Campin' in the 'Glades II!!!

We had so much fun last year we decided to do it all over again! This multi-staged event will be held in Big Cypress National Preserve on February 18th and 19th, but we aren't telling you the campground. Following the coordinates will take you to the correct campground. The campground can easily be driven to by any vehicle. There is a very nice dirt road the entire way. All stages will be picked up at the end of the weekend to avoid leaving litter.

We have several things planned for the event:

-Texas (Aggie) Hold 'Em Poker Mutli-cache (Begins Saturday @ 14:00)
-A Team Three Leg Multi-cache (Sunday morning)
-Travel Bug Trade during Saturday evening campfire

FOOD: Apple cobbler made by Chef Chris and what's even better is there will be a S'more Breakfast!

Last year we signed a

which we will bring to share, but we will also have the Log II, so get your dremel hands ready!

For the kid's there will be a Valentine Egg Hunt on Saturday after the Poker Run.

There will be a campfire at night if permitted at the campsite and we will provide marshmallows. Please bring your own food and drinks.

We plan on putting out a few caches outside of Big Cypress to go with the caches that are already in existance. There are some really neat ones out there and we encourage everyone to grab some and see the beautiful Everglades area.

For the adventurous the nearby Turner River offers a wonderful scenic kayak or canoe ride. Loop Road is also a must see as well as some of the trails off of Turner River Road.

There are alligators and plenty of wading birds to take pictures of this time of year.

We will be out there early in the a.m. on Saturday so come as early as you please. The Texas Hold 'Em Poker cache will begin at 2pm, so if you plan on participating arrive before then.

Camping is primitive. There ARE formal restrooms (port o potties last year) and no water available.
We'll continue updating as new information becomes available. :) Look forward to meeting new folks and see some friendly faces!
