+MattandLaura Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 I'm excited for next weekend and just got done getting my camping stuff out. I am planning on bringing some Kevlar coated gloves and wanted to know how many to bring. Quote Link to comment
+Maps-R-Us Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Glad you are looking forward to it! Have you thought about the cache placement for your team? Any ideas for a theme, location, etc.? Don't mean to pressure you at all but just want to get others excited enough to come! As for gloves I know Oregone is bringing extra! I'll need large ones, myself. Quote Link to comment

+Maps-R-Us Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 That's right, fractal! By the way, how many folks are crashing in the Yurt with you? And where did you get the screaming head picture?! [This message was edited by Maps-R-Us on May 25, 2002 at 11:18 PM.] Quote Link to comment

+MattandLaura Posted May 25, 2002 Author Share Posted May 25, 2002 I have been giving some thought about it. I will be out there Friday to scout the area for placement. I do have one question. Do I need to bring a container for the cache? As far as a them goes I will post another topic to get ideas from my teammates. quote:Originally posted by Maps-R-Us: Glad you are looking forward to it!

+oregone Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 as with most things in my life, i probably won't start setting any concrete plans for this until the night before. but i am bringing 10 pairs of leather gloves, two full cases of OPA (or something similar, depending what's available at the dock), and maybe a coffee grinder. i'll also have a tent for lauren and me if anyone wants to let us camp out at their site. If not, we may just sleep in the boat. at any rate, it would be kind of fun to know what kind of food people are bringing. I keep thinking about that one episode of northern exposure where everyone brought lasagne for some reason. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
soup Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Firewood.. Check. Gloves.. Check. Random Food item.. check. As for the group cache placement, I ran into trouble with my original container (too long to explain here). Good thing I have a backup! Whew. I am almost finished with my other group cache "THE APPARATUS". Just have to connect a couple rats to the nerve generators and... Ahh... Nevermind. Its as BAD as you think, and they ARE out to get you.. Quote Link to comment

+pdxmarathonman Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 I voted for small gloves for my daughter, but couldn't place the additional votes for my mom (medium) and myself (large). Thanks for thinking of us! Quote Link to comment

The east end of the park (Matt's side) should have more stashing locations than the west end (Soup's side). The park staff was concerned that no digging would take place. I assured them that buried caches are not a part of our plan, just tastefully hidden. Skooter Quote Link to comment
Syn Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I talked my bro into letting me use his gps for another week or so. Since I did my raid on Salem yesterday. I am now at 95 finds. I am slowing down my geocaching for the next week as I have a ton of stuff to do at home. So I will be finding 4 more cache's during the next week so I can join the century club at Champoeg state park. I was working on having some jello wrestling with the swedish bikini team but I decided that jello is too fattening and nobody would like it. So I guess I will just bring myself... Does anyone know if they allow pets at this park...I would love to bring Bailey the Geopooch Quote Link to comment
+Lone Ranger & Tonto Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Who needs a painted rock for a cache? I'll bring sone, if I can get an idea of size. We plan to be there by noon Saturday. Don't know about Hillwilly and Di right now, we seen to keep missing each other. How do you make or need camping reservations for Saturday night? Tonto Quote Link to comment

+slinger91 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Hope it's not too late to say I'm coming. I wasn't sure if i'd be able to make it so I stayed off this forum topic. And I also just got back from Reno. If any one needs anything just let me know. Quote Link to comment

It may be too late to get a campsite but the event is open to all who are willing to help with either the ivy pulling project or some other way contribute to the event. We need everyone to bring food to share, whatever you want to bring- one dish, two, three, whatever. Bring your own beverages of choice and bring cache materials to include in the caches we will be placing to commemorate the event. Also bring your favorite cache stories to share, any Travel Bugs you want to pass off, photos, etc. If someone wants to bring a barbecue for everyone to use, that would be great! Want to help with a treasure hunt for kids? Not sure how many kids will be there but if we have some, that would be fun, too. SO, the more the merrier and lets hope for sunshine.

+misguided one Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 We should have room at our campsite for one extra tent to be set up (as long as you dont mind a 5 year old running around). We are planning on being there Fri. afternoon/evening. Quote Link to comment
+MattandLaura Posted May 29, 2002 Author Share Posted May 29, 2002 Just got done creating my masterpiece of a container. I would like each of my team members to bring some items to put into it. I would like items that most represent Geocaching to you. The container is about the size of a coffee can. Quote Link to comment
soup Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Like M&L said.. I too have a masterpiece ready for some cachin action. It is of similar size to M&L's, but I imagine we have camoflauged it differently. Howz about my team of cachers bringing things (strange, weird, fun) they think the other team might a get a chuckle. Its as BAD as you think, and they ARE out to get you.. Quote Link to comment
+Maps-R-Us Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Thanks for taking the lead on the cache hiding. Hopefully the park is big enough for two good hiding spots and the cache containers big enough for what everyone brings to put in them! If we have extra stuff we can make "Child of the Rendezvous" caches to go elsewhere! We are going to have a cache log for the event so bring cards, stamps, etc. for that as well. Looking forward to working with you on all this! Quote Link to comment
+The GeoGadgets Team Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 I know you are all out there having tons of fun, and you probably don't or won't care that those of us too far away and couldn't make it are curious... but we are! Post (fractal?) and let us know how things are going/progressing/panning out... keep us up-to-date. Enjoy yourselves!

+pdxmarathonman Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Some of the crowd is still out there having fun. I didn't get to camp-out, but I can't wait to hear the stories about what happens when the sun goes down.... My kids, my mom and I all had a great time meeting everyone - even Tonto and Lone Ranger made it from K-Falls and the Misguided-ones from up north in Auburn. I thought maybe we'd go to the park, pull a little ivy, have lunch and leave - 2-3 hours max. We were there wayyyyy past nap time and left after about 7 hours of chatting, cache making and hunting and generally having a good time. Keep checking the cache page as those who camped out start to log their visits. Can't wait to hear about Soup's Apparatus cache! Quote Link to comment
