The Artful Dodger Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Looks like a fun time for those who go. Its being held this year at Killington in Vermont. I went last year and, although I didnt win anything, it still was a lot of fun! GPS GoldRush Quote Link to comment
+CT Trampers Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Sounds like it will be a blast! We will be there. Just missed the one held at Mohawk Mountain last year. My wife and I learned about Geocaching after stumbling upon one at the summit of Bear Mt., Ct. It was our wedding day, Oct. 12th, (we were married at the summit) and we've been Geocaching ever since. Looking forward to meeting some of you up there. Quote Link to comment

+Ramness Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Now why is it when I read "2002 GPS GoldRush" I pictured this? owned by "Xorro" of the XOC Quote Link to comment
+Ttepee Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I would love to make it this year but who knows. I was signed up last year but then ended up I had bronchitis the weekend of the goldrush. Crusso... my son and I would love another member on our team if we are able to plan for it... can't give a definite on that yet though... let you know when I do. Quote Link to comment
+DxChallenged Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Hey! Looks way interesting to me! Right now I'm just trying to get threw this month and back to reality since vacation............ But looks like something I'de really like to do with the family Dx "Have you no news on your travels?" the Book of fairy & folk tales of Ireland (1888) Quote Link to comment
+rdw Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 I see there is a Gold Rush East and West, but nothing for those of us in the great middle. They should have one in southern Illinois. Markwell could come down from the north and Clayjar up from the south. All of the St. Louis area cachers, maybe some from Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennesse(sp?). What a great idea, huh? I'm not holding my breath though. Have fun for me because I won't be in Vermont. rdw Quote Link to comment

+gnbrotz Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 OK folks, the time is drawing closer. So who's going to be there? Will I have all the prizes to myself?? My wife (PioneerGal) and rediguana are making the trip with me. Greg N 39° 54.705' W 77° 33.137' Quote Link to comment
+Wander Lost Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Looks fun but too far away. I've been following the page for info on a west coast event and the info keeps changing. Anyone (BigKid?) out there know any details about a west coast Gold Rush? If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people?? Quote Link to comment

NetDep Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Just checked with mapquest and it is over a thousand miles from home (Orlando), my question is what is the best airport to fly into - the closest/largest that would have reliable commercial service? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment

GeoStars Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Southern Illinois would make a good location. How far are these things planned in advance? It's too late for us to make arrangements for this year's East Coast event but if it's an annual thing, we would consider next year. Looks like fun!

Thanks!! The largest in the area would probably be either Boston (Logan), Hartford (Bradley), or Burlington, VT. My choice would be Burlington (shortest drive). If possible, see if you can get to Rutland State Airport (Rutland, VT). It's only about 20 minutes from Killington. Good luck! If you have any specific questions just email me. Quote Link to comment
+gnbrotz Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 The closest camping to Killington is at Gifford Woods State Park. Only $13.00/night. It's fairly small in size, so don't delay if you think this is the way to go! Greg N 39° 54.705' W 77° 33.137' Quote Link to comment
