+ottieolsen Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just doing a little advertising. A group of cachers from Kansas will be hosting a hopefully large event by Mingo on Sunday May 3rd for geocaching's 15th birthday. http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCQRXE_gcqrxe-mingo-happy-15th-birthday-to-geocaching Quote Link to comment

We worked with the local farmers and the coop across the street. Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 A little history of the 2012 Mingo fiasco when somebody filled the hole in with cement: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=292166 My video version of that event: Quote Link to comment
+K13 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 That spot iis only breathtaking if there is a hog farm or dairy near by. Quote Link to comment
+SwineFlew Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Its not a geocache... its throwdown when you cant find it. Quote Link to comment
Mr.Yuck Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I knew this would go all wrong. Best to wait for the 15th anniversary of Beverly instead. Quote Link to comment
+ottieolsen Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I knew this would go all wrong. Best to wait for the 15th anniversary of Beverly instead. I think people are getting the wrong impression. Its for geocaching's birthday, not Mingo's Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yes, let's focus on the positive aspects of having an event and celebrating a 15th birthday. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Andronicus Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Quick question. Where are people going to gather. How many cachers can the location support? It seems that the location may be a bit akward for a large gathering. Edited February 5, 2015 by Andronicus Quote Link to comment

Mr.Yuck Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Yes, let's focus on the positive aspects of having an event and celebrating a 15th birthday. Thanks! OK, I believe 15 years! Events with a souvenir would be a big hit. We could run the numbers, and I'll bet the numbers would show well over half of accounts were created after May 3rd, 2010, and those people never got a chance to attend a celebratory event, and receive a coveted souvie.
