avroair Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Did we kill it? No... we just made it angry! Ello beastie! Aargh! Maties! Pirates of Harriman V The Kraken's Calling Geocaching Picnic Event Saturday, September 27th, 2008 - 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. At Harriman State Park, Sebago Beach picnic area Pirates of Harriman V cache page, click here The Kraken is a sea creature of monstrous proportions that is controlled by Davy Jones, supernatural ruler of the ocean realms. When given command by the heartless sailor, the gargantuan behemoth rises from the briny deep, and devours whatever it is told to devour, no exceptions. Armed with deadly tentacles and destructive power, the Kraken is used often by Jones to destroy ships that threaten, or simply annoy him. One of the Kraken's most powerful weapons is fear that can be used to keep a person at bay, eliminating the threat altogether... be ready ladies and gentlepirates!

+HaLiJuSaPa Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 As noted in our log for the cache itself, hope to finally go to this this year (had to back out at the last minute last year as our daughter got sick). By the way, is the "premium only" designation an error? MarkSun was asking me.....thanks! Quote Link to comment

Sorry, was button clicking happy! I noticed that too! Boy, a members only event sure would have made for an angsty forum topic, eh? Quote Link to comment
+MountainRacer Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I noticed that too! Boy, a members only event sure would have made for an angsty forum topic, eh? It would have, briefly, but Avroair is a merciful Pirate Captain and I knew he'd just gone 'overboard' with the checkboxes on the submittal page. Meanwhile, I can't wait to see the new coin; last year's was a graphic-design tour-de-force. Quote Link to comment

cliff_hanger Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 "Directions From the North: From the NY Thruway (route 87) take route 106 east going into the park, take the third right at Kanawauke circle going South on Seven Lakes Drive. On Seven Lakes look for the Sebago Beach exit." Be aware that Route 106 is listed as CLOSED between Little Long Pond and Lake Kanawauke. If so, you won't make it to Kanawauke Circle. (visit link) "Route 106 Closed: Between Little Long Pond and Kanawauke Lake until end of summer due to bridge closing. Trailhead parking areas are accessible only from the west (Route 17/17A)" Be good to check as the event gets closer Quote Link to comment

polskikrol Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Would anyone be interested in a loop hike before or after the event? Dont suppose anyone has some good links to free trail maps of the region? Looks like there may be a good loop hike somewhere in the area bordered by the following: Route 87, County HWY 106, Seven Lakes Drive, Arden Valley Road. Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 I believe I still have the Harriman trail maps at home, I will look for them tonight and loan them to you at the event. I believe there are a couple of caches going in close to the event besides the Earthcache that sits nearby. If you are into hiking more than caching, the Africa loop is a wonderful jaunt with varying terrains, peaks and lakes. Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 aaaarrrgggghhhh Thanks for the offer... I think we're gonna go to campmor at some point this week and pick up some maps since we'll need them anyway (and i love maps) and thanks for the tip, we'll look into the Africa loop.... ..so anyone interested in joining us?

+fox-and-the-hound Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hey Avro, do we have everything covered in case of a wash-out? I'm hearing rain all weekend over here in PA and just wanted to double check. Quote Link to comment
