+king-of-halloween Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 STOP!!!! STOP!!!!!! Quit twisting my arm!!! Yes we will be there Quote Link to comment
+gravechaser Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 My gosh, Bret, a rough head count of 33 and it's only been 4, count 'em, four days. This may well be the huge event you've been dreaming of! Quote Link to comment
+Jenischmeni Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I think that every able-bodied person should show up so we can beat those Harley rider's record. Surely we can do it this time!!!!!! Quick! Somebody call Guinness! We have a record to set. (And somebody call the other Guinness for Six dog! LOL) Quote Link to comment
+adt1982 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm really hoping I can make it to this! What's the harley record? Quote Link to comment
+Wolverine Warriors Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) As official Promoters for the Moonshine event. We encourage everybody to go to this event. We made the four hour drive last year from Michigan and camped. The burgers at moonshine and the people that you get to hang out with are well worth the trip to this event. We will definately be making another weekend trip to Moonshine, IllANNOY. Edited April 23, 2008 by Wolverine Warriors Quote Link to comment
+Wolverine Warriors Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) I'm really hoping I can make it to this! What's the harley record? http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...12-cefa95bf8027 Here is the link to last years cache page. The record was 712. Edited April 23, 2008 by Wolverine Warriors Quote Link to comment
+otis89 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 So far, there have been 28 "Will Attends" posted. I know some people will be bringing others, but to break the record with 28 people, we'd need to eat almost 25.5 burgers apiece. We're going to need more people. Quote Link to comment
+Arndtwe Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I really hope I can make this event! I hope to see you there!! Quote Link to comment

+CYBret Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Heads up about Moonshine here. There's an evening event in Fowler Park just south of Terre Haute. Now, I'm not sure how many of you know where Terre Haute is, but it's in a delightful state just to the east of IlliNOISE known as IndiANNER. There are a TON of caches in the Terre Haute area--drive by micros, nice long hikes, puzzles, etc. It's a great place to cache. The name of the event? Moonshine Hangover of course! Hope to see you there! Quote Link to comment
+Wolverine Warriors Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 We can't wait we are getting excited already. At the rate the "will attends" are coming in this will be a MEGA event by August. Quote Link to comment
+Jenischmeni Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Wolverine Warriors, If memory serves, didn't you guys camp at Lincoln Park for the last Moonshine? How were the campgrounds? Did they take reservations? Was it nice? Anabel & Brazilindy, Go-Purdue & Zugzwang, JPlus14, Mr. Schmeni and I camped at Hickory Holler. Nothing wrong with Hickory Holler, I was just hoping to find something a little more uh...modern. Hickory Holler's facilities were a pretty good distance from the campsites. (You had to drive there.) The privvy near the campground was uh...trying to be polite....unused for very long periods of time. I'd LOVE to camp at Fowler. I LOVE Fowler. But, I looked it up on their website and they don't take reservations. (Which Bret has already said.) With it being Labor Day weekend, I am uncomfortable planning on camping at a place that is first come, first served. It could prove to be a long drive home!! Thanks!!

+knabino Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The GONIL folks who went to Moonshine last year talked about it all year so I made the decision to head down that way this year. Gonna make it a camping vacation for my son and me. Neither of us can wait. Quote Link to comment
+gravechaser Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Jenischmeni, Lincoln Trail is a nice campground. I don't know if they take reservations, though. We live just a bit north of the park, I can find out pretty quickly for you. Quote Link to comment
+gravechaser Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I've never tried to put a link in like this...lets see if this works: This is for a page on the park itself and the page has an email link to question the park: http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/landmgt/PARKS/R3/LINCOLN.HTM You can contact the park yourself to find out if reservations are accepted!

+Wolverine Warriors Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Jenischmeni we did camp there last year and it is a nice state park we stayed in the Plainview Campground. It has showers and bathrooms real close plus playground equipment. I talked to the state park and they don't take reservations it is first come first serve only. I also asked if they could set aside a section for a group of people and they said usually they would try to help a group out but since it is a holiday weekend they can't set aside an area for us. We are planning on camping there if at all possible again this year. Quote Link to comment
+Jenischmeni Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well, for pete's sake! Is it just me or is it weird that these campgrounds don't take reservations? What if I was driving in from say North Dakota. With a big 'ol 5th wheel behind me? What if I keep trying all the campgrounds and they'll all full? Maybe I don't wish to stay in a WalMart parking lot!!! BUT...thanks for the info. It's not YOUR fault! LOL I'll figure something out. (And quickly hopefully!) P.S. Great to see you again WW!!!!

+anabel Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 walmart parking lot is funny...hahaha...Jeni...you crack me up! Is the campground big enough? can they at least assure we will get a spot? Quote Link to comment

Minus the fifth wheel I've had that happen a couple of times in Colorado when there's some event in the area. Had to drive 50 miles out of my way one night to find a campsite for a tent.

+Cpt.Blackbeard Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 My brother and his family have started caching now and are already thinking about coming to moonshine. If I can co9nvince them and my BIL that will make 5 extra. Quote Link to comment
+Lady Loki Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 We signed up and are definitely looking forward to going... that'll be 3 that'll eat burgers, and one that'll probably just gorge on Cheerios. We might drag another person along, but I think between the three of us we can put away at least 6, maybe more! (And the baby might be ready for burgers by then, so that'd be another one!)

I haven't decided if t-shirts will be available at the event or not. For now they are available on the event website: GeoMoonshine.Com. As for going Mega....it looks like we've got about 61 registered so far...so it'll take a few more before we get there. Quote Link to comment
+Cpt.Blackbeard Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 So if I buy the shirt off the website will you deliver it to me at the event and save me the shipping costs? (and the digits are your AGE. Guess the mind reallty is the first to go. ) Quote Link to comment

I just started the Atkins diet Monday, can I get the moonbugers without the buns? Atkins is the only diet I've ever managed to lose weight with, 4 pounds already this week. And I can't remember if I registered at that other sire or not, nor why I have to register there when I already posted a will attend on the cache page. Quote Link to comment

+gravechaser Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Good news! We are done chipping and sealing roads in the area! As a matter of fact when we were working down there I went in to get a grape soda. I told Helen that I was going to bring my kids back for the cachers get-together and she got so excited! She is looking forward to all of us coming down. She called us "a Nice Bunch of Folks"! Wonderful cold grape soda, too! Quote Link to comment

She's pretty excited about the numbers, too! We're looking at about 230 or so right now. LOTS of prizes at the event, thanks to a lot of very generous geocachers and a few very generous organizations. There's even going to be some really nice things for the kids. And big kids!
