RCosgrove Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 Interested in joining a club near Memphis. Anyone around here? Must be - there are a number of caches. EMail, please! The Cosgroves (Rossville) robNOSPAM@alice.net (remove NOSPAM to email) Quote Link to comment
+bitbrain Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 There are a large number of GeoCachers in the MidSouth area. This may be a good time for us to get together and meet the "other fools" who like to go searching in the woods. A partial listing of GeoCachers who have been active in the area in the past year or so is: Bitbrain * Goldberry * RCosgrove * Sonoma * Salvo * JamieZ * Geekboy * Sivad * MarkJ * Jentilla * Take A Hike * Pbaskind * Southpaw * Mustard Devil * Jim Carroll * Boatis * Feros Family * Imogene * 4musketters * K9-8 & cateyes * Worldtraveler * Cheesegang * Twodogcrew * Tprescott * Scully * Bigethespe * Tafische * Adfischer * Snoburd * Rxprt88 * Movinfr8 * Geonecht * Twreb * Whitedogpack * Centurion * N22T * Mutt Explorers * Wskitche * Quercus * Hannah's parents * 3 Monkeys * many others... If you know any of these folks, let them know we may be trying to put together a Picnic-type gathering soon. We'll probably attempt to send out an e-mail/invitation sort of thing as well. Your comments & suggestions are welcomed. Quote Link to comment
Sonoma Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 That is my daugter and I. The doctor thinks it's poison ivy. Just an odd place for it... Quote Link to comment

+worldtraveler Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 In the Memphis area this week, but out to Seattle next week and off to Russia for 3 weeks after that. Won't have email access in Russia. Worldtraveler Quote Link to comment
Salvo Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Count us in. There will be @12 of us -if we all can make it (older kids work, and the mid-younger ones do a lot of church work). I think I remember seeing the necessary setups for a picnic day at the lake just east and south of the main parking lot on the point. Gil could you verify that on your upcoming visit to Lake Parson's? Quote Link to comment

+bitbrain Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Herb Parson's Lake looks like a good spot. Lots of open spaces, picnic tables, grills, trails, one active cache & another that's waiting to be archived. I'm toying with the idea of placing a few micros out there -- all within a mile hike of the picnic area -- and not giving out the coordinates until the gathering. Any suggestions for a date? Once we have that, I think we can start contacting people & letting them know what we're planning. -Gil Quote Link to comment
RCosgrove Posted June 24, 2002 Author Share Posted June 24, 2002 Herb Parsons Lake is a great meeting place. Let's coordinate a hunt- something interesting besides standard single caches. A REALLY hard one would be good, and a bunch of micros, and some that kids can find without a GPS by following clues on a treasure map. Just some ideas. Looks like this is going to come off, yes? Do you think we should nominate someone to handle communications, activities, and logistics - three people perhaps? I'll do any of those. The Cosgroves Rossville, Tennessee USA Quote Link to comment
+bitbrain Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I nominate Rob for the Activities coordinator! Looks like you've got some good ideas for it. I'd like to handle communications if that's alright with y'all. I know my posts on my cache finds aren't nearly as detailed as JamieZ's, but... I'll go out to the lake this evening and talk to the folks who seem to run the place to make sure we won't be overstepping our bounds. If they're OK with it, I suppose we can move ahead with date selection and more detailed planning. As for logistics... Hmmm... Anybody want to jump in on that? Quote Link to comment

+bitbrain Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I enjoy reading your geocaching adventures, Jamie. Don't go changing. I should have more information from the folks at the lake today. I'll pass it along as soon as I get it. Quote Link to comment
+bitbrain Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 We are clear to proceed with our plans according to my conversation with the man (forgot to get his name) who runs the park. We can't 'reserve' tables or the pavilion -- they're on a first-come, first-served basis -- but I haven't seen them very crowded lately. When I mentioned placing caches around the trail, he just wanted to make sure I knew it was 8 miles around... :-) Quote Link to comment
