Geocache Description:

The cache is an ammo can, located in a spot overlooking (well, sort of), the Conejo Valley Days carnival site, in an area generally accessible by dirt road, however, some off-trail walking is required. Various conditions (weather, obstacles on the site, my general rookie status, etc.) lead me to question the precision of the coordinates. Please send me a correction if they turn out to be off by too much.


Conejo Valley Days, one of the nation's largest all-volunteer community celebrations, is celebrating it's 50 anniversary in 2006. Each year, there are about 8 weeks worth of celebration and activities which work to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for dozens of local non-profit organizations throughout the Conejo Valley. These activities include the Kick-off picnic and car show by Conejo Valley Rotary Club, Grand Marshal Race by various non-profits, the Chili Cook-off by Thousand Oaks Rotary Club, Special Kids Day by Zonta Club of Conejo Valley, the CVD Parade by the Thousand Oaks Kiwanis Club, and of course, the 5 day carnival at the Conejo Creek South site. Each year, CVD selects a theme (2006's is the title of this cache) and designs a badge to sell throughout the community. Included in the cache is a bunch of badges from 2005 CVD, including a few from the winning Grand Marshall Candidate, Kevin "the Colonel" Kern.

Please take only one badge per person. You can trade for something else if you'd like, but it isn't required. For the FTF, I've included a very hard-to-come-by metal star (shown below) given to the CVD committee members who put on this great series of events each year. Definitely a collector's item!

Hope you find this cache, and I hope you'll all come out and take part in this grand community event!
