+Snoogans Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Okay, My wife, son, and I, will be there for the whole week! YAY! We should be in town and staying with family in Folsom by the 21st. I plan to make all the run-up events and the 4WD run the day after the big event. (If the 4WD run happens.) Who else is going? How many in your group? How many of the events and activities do you plan to attend? Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) We will not be there. Initially, I thought that we might be able to go, but we decided to go to the Olympics, instead. I don't have enough annual leave to do both. Edited May 2, 2008 by sbell111 Quote Link to comment
+Monkeybrad Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Scoot and I will be there, with eight other Middle Tennessee folks in our party. Quote Link to comment

We'll be at the Friday night and Saturday events. Sunday we'll be in the San Jose area and Monday along the coast. Red eye back to NC Monday night, land, go to work. Quote Link to comment
+hydnsek Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) We will not be there. Initially, I thought that we might be able to go, but we decided to go to the Olympics, instead. I don't have enough annual leave to do both. I won't be at GW, but I am partial to the Olympics, since I live nearby. If you want/need any input for your trip, email me or drop by the Northwest forum. We are always happy to help out visitors to the sunny Pacific Northwest...advice, caching tours, event get-togethers....we do it all. Edited May 2, 2008 by hydnsek Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'll be touching ground Thursday evening around 7:30 local time. Heading back out Monday afternoon. Look for me at the event....I'll be the guy wearing the hat and holding a GPS. Quote Link to comment
+DanOCan Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 The two of us will be there, and I will have a 2007 Calgary Area Cachers coin with your name on it. (Not literally, mind you, but you know what I mean...) Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 GeoWoodstock VI Last count posted about a week ago shows over 2100 registered! I've been predicting 3,000+ on the day of the event since last year. That event is is smack in the middle of the most active caching community in the U.S. The final number could be a shocker. We're gonna need a new icon (MONSTER Event) for this one IMO. Heck, the meet and greet will be a MEGA event just like last year..... Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) I'm going . My only gripe is the 417 mile (one way drive). Oh boo hoo. I'm driving over 2,000 miles. Lookin' foreword to meetin you. Man, I'm glad I started this thread. There's already a few folks that I didn't know were going from the geowoodstockvi.com forum.

+Snoogans Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 and I'm going to be looking for some of those Snoogans sig items in the local caches We have lots of non-geocaching family and friends in the area so I don't know how much cachin' I'll get done. I should be hittin' a few caches in Folsom, Orangevale, Carmichael, Winters, and Antelope. Just come see me at any of the events and I'll give ya one. Quote Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'll be thar, and I be performing thar. Does that mean Fireworks? I can't wait to see!! I've requested the time off, so if they get me home in time I'll be there. Quote Link to comment
+FamilyDNA Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Look for me at the event....I'll be the guy wearing the hat and holding a GPS. Well, that narrows it down a bit. We'll be there. Only 20+ miles from home. N will be cooking Friday night, and I (D) will be helping out at registration sometime Saturday. Quote Link to comment

+tomfuller & Quill Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 e name='Kit Fox' date='May 2 2008, 07:32 AM' post='3456061'] I'm going . My only gripe is the 417 mile (one way drive). If it's just you, I'd strongly consider the Amtrak route. Bus to Bakersfield 10:15AM train BFD to Stockton and bus to Sacramento arriving about 3:30 PM in Sacramento. Fare from Adelento $66, Palmdale $60, Mojave $55. 10% discount if AAA member or 15% if 62+. Check out my Oregon to Sacramento by Train post on geowoodstockvi.com in the forums. I've been on several of the busses into and out of Bakersfield, they're OK. Return trip gets back to the Antelope Valley late afternoon-early evening. Hope to meet a lot of you in 3 weeks.

vagabond Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 We're supposed to be working that weekend, but we were able to get the 24th off. And its only about 100 miles for us. Sure glad we planned ahead and volunteered to be a camphost at Caswell State Memorial Park in Ripon Quote Link to comment

I explored the Amtrak option but with a family of four the cost was about $250 +/- and it means i'll have to skip a cache that has been on my "to-do" list for over three years.

+CYBret Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) Heh...I looked into Amtrak too...just for fun. I didn't have 53 hours to kill! Still, I had a friend in college who made the trip. It was pretty awesome. I'll be flying into Sacramento around 7:30 pm on Thursday. Look for me at the airport...I'll be the guy with the hat.....and carrying a lightsaber (the GPS will be in my bag) Edited May 17, 2008 by CYBret Quote Link to comment

I'm traveling with Dave, fishingfools, and Night-Hawk for this year's version of Team CHB. This will be my fifth Geowoodstock; I expect to be a bit more relaxed than I was last year although it was a lot of FUN. I also hope to find a few more caches; I got leapfrogged by dozens of attendees. Umm Bret-we are talking about CA airports. Lots of people will have light sabers and other galactic accessories I imagine. Quote Link to comment

+Landsharkz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 We're travelling to GW from British Columbia and we're bringing two cool TB's. The first is our Shark TB that was a gift from spud502 who has since left the west coast for Ontario. The Landsharkz Shark TB goes with us to events for discovering only. The second is one that kickedbuttedmonton brought it to us from Alberta! It's called 'Where's the Party?' TB and it wants to go to events too. Both these will be at our booth if anyone would like to discover them. Quote Link to comment
