+fox-and-the-hound Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I like the idea of Dallas or even San Antonio. Give everyone a "central" location and we might be surprised at the possible numbers generated! Link to comment

+pghlooking Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 So who is actually putting a bid in for it? I see lots of people saying let's go here or there, but without someone to host it there, it won't happen. Do we have any cities to start talking about yet that are actually putting a bid in?

Yea, but Geowoodstock is in Tennessee next year. True, didn't think about that. Nashville area however, is a great caching area, with lots of parks and a very large amount of caches. Take a look at this map and zoom out a couple of clicks. Edited July 23, 2008 by OshnDoc Link to comment

+Butterfly_lady Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Don't y'all need a holiday in New Zealand.... all unique caches to y'all too... One year Europe, one year US then one year somewhere else seems a fair distribution.... Yeah - I know - you will want someone to underwrite the event before even considering going offshore... Might be cheaper for me to try and get sponsorship for a trip there. Link to comment

+backhiker Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Well the MWGB will still be in the midwest and Geowoodstock is in Tennessee... So even though I probably won't make the trip I think out west or in Canada would be fair! Link to comment

+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Calgary! There is an EXTENSIVE trail system for biking, hiking, walking, jogging. Many, many parks (and safe too!). Plus, for the hard-core outdoor folks you have the Canadian Rockies nearby. - you can also fish in the river that runs through the city. Edited July 30, 2008 by Lemon Fresh Dog Link to comment
+Dale n Barb Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Orlando Florida. Close to all the theme parks, great weather in October, International Airport, Convention Center and hotels out the gazoo. A real geocaching store for you to do your shopping only 50 miles to the east (shameless plug) and tons of great caches. If it is in October cachers can make it for the soon to be MEGA event Florida Finders Fest as well. Link to comment

Jake - Team A.I. Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 There's Phoenix, home to the South Mountain Park: The World's Largest City Park. And what city park would be complete without a few geocaches... almost 90 of them. East side of South Mountain Park and surrounding area If that's not enough, there's the show in the sky every evening at dusk.... and sometimes there's an encore later Besides, it's not like we're asking you to come to Phoenix in June, July, or August!!
