. All teams will
meet at the above coordinates between 10:00 and 10:45 AM each team will be given
a starters kit. The kit will contain some items and a list of coordinates. A
few ground rules will be announced. Then all of the teams will start out at the
same time approx. 11:00 AM. Each team will find as many caches as time allows.
ALL teams must report back to the above coordinates by 3:30 PM.
The first event will be the main event and will send your
team all over Portales. The second event will be held following the first and
will be “Just For Kids”. This event will be held at the starting and ending
place of the meeting point. “Just For Kids’ will consist of several caches
within walking distance. This area is in a fenced in area, large but fenced.
Each cache will have items just for the kids. Parents can go along with the
kids and help with the GPS. The kids can exchange items in the true GeoCaching
spirit.
Drinks will be provided, teams are encouraged to bring
their lunch, or pick one up. There are several fast food restaurants nearby.
Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place. There will also be some special prizes. Teams are encouraged to stay as
long as they like to visit with the other GeoCachers.
If you plan on making it please post a note here. I need
to know the number of team members, and the number of kids and their ages (so we
can make the cache items fun for all ages attending). Please put this cache on
your watch list it will be updated as plans develop. Plan on a day of caching
and fun, water will be provided for teams to take with them on their caching.
Remember to bring extra batteries and sunscreen.
There a few teams and people I need to thank, that
have given prizes for the event. First Pat at the Chamber of Commerce, Sport Lab
of Portales, GeoKitty of Las Cruces, Espy Seay of Levelland, Landguard of
Amherst, and ZiaCache (Jim) of Hobbs.
