Clan Riffster Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I would if I could. We live in Central Florida. Our oldest daughter graduates from Cumberland College in Williamsburg Kentucky in early May. We've got enough $$$ for one trip north. When I suggested we spend our $$$ on GW-5 and make plans to be at her Doctorate graduation 4 years from now, I had to duck. I still kick myself for not going to GW-3 just up the road.

+SgtSue Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Thought I was going then work reared it's ugly head. Thought I had that worked out then once again the boss decided I needed to be somewhere else. "Sir, Please, please, please, Sir" were my cries. Still not sure if I will make it or be "needed" somewhere else. If I just wasn't so good at me job it might be easier to get off work. Hey Llatnek, let me scan in that permission slip, maybe I can change the name and give it to the boss - he's a West Pointer and can easily be fooled.

+GRANPA ALEX Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 As a local cacher (Raleigh area) I can tell you . . . you will have TOO MANY cache choices and TOO MANY areas to cache . . . no matter what your desire and flavor - there will be too many of those too. You can even leave the Raleigh area, if you feel crowded, go south 30 minutes and drop into a heaven of caches in Sanford/Lee County . . . the whole central NC area is busting with hides, good ones, challenging ones, puzzle ones, tc ones, mystery ones, multis, micros . . . it is all there for you. Come early & stay late! Great hotels, super people and there is the Horsegeeks' BBQ, too. This is NOT an event to miss, the planning is thorough and as well done as the chicken pork & beef spread out for your happy consumption. See ya'll in Raleigh, come ready to have fun and eat lots! You are warmly welcomed!!! Quote Link to comment

+Vegas Gamblers Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 We have vacation scheduled for the week after. We were able to get (bribe) other people at work to cover our shifts for the days before and we will be there. We are also driving and caching along the way from Wisconsin. Right now we are planning a two day drive to get there and then stay Friday and Saturday night and leave Sunday for a two-three day drive home. This will be our first national event and we can't wait. To those out there that are procrastinating get moving because the hotels are filling fast. See you in 37 days and 18 hours.
