We're celebrating! In a recent survey of 35 of the largest
cities in the United States, Pittsburgh finished second to Boston
for the lowest incidence of micros as a percentage of total caches.
We commend and congratulate Boston for this distinction but we
still resent that their Patriots beat our Steelers in the AFC
Championship game. I believe this to be a fairly good indicator of
the overall quality of the caches hidden by the community. Let's
take our red ribbon and run with it!
There's going to be a bonfire and
some film canisters will be burnt. If this offends you, you
need not attend. I am not advocating the wanton destruction of
any crummy micros unless their proper owners want to sacrifice
them on the fire. The event will begin at 2:00 PM and the burn
will be at dusk (approximately 7:30 PM).
This event will be held on the property of my parents in rural
Greensburg. It will be essentially the same as previous
events
held at this location. The kids will enjoy the "rides" that we have
set up in the woods. Pets with well-behaved owners are also welcome
to attend. Bring an entrée (burgers, dogs, etc.) for yourself and a
covered dish (chips, cookies, potato salad, etc.) to share with
fellow geocachers. I'll supply a gas or charcoal grill for cooking.
I'll also supply tables, chairs, plates, cups, napkins,
plasticware, and drinks. Beer will be available but I expect any
drinking to be done in moderation. This is a family affair. Anyone
who overindulges will be sacrificed on the micro pyre. I think
we'll probably spend most of our time socializing and putting names
and faces to the geocache logs but there will also be a couple of
temporary caches for you to try while you are here. This party will
have to break up when the fire dies down since we don't have any
lights in our picnic area. If anyone has a picnic shelter they can
lend for the cause, please let me know.
It's difficult to offer driving directions except to say that we
are on Route 819 between South Greensburg and Armbrust.
Fortunately, this should not be too much of an issue for this
group. My advice is to find your way to New Stanton or Youngwood
and follow your GPS from there. If you need better directions,
please email.
Please RSVP by posting a log to this page.
Please note that this event page is "not a forum for the airing
of personal grievences". I will have to report you to the person
who explained this to me if you insist on doing this.
We'll see you there!
