Jefferson County Road Trip

[+SeabeckTribe]

The Tribe has been giving some thought about doing a day of caching in Jefferson County on Saturday August 6th. With the Luau, vacation and school starting, we thought this would be a good time for us. We had such a great time on the "OhJoy! Mystery Cache Day". We thought we would invite other cachers to come and join us. Our plans would be to start our caching in Port Angeles and work our way back home. There are thirty three caches on our list. (two multi's that are maybe's) The Tribe has done several, but thought others would like to do them since they would be on the route. We had in mind to start off in Silverdale. Those that want to caravan up to PA would meet at a location and leave at a set time. It will take about 1.5 hours if the traffic flows well. If you know someone that might like to join in the caravan or carpool with you, please feel free to contact them and pass this invite along. Then there are those that just might want to meet us at the first cache. Please reply in the forum or email us if you would like to come along. List will follow sometime this weekend.

 

Hope you will join us

We won't be able to make this one. We're going to a couple of parties in Seattle that weekend.

 

Sounds like fun, though.

I might be interested in this one. I will lurk here with great interest.

[+ohjoy!]

Thanks for the invite. This Sunday, right after my granddaughter's wedding, I will be flying the red-eye to Nashville, heading north to Mammoth Caves where I am on a restoration crew for a week.

 

Yes, I'll teach my nephew to geocache on the trip from Nashville to the caves, and while there do a few more with cavers also on the crew.

 

Then, off to my sister's home in NC and teaching her to cache - AND - spending a day with Curmudgeonly Gal and Just Mike - what do you think we'll be doing?

 

So, I won't be there, but I'll be having a lot of fun.

 

See you all at the luau.

Not sure if Inmywoods adn I can make this. She and I have some company up from California that weekend. But we'll be teaching them about caching some of the time!

 

OhJoy!: wow....sounds like a fun excursion you got planned there! I hope to visit those caves someday.

Here is the list of caches. We hope to post a road trip map this weekend. The Tribe also has 2 to 4 extra radios to loan out so we can be in comunication with each other.

 

The Tribe will sure miss you Ohjoy! but your trip sounds like a lot of fun. Hope you have a great time.

[+WeightMan]

That sounds like a rather ambitious list. I doubt we would be able to do that entire list in one day even given perfect caching. If the Wally World caches are the light pole type, I would suggest we can cull those.

 

As a note, I will need a final meeting spot by Thursday morning as I will be away from my internet connection starting late that morning.

 

Back to lurking mode.

The Tribe is thinking about safe place place for people who would like to leave their cars that might want to carpool. Here are some places we have considered: northend of the mall parking lot, Safeway, Target, or Bowling Alley. Please let us know what sounds good to you.

I wish I could make it but have other commitments this weekend.

 

This looks a lot like the route Travis will probaby be building for the Sept Port Townsend / Port Angeles Cache Machine.

[Fledermaus]

If anyone in the Port Orchard, Bremerton or Silverdale area has room for a passenger, I would like to attend this Mini-Cache Machine. If you have room for me, please call me at (360)373-3910 and leave a message on the answering machine so I can return your call.

The Tribe did not realize that there were plans of a Cache Machine in September. We have decided not to continue with this road trip, so we can join in on the Cache Machine. We appreciated those who have responsed. If we decide to plan another road trip, we will definitely post it on the forums.

Thats to bad. I was trying to rearrange my schedule for that weekend.... wanted to get a head start on the CM

[+SeabeckTribe]

Sorry about that...

 

The Tribe has decided to go to Ocean Shores. We have a BIG lot down there at Ocean Shores Outdoor Receation Club. If you have a camper or tent come and join us we have plenty of room. We are leaving late Friday afternoon. Saturday we will cache in the Aberdeen/Hoquiam area working our way back to Ocean Shores. Then pick up any in the OS area we might not have gotten to Saturday. Then try to get an early start home. Like around 1 - 2ish. If it is a possibility let us know.

 

Do you think we should start another topic for this trip? We sure wouldn't mind inviting other cachers to join us Saturday.
