We should have a location to announce soon. We did see this near one location. Deermark

Thanks for the useful info. I was going to check the DNR website tonight now I don't have to. Deermark

Your 2009 Indiana Fall Picnic Committee is hard at work searching for a site for next year's event. Muscatatuck Park will be a very tough act to top but we are working overtime to make it happen. Geosurvivor is being revamp, new activities planned and of course a killer T-Shirt and Pathtag is in the works. Your 2009 committee includes: Team Itchy & Scratchy Eye Of The Pirates Batman & Catwoman Pam of Prairie Partners Bad Majek Daggy Deermark We spent yesterday scouting out possibles locations and we have found a very good prospect. We will also be traveling this coming weekend to check another park. More to follow on the results.

GROUP SHOT Jaypit - 2QwerkE - FixItFindItDave At The Mexican Joint After The Mix Another successful TrailMix is in the books. 55 cachers showed up for the event and 50 hit the trails with us. As soon as we came off the trails the questions started, "When is the next TrailMix?" I am working on it guys and a page will be up soon. Deermark

This is the group photo from the 2008 Indiana Fall Picnic. We had a blast. Deermark

What a wonderful array of places we cachers have been. Here is my addition to the gallery. We were in the Medicine Bow NF outside of Laramie Wyoming. GC14FJD was the cache we were heading to. It is now my favorite cache hunt. Many thanks to WY82331 for the excellent hide. Deermark

If anyone is interested we still have 2008 Picnic Shirts left over. We have the following sizes: White 1 - 4XL 1 - 3XL 4 - 2XL 1 - XL $ 13.00. Let me know. Deermark

Thanks Jeni. We all work so hard to make this an event to remember. Now the problem is how to top it. Don't worry though. We are already working on it. Deermark

Another Fall Picnic has come and gone. I can honestly say that this was by far the best ever. Every aspect of the weekend was perfect. Sure there can still be some tweaking here and there but there always is at an event this size. Thanks to all of the planning team for their dedication to making this the best ever. A special thanks to all of the attendees. You guys are what makes all the work worth it. I remember one day this winter when we met at one of the shelters to update progress. It was so cold we lasted about 30 minutes and had to go into town to find a restaurant to warm up. I never want to eat at Pizza Hut in North Vernon again. We had a ball trying out the Geosurvivor games. We might have prevented some injuries by this preview. The planning committee has already started work on the 2009 Picnic and I am excited all over again. I can see it being better than 2008 although that will be tough to do. Deermark

The new caches are up and running. The team has worked hard all summer and are ready to make this the best picnic ever. See all of you this weekend. Deermark

Your Picnic Team In Action

The picnic committe had the final meeting on Sunday and we are ready to go. It is unbelievable the amount of work that it takes to put on this Event. We also hid a mess of new caches for your caching enjoyment. I am planning on placing some more this weekend. Look for all these new caches to pop up sometime on Labor Day or that Tuesday. I would run a query for North Vernon on Wednesday Sept 3 just to make sure you get all the new ones. Bring on the PICNIC. Repeat after me....NO RAIN....NO RAIN....... Deermark

The tent Lynn bought is bigger than a pop up. Jeez it's bigger than our first house. Deermark

This is the group photo from the 2005 Fall Picnic. If you are not in this photo or the 2006 or 2007 photo now is your chance to be one of the Picnicers. The Indiana 2008 Fall Picnic GC19ZEH is Saturday Sept. 6th at Muscatatuck Park in North Vernon. The Friday Night Meet & Greet GC1A1XW is Friday Sept 5th. The Meet & Greet will include a chili dump, bonfire and night cache. I am told the Night Cache alone is worth coming for. The Picnic will include a pitch in lunch. A youth challenge modeled after the GeoSurvivor and of course GEOSURVIVOR. BadMajec and myself are the hosts of GEOSURVIVOR this year and I promise it won't be boring. There will also be a bonfire Saturday night. At 7:30 on Saturday night the Cobblers and Coins Event GC1ERBT will begin. Trade your coins, pathtags signature items etc. This promises to be a fun event. There is camping on Friday and Saturday nights. The park has graciously reserved all the camping spots for the Fall Picnic Attendees. Info is on the cache page. Soon there will be a mess of new caches surrounding North Vernon. Bonfires, pitchins, coin swaps and Geocaching stories will be the order of the weekend. What could be better than this? Dr Who has also donated another beautiful etching to be auctioned. He has outdone himself this year. The picnic committee has been working hard for a year now to bring you a top notch event. Come join us, bring some friends and if you have a good time tell us so.

Hey Team Tigger. It was great talking with you two. In the past we always seemed to say hi and go our own way. We should have talked before. You guys are pretty cool. See you. Deermark

Chris you are the man. Is your right arm recovering yet from all the pouring? Deermark

Bring on the Picnic. The Picnic Committe will be hiding a bunch of new caches real soon. Now if I can just remember where I put that darn tent. Deermark

JPlus14 & Bears. Don't anyone mention bears when he is ready for bed. His nightmares may just keep us all awake. But you didn't hear that from me. Deermark
