The event will take place at Old Country Buffet in Springfield,
Illinois. The cost for breakfast is $7.59 + tax per adult, $7.29
for seniors and child prices (for 12 and under are .50 cents per
year and under 2 are free). Breakfast hours are 8:00 a.m. to 11:00
a.m. The actual announcements and drawings will be between 9:00 and
9:45 a.m.
There will be door prizes, good fellowship and new area
caches; A list of area caches available at the event and I am
sure some of the area cachers will be willing to provide
assistance. All CIGA events are a lot of fun and we really hope to
see a lot of new cachers attend. Everyone is welcome and there is
no charge other than your breakfast fee!
There will be two hours of free climbing at The Silo,
Inc., in Rochester, courtesy of Team Cooper, from 10:30 a.m. to
12:30 p.m., for those that sign up at the breakfast. For the young
at heart, or some of the adventurous among us, this will be a good
opportunity to get in some serious exercise before heading out for
a day of flatlands caching. (N 39 44.914 W089 32.067, off of
Illinois 29 in Rochester, IL)
While caching in area you will find numerous references to an
early pre-GPS central Illinois Geocacher. We hope that you enjoy
our area as much as he did and have the time to visit some of the
area sites that are based on him or other historical events.
Many of our local caches have a historical context. If you have
already found all of the area caches, you may want to stop and
visit some of the local attractions.
