Riverwind Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Where is this in relation to Nashville? Just curious... Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 Cookeville is mid way (approx) between Knoxville and Nashville. Maxpedition Hard Use Nylon Gear Quote Link to comment
runner_one Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I would definitely be interested as I live near Cookeville, By the way Putnam county seems to be in dire need of a few more caches. Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 I'm still real new to this, so I dunno about the more caches. But I'm looking forward to meeting some others that like this stuff. It is a blast and very rewarding. Maxpedition Hard Use Nylon Gear Quote Link to comment
+Hillbilly Cacher Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I talked to sarkon today and he would like to join also. I am putting his not up becase he is not in the forums. If you have amy ideas about what we could do to get the club started, please chime in. Thanks Quote Link to comment
runner_one Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 My idea would be to place an event cache to be held somewhere in the upper Cumberland specifically to see if enough people express an interest in starting a club in this area. I can think of several good locations for such a meeting. There are several pavilions at Burgess falls Park that come to mind, as well as other parks in the area. Fall creek falls, Rock Island, Cumberland Mountain, Standing Stone. Even some of the smaller city parks have very nice pavilions. Or if you want air conditioning use one of the local community centers. Quote Link to comment
+Hillbilly Cacher Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 So for there is four for the group. I some you would like we could meet and talk about a club. After see the number of caches and cachers in the upper cumberland I thought that wa could get more. Quote Link to comment
Max Cacher Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Not everyone reads the forums but they do look at the caches closes to them. Find a place for a meeting ( a rain or shine type area ) like a shelter in a nice park. Proceed to make a cache page ( EVENT ) give enough notice ( post date the cache page ) at least three four weeks so everyone in the area can make plans to attend. You have to start somewhere .

+Hillbilly Cacher Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I say we set a date for Saturday August 23 at 12 Noon at Burgess Fall. I first thought about the 30, but that is Labor day weekend.

+Hillbilly Cacher Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I will go out to Burgess Fall this week and find place for it. I was think about putting a Cache in the park anyway. Any ideas were to meet if it rains? ______________________________________________________________ I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, when he said, "I drank what?"

Max Cacher Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Remember there is currently a moratorium on placing any new caches ( even a event )in state parks or on state property. Quote Link to comment
runner_one Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Tennessee Geocacher:Remember there is currently a moratorium on placing any new caches ( even a event )in state parks or on state property. I can understand the need for and agree with the moratorium on placing new caches in state parks until the current situation with the state parks service is resolved. However I am surprised that this applies to event caches also as I just attended one in a state park this week. I would like to submit my opinion that event caches are caches in name only and are no more against park rules or the spirit of the moratorium than a family reunion or a church picnic. Can you explain the reasoning behind including event caches in parks a little more? In no way do I want to start some kind of argument, just stating my $.02 worth and asking for a little more clarification. Even so there are many other places that a meeting can be held, Community centers, private or city parks as well as others. Just to throw in a suggestion or two Sparta has a very nice little park with a large pavilion down near the river. I have a micro hid in that park now. Then there is of course Hidden Hollow, which is a private park outside of Cookeville, but there is a small entry fee there. Also McMinnville has a nice city park, don’t know any details on that one. I'm sure there are others in the area. Anybody else want to chime in with a suggestion or two? Quote Link to comment

+wildhawk Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 This thread has caught my interest, this sounds like something I might like to join. The 6th is fine with me. Quote Link to comment
+Hillbilly Cacher Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Any of the location would be good with me. I did not know that we could not set an event, and was think of putting a virtual. I will hald off till TN parks says it is OK agien. I have one more please to that we can look at. Cane Creek Park is a city park in Cookeville that has three pavilions. Let me know were you think is the best place. ______________________________________________________________ I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, when he said, "I drank what?"

runner_one Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Well the interest seems to be here and the 6th is sounding good for everyone. Who wants to set the location? Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 Frankly, my desire is to make this the Upper Cumberland Geocaching Club, not the Cookeville Geocaching Club. What do you all think about meeting at Cumberland Mtn State Park in Crossville? I'll be up there all next week so I can get things lined out for the Virtual Cache event. If the major concensus of the group is Ckvl, that is fine also. I know that there are some people to the east of Crossville and I would like to do our level best to include them. Opinions?

I have no problem with the meeting being held in Crossville however according to this quote, quote:Originally posted by Tennessee Geocacher:Remember there is currently a moratorium on placing any new caches ( even a event )in state parks or on state property. we cant post it as and event cache if it's in a state park so some other arrangements must be made if we wish to post it as an event cache, which I think is necessary to get the word out. How about this, does anyone know of a location between Cookeville and Crossville. What about Monterey I believe there is a very nice city park there. Quote Link to comment
Max Cacher Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Here are three Cookville / Cane Creek Park Monterery / Whitaker Park Crossville / County Park GCG6D39 Quote Link to comment

runner_one Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Well I went by Whitaker Park in Monterey today, not a bad little park for a small town. It has two pavilions with two tables each. The east one has a nice B,B,Q grill that maybe we could grill some burgers and dogs on. The coordinates for the two pavilions are 36°08.600 X 85° 15.725 for the east one and 36°08.630 X 85° 15.777 for the west one. Quote Link to comment
+Hillbilly Cacher Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 I like the idea of doing some cooking. We can work out what and how amount later. First we need to reserve the location. Any numbers to call to reserve one of the pavilions? ______________________________________________________________ I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, when he said, "I drank what?"

runner_one Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I checked with the Monterey city hall and those shelters are first come first serve only, there are no reservations or fees required. So someone would need to arrive a little early to insure that would have the use of one of them. Quote Link to comment
+wildhawk Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Hello everyone, I have been following this thread and I haven't seen anything posted in the last couple of days, so I got to wondering what does everyone think now? Is the meeting still on for the 6th of September? It was sounding interesting to me. Quote Link to comment
+Hillbilly Cacher Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I have been out of town, but I was thinking I can get to the park about 10:00 that Morning. Do we need to start a new profile and call it the TN Upper Cumberland GeoCaching Club? Then make an event. ______________________________________________________________ I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, when he said, "I drank what?" Quote Link to comment

I was just about to post a question like Wildhawk when he beat me to it. By the way I have access to several webservers, I can set us up a web page for no cost other than the domain name I will check and see what domain names are avaiable that we can use.

If you can registar the domeain I can handle everything else including the DNS I have plenty of server room. When we decide on a name I can supply you the DNS numbers for the domain (private e-mail of course) that way it will be a true joint effort.
