+treasure_hunter Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Greetings everyone! I would like to plan a large event! This Event would/ will take place in The Breaks Interstate Park! “The Grand Canyon of the South” The Breaks Interstate Park This State Park is shared both by Kentucky and Virginia being that it is on the Stateline! This park has an 82-room lodge with conference center and restaurant; also with a campground with 122 Campsites to chose from with Utilities with Cabins. The park is also home to the 12-acre Laurel Lake, which is very popular with Water Sports lovers and is also stocked with a variety of fish! There is a swimming pool and horseback riding for those who wish to take a break from it all. Also there are more than 15 miles of Hiking Trails that lace the park varying in difficulty. There is also a nearby Golf Course. The park also has an Amphitheater, which houses a variety of performances. The park is also home to some 11 active Geocaches! There are some 254 caches within 30 miles of this park, all within a 1-hour radius around from the park! And is very much possible to find in a 2-3 day period! There are 30+ Geocachers in the area! When searching for nearby caches in this area, use zip code (24607). Ultimately my goal would be to draw local and non-local cachers from nearby states alike to the area! This area is very beautiful and has many things to offer! This is a great place to bring the family, pick up a few caches, relax and enjoy nature! I would like to get some input from cachers in the surrounding area who would be interested in attending! Please give me your thoughts! Who would be interested in attending this sort of Event? Thanks *I will be posting this in both the South East and North East regional Forums so that cachers in those areas can read about it! Plus the park is both in Virginia and Kentucky!

+Team GetOffCouch Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think it sounds great! The Mr. and I were talking about taking weekend trips centered around caching. What would be the timeframe for this? As our schedules are crazy, we would need to plan a month or so out. If not this year, how about next Spring, Summer or Fall? Quote Link to comment
+treasure_hunter Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Well if not this year, next Spring would be a great time to schedule the Event! I hope to have a large turnout if all goes well! I figure that this would be a 3 day weekend Event (that could change). Input please?? Quote Link to comment
+treasure_hunter Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Good, glad to know at least one cacher is interested! Try and talk to some of your fellow cachers, and see if you can get them interested in it! I know I will have all local cachers from the area, I'd say 30+ to attend, but I would like to have cachers from nearby states that would like at attend! Quote Link to comment
+Man In The Wild Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 We'll go if we can. (Plus I'll have to pay more attention to surrounding states since I've mostly been watching WV lately.) Quote Link to comment
+treasure_hunter Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Good.... Im glad to see that there are people interested! I hope more people see this and are interested also! There is no set date yet, only a time frame.... possibly late this year or spring of 2007. Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Can you please provide a link to one of the caches in the park. So I can see how far I gotta drag Joiseyians down past the mason dixon line I think planning a weekend event would be great for the late fall. A lodge is awesome. Count me in if i am available.

+treasure_hunter Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I just recieved an email back from the Park Officials! I explained Geocaching to them, and I also explained what an Event was! I was told that they would be more than happy to host such an event! They quickly told me the number of rooms campsites and cottages they have! They also informed me that they could cater the event. even bringin food to the shelters! Quote Link to comment

+treasure_hunter Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Cool, I have contacted BluegrassReviewer, he is willing to help me out with this event! Quote Link to comment
+treasure_hunter Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 I just received my 2006-07 school calendar! The possible weekend is, April 13, 14 and 15th. Is this good for everyone? This is during my spring break, and one of only a few days off from school in the Spring of 2007! So please let me know what you think? Quote Link to comment
+Team GetOffCouch Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Treasure Hunter, I will keep those dates in mind. Our attendance will be dependant on what the military schedule is for next year and whether or not I will be in sunny AZ for border patrol. Will let you know as soon as I hear something!
