The Nashville airport is the closes to fly into. The resignation and information web site it not quite ready yet, but will tell you this GW7 is the only event in Bell Buckle all other events will be north west toward and in Nashville.
When the web site comes up it will be GeoWoodstock.com and should have all the information needed and a link to a forum so you may ask more question if they are not covered.
Please be patient, we are working very hard and careful to try and raise the bar one more time
Joe
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF YA’LL

Agree with geoaware's actions, sometimes it is needed, permission trumps just about everything

For all the above reasons and because you are in Tennessee you will get to find most of my caches 90% are members only, not that they are that special

I don't get into collecting stuff, so I don't plan to make any sig items for Geowoodstock, or any other special events. But I do have a special greeting that I reserve for my closest geo-pals, and those I would like to get to know a little bit better.
am blushing now, yes have had that special greeting, it will stay with you for sooooooooo long

I tell you we are all going to have our plans set before the commitee ever has their first meeting!
Great everyone is excited and thinking a head. I guess I better get moving.
GeoWoodstock is a registered trademark, anyone wishing to use the name or the new improved logos must contact us at Geowoodstock@gmail.com for permission, We are pretty easy to get along with and we like this kind of stuff.
We already have had several committee meetings, over the last few months

Mega events are almost mystical in some ways, the requirements for a mega event rest solely with TPTB, you will need to ask them what they are at this point in time for getting one listed as mega, requirements have changed since the first one. Only the TPTB have the power to make an event mega icon, volunteer reviewers do not have that switch or power.
However da GeoWoodstock committees is busy working on the first Giga event, that is how far in advance you must plan any event of these sizes.
Go figure hee hee

OMG

Just curious on what the general consensus is on somebody placing a micro cache on a historic monument with velcro? This was just done here in Oregon and I personally feel that its not entirely a good thing. I would figure that it would upset the park service as well as several groups that take care of this monument? What do you all think
Sticking stuff on a monument like that is trashy, cheap, cheesy and insulting. Even if done with 'permission'.
Some things are just wrong on the face of it such that respectful caring responsible people just won't do it.
Being a member of the geocaching community does not excuse someone from observing basic decency.
I've seen this type stuff more than once and am totally repulsed every time.
YOU ARE Soooooooooooooo WRONG
Velcro on Monuments?
It works for me Mission Impossible has been in place since 2003 , and yes it does release after about six months and leaves no adhesive trace and have permission for placement and hide method
Go for it

Used an oversized 50 ammo box coated with an outside gas tank sealer, then with a pelican container inside just to make sure it the contents remained water tight, has worked well in this cache Geo MoJo #7 // da beast within can't giveaway anymore

Because having tension over a game is complete immature silliness.
But isn't complete immature silliness sometimes fun?
I'm done here! I have enjoyed the discourse and even changed my opinion about someone! Thanks to all for playing! Not sure what the outcome of this particular situation will be, but it is all good!
""""But isn't complete immature silliness sometimes fun?""""
yep would have to agree OzGuff

On my C.I.T.O.tote to the left in my avatar, it has my caching name with email address

right is right and wrong is wrong, if it is not supposed to be there then it should be removed preferably by the cache owner not by who owns or controls the area. Would rather find out from another cacher than the owners, and yes that cacher will not be very popular person, but again right is right and wrong is wrong
Have to archive an old one of mine the other day from 2002 that I placed without permission after a cacher contacted the owner of the area. It happens
Just because there are other caches placed there means squat about was permission granted
Just as your mom once said if they jump off a bridge are you going to ?

why?
puzzle cache

The Legend of MonkeyBrad is by far the best Library cache I have ever seen and have seen a few of this type I have I have

What I've said all along is that you "" WON'T "" (what's up with the ""'s?) get permission from Wal-Mart to place a cache in their parking lot. This greenway, proposed or actual, is a special circumstance.With permission you can place a cache any where at Wal-Mart "" Period "" and they may think by the dumpster is really cool, go "ASK FOR PERMISSION "This proposed greenway has to have permission of Wal-Mart when it becomes a actual greenway it will be by permit only from Metro Nashville Parks dept.
There is “NO” special circumstance you will have to ask permission from someone to place a cache at this Wal-Mart and should ask for any commercially owned property if you would like to think that its cool not to ask permission that is up to you and Groundspeak however I chose to ask permission
The reason for the BS is that you have no idea what you are talking about with this Wal-Mart, Don’t know what else to say so you can understand

I am not questioning the fact that Wal-Mart allowed caches to be placed on property they own and have set aside for recreation. I am stating that Wal-Mart would frown on a cache being placed in their parking lot, out back by their dumpster, or anywhere else on their property that they hadn't developed for recreation.
Joe can correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I'm reading, the property in question was developed by Wal-Mart as a park. It is not a Wal-Mart parking lot. A parking lot was built with the intent to allow people to park. A park is built with the intent to be outside.
Thanks, Joe.Have four regular size caches at Wal-Mart, it took seven months to get the proper permission from them for placement but it was worth it for what they accomplishedFrom the cache pages:
With the new Supercenter in southeast Nashville will be getting there over a stream. The company ended up building six bridges instead of paving over a creek, part of a deal with local environmental authorities to develop the site on Nolensville Road south of Old Hickory Boulevard. "It's kind of unusual in a retail development that you'd have all this greenery and water through the middle of the site.
The company planted 250 trees left 12 acres undeveloped ans set aside a 5 acre conservation easement along the creek that could be used for a future public greenway. Although company officials described the new store as fitting into its “commitment to sustainability “ keeping with local environmentalists concerns. Not only does Whittemore Branch Creek run right through it, the creek is a tributary on Mill Creek, home to the endangered Nashville crayfish ( a shell fish )
They are not all drive by or micros at Wally Worlds
Joe
I'll have to remember your post the next time someone states that WalMart's policies would forbid any caches on their property.
Your suggestion that this example shows that Wal-Mart will allow caches at their parking lots & retail establishments is a faulty argument.
There is “NO” faulty argument, caches are allowed at Wal-Marts any where with permission "" Period ""
I have to agree with JoGPS on this one. Read it again carefully, Wal-Mart set aside 12 acres to be undeveloped and 5 acres as conservation easment. Thats 17 acres of property Wal-Mart owns, period.
Trying to translate a park, developed for recreation, into a parking lot, developed so people can access the store, is a faulty argument.
are we having a hard time understanding, This has nothing to with a park, and there is no recreation area, the greenway is proposed, With permission you can place a cache any where at Wal-Mart "" Period "" and they may think by the dumpster is really cool, go "ASK FOR PERMISSION "

The devil made me post the pictures
da Monkeybrad checking to see how stable it was
da Monkeybrad finding out
Must be fair he was really trying to find the limits of his new kayak, we had a blast that weekend, he could already out row me now he has a new supper paddle he has me scared he does he does hee hee
With Monkeybrad in mind placed this cache
-
Don’t have a kayak but have a small row boat that I use when going out with my buddies kayaking and canoing, only difference, I don't flip over.
At this cache location had a 180lb concrete cache tied around my waist with ropes as the two cachers in scuba gear got the cache open with a 24 in pipe wrench man, what we want do for a smiley
The very first L.P.C (where and when?)
