Five Star Frog Splash
The event will start at 10:00 a.m. with a meet and greet breakfast. Gibson5string plans to deep fry donuts while we all say hello. After that, cachers will have the option to hit the local caches for a few hours, continue talking, go benchmark hunting in the area, or go on a geo run of some caches we will be hiding. At 6:00 p.m. will be serving up deep fried turkey, grilled burgers, brats, and hotdogs. The meat and beverages will be provided. We are asking that people bring side dishes and / or desserts. For your amusement during dinner, we will be having live bluegrass music. We will have more details here in the next few weeks, so keep checking the page to see what other things we have cooked up.

  • A volleyball and basketball court along with many softball and baseball fields
  • A swimming pool (if parents want to accompany their child)
