+Nochipra Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 I just wanted to wish all the Geowoodstock VI attendees a good time. Wish I could have gone but finances and my mode of transportation does not allow me to, so please post your pics and stories here so we that could not attend can live vicariously through you. Thanks Quote
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 I couldn't make it either, had to cancel just last week. Hopefully attendees will post some pictures and stories, I know it will be a great event. Quote
+imfrog2002 Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 I'll have pictures! They'll be tagged on Flickr, so just search for "imfrog2002 Geowoodstock6" on there for mine. Just searching for geowoodstock6 should give you a lot more. Quote
+Driver Carries Cache Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 The Friday Night Meet & Greet was awesome! Heard estimates of up to 700 people! Wish all of the forum regulars could be here... I did get to meet Snoogans and family and am hoping to meet some of the other forum folk. Wish you were all here! Driver Carries Cache Quote
+CYBret Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 So far so good...having a blast. We managed about 62 finds today and tomorrow's event will be a milestone if I can get enough sleep in the next 5 and a half hours! I have a blister on my big toe :-( Also....what's with these horrible burr plants in California?!?!?! Good grief! Those things are NASTY!!!!!! Quote

+Nochipra Posted May 24, 2008 Author Posted May 24, 2008 I guess everyone is having too much fun to post pics yet? Quote
+S2333 Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 I guess everyone is having too much fun to post pics yet? Lets just wait. It sounds like an awesome time. Certainly a few caches have been placed. I'm sure there will be thousands of pictures when it is finished. Quote
+FamilyDNA Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Okay, I'll post a couple pics. The event really was well done. Gold Panning: Geocoin Poker: Signal: Quote
+Nochipra Posted May 25, 2008 Author Posted May 25, 2008 Cool pics, looks like lots of fun. Thanks for posting. Quote
+mtn-man Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I got *THE* picture. Let's just say that the future is looking up for Groundspeak. Peace, Love and Geocaching! Food! Great food at the event today. The Group of Six Time Geowoodstock Attendees! Dwindling down to just 8 now. So great to see so many friends again. If I missed you today, well, see you in Tennessee next year! Quote
+Michael Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) Food! Great food at the event today. Noticed Jeremy serving folks at the far right table! Edited May 25, 2008 by Michael Quote
+El Diablo Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 He served food last year. I think it's a trade off so he can eat first. El Diablo Quote
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 If I missed you today, well, see you in Tennessee next year! Woohoo! Quote
+mtn-man Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 He served food last year. I think it's a trade off so he can eat first. Shhhh! All the food had a purple tinge to it and taste a bit like kool-aid. Don't know why that is. Quote
+coreynjoey Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Food! Great food at the event today. Noticed Jeremy serving folks at the far right table! If the pic had been a little bit more to the right, you'd see Cybret serving dessert!! Quote
+MissJenn Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 For those interested, here are some photos. Please do NOT let me stop you from posting great pics to this thread, though. Quote
+mtn-man Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 If the pic had been a little bit more to the right, you'd see Cybret serving dessert!! So that's who that strange guy was that was serving dessert with hockeychik.com? Quote

Neos2 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Cool.. I see what I would have been doing if I had been there (photos of the people I would hang out with are already showing up). I would have loved to have been there, but my youngest son graduated --with Honors-- from high school yesterday. I felt like I needed to be here for that. Hope everyone is having fun! Quote

+Wacka Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) The burrs are called foxtails here in CA. They get into your socks at the slightest touch. It was strange weather at GWVI. Cold (low 60s) and it rained overnight before GW. We had 3-4 days of 100 degree weather the week before and it has rained only once since March 1 (except for Friday night).

+ComputerCacheBug Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 may want to edit the picture with signal in it. Or there may end up being some virtual logs. Quote

+beckerbuns Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I started a Flickr group for pics from GWVI. It's here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/geowoodstockvi/ I'm adding mine in a moment and I hope to see everyone else's! Quote

+Bulldograce Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 KitFox thanks for the pictures Pal! Hope you and the family are having a great time... but from the looks of that one photo you are due to buy someone an ice cream! Quote
+beckerbuns Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Noticed Jeremy serving folks at the far right table! Yeah, I rather thought this was the money shot. Quote

We really lucked out for the event though. Cloudy, pleasant temperature, and just a few drops here and there. Never drizzle or rain! Quote
+JohnnyVegas Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) I post some photo at the url listed here Geowoodstock VI Edited May 26, 2008 by JohnnyVegas Quote
+softball29 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Awesome photos. I really want to be able to attend this next year. Did they announce where next year's will be? I might have missed a topic on this already... Quote
+bncs_mom1 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Awesome photos. I really want to be able to attend this next year. Did they announce where next year's will be? I might have missed a topic on this already... Yes, it was announced. It will be in Tennessee next year. Anybody in California interested in a road trip next year? i'm planning to leave one week ahead of time, and will take one route to GW7, and after it's over, will take another route back to California after. If anyone's interested, i'll make all the arrangements. Please email me and we'll start discussing it. -april Quote

Hate that I had to miss it, life intrudes. I do want to get together and will certainly be at GW7. In the meantime share your fun by writing something about y'alls experience for The Online Geocacher Magazine! Quote
+mtn-man Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I uploaded almost all of my photos on my picasa site. http://picasaweb.google.com/puppymonster/Geowoodstock6Photos Photos missing had TBug numbers on them and such. Great day! Fun to look at the photos by everyone. Shauna, Jeremy, Monkeybrad and Lil Devil pushing the Pepsi cart. Quote
+Driver Carries Cache Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Quite a population explosion! I've got a photo of myself standing in front of that sign. That one cracked me up! And there's a cache right there as well! DCC Quote

+CYBret Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Ask a reviewer session It bothers me that I seem to have the same expression on my face as the goat. Quote
+Tomahawk chop shop Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 GW6 was great fun! there was a ton of people and the stuff to buy ws amazing...the food was excellent, and the caching was plentiful...my only problem is that the previous 5 GW were held back east and in the central states....so Cali gets one...ONLY ONE! AND THEY GO NEXT YEAR TO FREAKIN TENNESSEE! OMG, WHO THE HECK PLANS THESE THINGS...okay sorrry for yelling, but come on...at least give the best coast one more to go to...it was so much fun and no way i can travel to Tennessee! Thats my beef!

+El Diablo Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Ask a reviewer session It bothers me that I seem to have the same expression on my face as the goat. I was noticing that. Now the question is...what is that look? I have an idea, but I'm not saying. El Diablo Quote
+mtn-man Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 WHO THE HECK PLANS THESE THINGS... Oh yeah, I am suddenly reminded that we should probably thank the guy who came up with the whole idea to begin with. JoGPS thought up the idea and got the ball rolling for this. What a great idea it was to try to have an event to bring together "geocachers from all over". Though it started with a small number of folks meeting in Louisville (oddly, with a lot of cachers named mtn-man attending), it is amazing that his work and the work of so many people in so many great cities have made the event grow and grow each year and get better and better each year. I am glad that after four years of traveling around the country that you can bring the event idea you thought up back to your home state of Tennessee. Thanks for all you have done. A little tribute to the first group that met that day in 2003... JoGPS, hopefully you will get a chance to relax in the shade some at GW7 too. Hope to see you there buddy. Quote
