Team Shydog: I would like to thank everyone for coming out and enjoying the spring picnic. We had a great time putting it on this year. The weather was awsome, the amount of food was incrediable and the donations for the give aways was fantastic.
The whole staff at the Salomonie River Forest deserve a huge round of applause for their help and support. I want to say a special thank you to our DNR contact person Jason Wade. His understanding of the sport made it all that much easier to put this show on.
Some stats for the day are....
171 persons attended
4 states represented
2 countries(Thanks for being Canadian Wolf)
300+ hotdogs eaten
45+ geocoins given away
1 very acurate Magellan (Way to go Che K)
1 very lucky gps winner (You are not allowed to buy tickets at the fall picnic BadMagic)
I have had the honor of hosting or co-hosting the last two spring picnics. Thanks to Mary and Gary Adventurers and Happy Hikers I get to come and enjoy the picnic next year and not be stressed out during the month of April. They have stepped up to host the 2007 Spring Picnic. Look for details to follow sometime later(It is only June you know)
Please give them the support that you have given me the last two years. These events are not getting any smaller and every little bit helps.
There are still some TB's and geocoins listed as being in the event. The geocoins do not bother me, the TB's do. There were no TB's left for me to take home so that means they all went home with someone. Please check your backpacks again and ask the people you went with if they picked one up with out logging it. I know I hate to have a TB come up missing. I will be marking the bugs as missing in the near future.
Thanks again and see you all at an event or on the trails.
Chris-Team Shydog
ps. The Fall picnic is posted and don't forget about the Midwest Geobash in July.
