+travisl Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 When should it be? If "either December 20 or December 27 work; January 3 doesn't", list it in the comments below. I can only give five choices. If any of these three dates work for you, don't vote If none of these work for you, well, See you in March. WWJD? JW RTFM. Quote Link to comment
+George501949 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I voted...... Lets have fun out there, we are. Quote Link to comment
+Sunnydae & Co Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Well... I didn't vote, since the date doesn't really matter to me because I work on Saturdays. So I'll have to miss half or more of it anyways. I'm not exactly sure how these things work, hour wise, but I'm usually done with work by 2:30-3 ish. And I can't wait to do this. I'm very excited for an Olympia Event, because I'm 15 minutes south. Sunnydae & Co Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I voted. Oly would be fun. Cheers! TL Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 any of those dates might work...too far down the road so I didn't vote. Count me in if I'm not working! Quote Link to comment
+CurmudgeonlyGal Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 We're good to go on any of them, but I think it should be the 20th just for a little organized mayhem to destress the holidays. (And oooh, the weather has been fabulous the past couple of years during any of the times you've suggested!) Quote Link to comment
KimAndMollie Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Can't wait, can't wait! And it will be much closer to home! We'll decorate the cachecruiser, and be there with lights on!! PS: I voted for the 20th! Real cachers don't smell like Fleecy. [This message was edited by cacherunner on October 03, 2003 at 06:59 AM.] Quote Link to comment
+Pepper Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Well darn I can't vote cause all the dates are fine with me. Just pick one and i'll be there! I like the lights idea hmmmm.... Pepper Horizontals where it's at! Quote Link to comment

+CachinCin Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I think that any of these dates work for me, although participating on the 20th depends on whether I've finished grading final projects and turned in semester grades. It will be a bit of a crunch, but a cache machine might motivate me to finish things. My husband, BlankJeff, won't know until the date approaches. He has lots of deadlines at work in December. I'm hoping to bring him along this time! Cin Quote Link to comment
+slinger91 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I'm only 45 min. from Oly, so it don't matta to me Quote Link to comment
+Solar Max Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Don't care really! Just hurry up and get here, whatever date it is! CACHE ON!!! FIND THEM ALL! The Cachecruiser: Perhaps a poll should be taken here. Do we: A) Decorate it here in Victoria Make it A Babaloo event, and everybody has a go at it? It will be sporting a 400 watt inverter, as it it did at Spokane, which can power quite a few Xmas lights, et al. About candy, we will again be bringing a few cases of chocolate bars, as we presume that this is now tradition. I will expect input by Dec. 15 on what kinds of bars to smuggle. EGH!, we hope you will be travelling with us again, as well as our Imperious leader, GrandpaRocks. I can't wait. Travis, I vote for this Sunday October 5. Why wait? How much intelligence does it take to sneak up on a piece of tupperware? Quote Link to comment

+GroundClutter Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Well, with any luck,(ie Jan 3rd) I'll be able to make this one! It's funny that hubby and I were driving right through the area about 2 weeks ago on our Pacific Coast highway tour. Hoping to find a caching buddy or two willing to share my car. I'm up for smuggling chocolate too. The big 'ol chocolate smear all around my lips might give me away at the border though. Ahh, but I've got connections. Oh, wait, that's for coming back into Canada.... "You are cleared for geocaching." Quote Link to comment

+PT & clan Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I guess I don't get to vote either cuz I work on saturdays also. What's wrong with a Sunday? I am also 15 minutes south of Oly and I really think this would be fun!! Quote Link to comment
+Kfam Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Not voting because any day is a good day to call in sick if it's for a cache machine. Looking forward to seeing you all there! Quote Link to comment

+travisl Posted October 5, 2003 Author Share Posted October 5, 2003 quote:What's wrong with a Sunday? As an almost-atheist, Sundays would be fine for me.

+bilbo19 Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 just my .02 cents worth but i think the 27th would be too much trouble with the holidays...I like the 20th to relax before christmas (yes this maddness is a form of relaxation) and the 3rd would be a good way to bring in the new year!!!

QUOTE] Sorry GC, I did not mean to upset you. Seriously, you are welcome to play chocolate Claus. Be informed that the 4 cases of bars that you will require are avavilable at lowest cost at the Real Canadian Wholesale Stores. This trip was going to be: one case Caramilk bars, one case Crunchie, On case assorted Rowntree Bars, and One case assorted Nestle Bars.

Thanks Travis for all the hard work you put into these events. Quote Link to comment

+Right Wing Wacko Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Speaking of old Bogus data, I'm having some difficulty getting a pocket query to convert to Streets and Trips format for this area.

Pepper http://www.geocachingwa.org Horizontals where it's at! Pepper it just depends on the work situation. December was very favourable for us, January is not so good. ( Income tax season begins here, and I have clients that want it complete by the 5th.) This does not mean I am ruling it out, however. It will take having other people here adjust THEIR schedules. That could be difficult, as most people I work for (clients) are VERY inflexible. I will begin working on them now, so that they are softened up. We will try our best, however. Never give up hope.
