Wow, the map already has more cachers on it than last year.

It is up to date as of 21:00 15sep03

Fathergoose, Andrewfox is looking forward to seeing you again.

We're in A47. Posted it first on the forums on pdxgeocaching.com. Didn't see any others on those forums that weren't reported here.

September 15, 2003

You're in there!!

I hope Fathergoose will let us pitch our tent next to his camp-trailer.

When I made the reservations I was betting we would have some company so I added a few people to my total number of occupants.

Updated - 5 sites left as 22:35 15sep03

That's "A" loop....plenty of sites left in other areas of the park, even cabins.

September 15, 2003

Doug and I just reserved space A29 for Friday and Saturday. We've not planned even our most extravagant vacation this far in advance! What else can it mean--fractal and Soup rock!

September 15, 2003

Who's organizing it this year? I know that Maps-r-us don't/doesn't have to do it, and i know that fractal and soup are exempt, so who does that leave? Is it too late to claim 'not-it?' Because if it isn't, and i have to do it, then you better have the underlings in bed by 10pm. You know, because i like strippers. A lot.

Anyway, we really have it scheduled for 'state parks day' this time, so that means that camping is free (barring yurts and cabins). Since it is said holiday, maybe we should consider reserving that picnic site that we've been lucky enough to get the last two years running.

I wonder what yurtville will be like this time... Considering the exponential extravegance through the last two years, i'll be surprised if no one dies next june.

We're not it! Assisting with the 2003 Halloween event exempts us, doesn't it?

September 16, 2003

Put us in for A18. Were from Nevada so maybe we could help Oregone out with some of his ideas.

The map is up to date.

Sites still available:

On the upper half of "A" loop

A1, A3, A27

On the lower half of "A" loop

Wide open (except A18)

We'll have space for a tent if anyone needs a space in the upper loop. Just let us know so we can add to the number of people on our reservation.

September 16, 2003

We just reserved space A27. Hopefully, my girls (age 4 and 2) will do the camping thing ok. Last time we tried before the youngest was born, my husband spent the night in the truck with a crying two year old. I swore we wouldn't camp again til they were 20.

September 16, 2003

Updated!

Your girls will be in good company, there will be several young kids there. We have 3:

Samantha 7

Andrew 5 (aka Andrewfox)

Maddie 4

I've been wanting to visit family and friends up there for a while, and this sounds like as good a time as any. I've got space A8 and I look forward to meeting all of you.

September 16, 2003

Wow! Washington, Oregon, and now California...

It's a west coast geo-gathering!

I suppose we can try and take over the rest of the park too... Where are those Idaho cachers?

And I am also on the 'not-it' list

But.. I do think we should have some sort of a schedule (and actually try to stick to it this time).

As usual, we can start with ivy pulling:

10am - Noon * Ivy pulling

Next we can have a big pot-luck lunch:

Noon - 1:30pm * FOOD

From 1:30 - whenever, we can have a few events, one of which I hope will be a fractalSoup event. We've learned from last year, and will try to keep the event to about 1 hour.

The kids scavanger hunt was cool (and enjoyed by many), but since the schedule was messed up, it sort of got squeezed in. Let's make sure it happens on time this year.

In the evening, I know Soup will unleash the latest installment of THE APPARATUS. That will probably be around 8-ish.

Thoughts, ideas? Should we elect a timekeeper? (Not it!)

Sorry bur i am brand new to this geocaching. Could you explain this event me. Wher it is when etc. Tent camping available? soundsvery interesting. thank you KAYAK PHOTOG Olympia, Wa

And don't forget the biggest kid of all -- oregone -- will be there.

September 16, 2003

We OWN Champoeg!!11! I am thinking, with the high percentage geocachers, that something even more extraordinary can occure next event. >insert maniacal laugh<

Anyway, its not too bad scheduling the event, as I still have most of the numbers needed to call. I was just a little overwhelmed with the Redux, The Apparatus, and Broken Arrow.

Next year: a fractalSoup event, and part 3 of the Apparatus event should keep me very busy.

Who ever wants to organize next year, just give me an email. Its really easy (the email, not the organization) heh.

September 16, 2003

Updated!!

Let's not forget about NEVADA. Quite the representation we've got going here.

Oh boy -- it took me a while to get over some of those log entries. Those events were great fun! It sort of makes me want to do it this year . . oh . . wait . . .

September 16, 2003

I third it

After looking at the map, maybe we have enough people to run through the campground like an angry mob, wielding torches and pitchforks. Of course oregone's idea is good too. Almost was there last time.

Note to self, bring more tequila.

That doesn't smell like mud Chucko

Bodoni beat me to the punch on this one, but i feel that i should expand on the notion and let you all know that i am--quite possibly--the best temporary babysitter i know. How else are your children going to learn that hairspray is flammable? Or that things you find on the ground should immediately be put in your mouth? And seriously, where would your children be today if i wasn't there teaching them how to spot fake boobs?

Anyway, the only thing you need to do to 'plan' champoeg is call ranger mike and tell him we're pulling ivy, right? Everything else will just fall into place like so many domesticated-yet-newly-cautious squirrels, i think.

We promise to pick up some more from Mexico to replace what Misguided One drank.

September 16, 2003

Ok.. So we have a pot-luck lunch on Saturday.. That's good.

How about a pot-luck style hangover brunch on Sunday?

Of course... I'm really hungry for eggs right now, so that might be influencing my suggestion. mmmm.. and bloody marys... and mimosas...

Or maybe some sort of a cook-off competition... Iron Chef style?

Off to the kitchen for a late night snack!

I am SO there, as long as the 'theme ingredient' is chosen by whomever is organizing this event, and in order to find said ingredient you have to run out--using your gps, of course--to kitty's grave to retrieve it.

I hope the theme ingredient is salmon, because i think i need a quick trip to the kitchen as well. or sausage. i like sausage.

September 16, 2003

we'll make it this year....guess I better hurry and reserve a spot. BTW there will be a 5, 1 and 13 year with us.

There was a young woman named Bright

Whose speed was much faster than light.

She set out one day

In a relative way,

And returned on the previous night.

How about bacon? Mmm, bacon. Bacon makes everything better! Then add some cheese.

Fractal and others in need of a late-night egg fix,

for a quick mess of scrambled eggs, I always have a carton of 'Egg Beaters' in the fridge. (I prefer southwest 'flavor'; they also have 'garden vegetable' now.) No breaking eggs--just pour, scramble and enjoy. That is if you like the taste of 'fake eggs.' My favorite is to add petite green peas, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese and some Tabasco. Dang, that's sounding good!

Now back to the real topic: Champoeg 2004...

September 17, 2003

Yes, yes, yes, yes, Kim, Kim, Kim, Kim. She could give us all swimming lessons I think I read somewhere that she is pretty good at it. We second Oregone's nomination for Kim to be in charge. I think fractal knows how to find her.

I've gone to look for myself, if I should return before I get back, please keep me here.

September 17, 2003

I'll start saving now so I can provide some liquid refreshment this time. Sassquatch has expensive taste. I'm also working on a new way to light up a yurt without causing spontanious combustion.

Well, that would rule out all of my ideas. I was thinking of some sort of FLAMING YURTCANO!!! Hmmm. where is Trogdor?

Oh, Kim, contact me for necessary info.

What's the difference between roast beef and pea soup? Anyone can roast beef.

I love the idea of a potluck hangover breakfast as long as it's not too early.

As far as the Iron Chef competition, sounds interesting and scary.

I have got a well aged bottle of single malt scotch that has been just waiting for the right party

Also I think there may be a bit of a mystery to be solved. Keep an eye out for details as we get closer...

Single malt? Very, very tempting, on top of an already tempting event...

I might be able to sell leonata on it, but we'll have to see. 'Course, you all have already grabbed all of the yurts, so that will hurt my chances of convincing her...

You could always go for a cabin. Of course that is a bit of a stagger from yurtville

It looks like the camp hosts in A46 and A48 are going to be seriously outnumbered. We should warn them to leave town.

"It's late and we should be quiet? Everybody's here but you. Have a drink!"
