Caching Through The Snow #6


weathernowcast

Recommended Posts

The tradition of caching through the snow continues!

 

The event will be held December 6th at Krough's.

 

The restaurant opens at noon sharp.

Judging from last year's attendance you will want to be there when the doors open.

 

Here is a look at the coin:

Once again we will have a pre-event hike.

 

More information to follow but caches will be hidden within the Sparta region on "relatively" flat ground (i.e. not Sparta Glen--despite my nostalgia)

 

Watch this forum topic for pre-event hike information and the co-ordinates of the caches that will be placed before the event.

Pre-event hikes details:

 

Up to ten new caches will be placed in an around Sparta Mountain WMA off of Edison Road.

The Sparta Mountain WMA is the area south and west of GC15QP1.

 

Departures for the pre-event hikes will begin at 8AM.

 

Multiple departures will occur from 8AM through 9:30AM so the group sizes will be "less than huge."

 

The pre-event celebration will occur in the woods at a fixed location(Near GCZDZJ) from 10:30AM-11:15AM

 

Coordinates of the caches will be placed on this post (and will be available at the event) if they are not posted to geocaching.com prior to the event.

Several items:

1: There is a pre-hike planned. the first groups will be leaving the pre-event location around 8AM. The specific information is listed in the forum along with the traditional pre-event "gathering" which is a holiday affair and separate from the posted event. See the forum at (visit link)

 

2: I will e-mail everyone that has registered the co-ordinates of the ten caches I am placing before the event. I think they sill be published before the event too.

 

3: Groups such as boy scouts feel free to attend the pre-event hike. We will have plenty of people to lead you and teach you GPS use.

 

4: IMPORTANT: the response to the event is overwhelming. We must be at the restaurant BEFORE noon so we can use all the tables. You will be likely be sitting with people you have not met before. If you see geocachers roaming around the restaurant, make room at your table or booth and ask them to sit with you!

 

5: the restaurant may not be able to sit everyone. I apologize if anyone does not get a seat.

Thanks Brian for all your hard work, it was "Maahvelous", how do you order up weather like that ? :D

 

I'm starting to think he has some pull with the big guy. He did the same thing for GONE, bringing us great weather despite the forecasts and went as far as having the thunderstorm wait until the movie ended.

If you are going to Aruba sometime, let me know if you need good weather!

The weather there certainly would spoil Caching Through the Snow.
