+Pobre Rico Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I thought it might be fun to put together a family-friendly geocaching event up in the Mt. Hood neighborhood. Anybody interested? I'm thinkin' of a Saturday/Sunday in August. Maybe a few activities for day trippers and some for overnighters. If I get enough interest I promise to make it worth your time! Let me know.

+GeoNap Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I would be interested. I love the Mt. Hood area, especially if it involves geocaching and camping! Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I love that area. Explored it when I lived in Vancouver one summer for the Squawfish Sport Reward tech job in 1996. Did a couple great hikes down there...Burnt Lake and Yocum Ridge. My website, www.evergreenhiker.net, has details in the mt. hood hiking section. Anyrate, August is down the road a bit, but I might be interested pending timing of the event. Quote Link to comment
+bazzle Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Sounds good to me. I usually head south to Arizona in August but if I am around when this happens I would be up for it. My mind not only wanders... Sometimes it leaves completely... **Namaste** Quote Link to comment
+dasein Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Sounds like a great idea, tell us more! Doug and I are in the beginnings of planning a caching/camping trip to the Ochocos sometime in August, we just won't know which dates for a little while yet. There are several Mt. Hood area caches we haven't gotten to yet. August would be a great time to do this--a bit cooler at that elevation, and a great camping opportunity! --laurak Temporarily French Polynesia's most prolific geocachers! Quote Link to comment
+pdxrose Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 It sounds like fun. I might be able to make. Quote Link to comment
+Team JOYSON Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 It sounds like a great idea, however Joy & I are almost completely booked through September. Depending on how the schedule plays out, we'll do our best to make it. "And then Trogdor smote the Kerrek, and all was laid to burnination." Quote Link to comment

+dasein Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Our Ochocos camping/caching trip is set for August 14-17. If you pick a weekend other than that one, we'd likely come up for the day. Also, consider the 'Trading Caches' cache event here in the PDX area on August 9th. If you had The Mt. Hood thing on that day, fewer PDX folks would make it out.

+misguided one Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 The Misguideds would like to attend, but we're not available until the end of August. Please keep us posted. ___________________________________________ Cum catapultae proscriptae erat, tum soli proscript catapultas habeunt. Quote Link to comment
+Pobre Rico Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 I'm still hoping to put something together up at the Hood, but I've been switched to night shift and working 6 days a week. Makes it hard to put this together. I'll know for sure in the next week or two if I can pull it off. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment

Even September works. Days might be a bit shorter, but no bugs or few anyway. Quote Link to comment
+Pobre Rico Posted August 2, 2003 Author Share Posted August 2, 2003 Well, the boss man is doing everything he can to screw up my plans. Now it's back to working days, 6 days a week, 12 hours a day... Sorry to say, it looks like this isn't going to happen this year. But, it's going to be a definite thing next year! Here's the agenda for next year. At least 15 brand new caches within 10 miles of the event site. Some will be permanent, others just for the event. A team event or two. Stuff for the kids. And an all-around good time. Any suggestions on a site? I've been kinda looking around up at the mountain for a nice campground that is in an area with good GPS reception and a layout that works good for a group event. Any suggestions for location, events, or anything else let me know... [This message was edited by Pobre Rico on August 02, 2003 at 09:53 PM.] Quote Link to comment
