Henderson would be very cool, and cheaper then actual Las Vegas. I should be able to help out as well. rsg, you may be getting looked up in about 1 1/2 months, my wife is really interested in your flipflops coins.

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?

I would love to put in an official bid, but I don't know where to send it. :anitongue:

You can send it to me, this isn't actually a bid thread, just one to strike up some location ideas. :anitongue: If anyone has any questions or would like a bid sheet LMK. Youtube video is optional. :laughing:

How about Nashville, TN?

 

I'd go to TN. I've always wanted to visit Nashville.

 

I'm going to Graceland, Graceland.....

Yea, but Geowoodstock is in Tennessee next year.

Just curious. Who are the members of the Geocoin Committee or is there one? How is the final determination actually made on where the events are held and who determines that?

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.

How about Kansas City? We are right here in the middle of the lower 48 and we have lots of caches and plenty of low priced hotels and great barbecue. We have some crazy little women here too.

I second this one! :laughing: Close to home. Daughter lives there. Free lodging (for me anyway) Perfect! This years is faarther than we'd want to drive & flying is not in the budget. Center of the country too. :laughing:

I hear ya on this one...it is the exact reason that we did not attend the first GCF and GW-6. Luckily, this year I will be able to take advanatage of the free lodging option AND be able to drop the kids off at grandma's for a bit :laughing:

Hawaii, cause that's where I'll be living by 10/09. =)

 

Just as long as I can call the spare br/floor/futon!

(And don't say it, you're gonna make me cry... :D )

I'll share a futon with you. Joani never reads the forums anymore so I'm sure I won't get in trouble for saying that... :D

 

oh, wait, Kealia probably does and he's bigger than me... never mind.

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.

Somewhere within driving distance of AL... If things go as planned, I may be very large and unable to fly in a plane by October of next year.

 

Wow good luck!

Well the MWGB will still be in the midwest :ph34r: 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!

Hawaii gets my vote! C'mon, don't you all want to take a little Hawaiian vacation? I can recommend some great camp sites to ease the burden on your wallets :unsure:

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.

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.

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!! :mad:

I vote for Phoenix. Wanted to go back there for a while. GCF would be a great reason. ;)

August isn't a good time to visit Phoenix? Oops. Be there in 8 days. :mad:

Is having the event north of the border in Canada even a remote option? I can see if anyone else around here is interested in bidding, however, I wonder how many cachers would consider a northern journey?
