1st Annual Rawlins BrownBag Event Event Cache

Wow!!! We had such a good time at the event and I want to thank each and every person who took the time to attend. The weather was typically Wyoming-like (if can be bad, it will) but we showed what kind of people call Wyoming home and we hung in there and made the best of it. Then, about the time I had decided it was going to be that way all day long, the sun came out, the wind died down dramatically and it ended up being a rather pleasant day. Go figure! We knew we wanted to have this event here in Rawlins but I don't think either my wife or myself thought it would be the success it was the first year out and we had no idea how much fun it would be. We will definitely be having another next year so plan on attending then and by all means bring a friend or two, the more the merrier!

Tonight, I am posting pictures of a few of the people that attended but I want to apologize to those that I forgot to get pics of. I didn't realize how much of my time would be taken up getting people registered, explaining my 7-leg multi, answering questions about the geocoins and all the other stuff my wife didn't do (any we all know how busy she was, mostly in the PR department, a tough job but somebody has to do it). I definitely was a little negligent on my duties of taking pictures and visiting with more people. Next time, I'll try to delegate some duties to my daughter who did not attend this year.

If we ever had any doubts about the type of community we aligned ourselves with when we started geocaching, yesterday proved to us that WE are a great group of people, friendly, helpful, humorous, kind, understanding and more than willing to share our passion with others. It amazes me that people from several generations and lifestyles can get together so well and get to become friends. My wife and I definitely feel we made some friends that we will interact with in the months and years to come. We both hope that you had as much fun as we did. From the logs that I have seen, you did and that makes any effort we made worth it. Please check out the gallery and please, if you have photos you would like to share, please do so. Oh, by the way, if you attended this event and did not get the event geonickel and would like one, e-mail me and I will mail you one. I tried to be sure everybody got one but a few could have slipped through the cracks. I will leave this cache up for a couple months so we can enjoy the logs and photos. In conclusion I'd like to say thanks and stay in touch!
