+CachinCin Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Just a heads-up on the WSGA-Puget Sound Holiday Event. I was able to reach the person who reserved the room for us last year, and she helped me reserve the same place for this year. She works with the city of Issaquah, so we get the facility for free. A big shout-out to Andarose for doing this for us! The official cache page should be available in the next day or two. In the meantime, here's the date and time for you mark on your calendars: Saturday, Dec. 27th 6:30ish-7:30ish (I'll post official times soon) Issaquah Community Hall, 180 E Sunset Way We'll have a fun potluck, and a Bandana Quilt Raffle (bring a blanket to donate to a local shelter, and get a raffle ticket). If anyone has other suggestions for games, puzzles, or fun stuff to do, please post it here or send me some e-mail. In the next day or two, the cache event page should be submitted and approved. I'll post a link here. Cin Quote
+TotemLake Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Ecellent job CachinCin! Thanks for the perseverance! Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Cool! However 50/50 if I make it. depends on family stuff Quote
+CachinCin Posted December 10, 2003 Author Posted December 10, 2003 By the way....you don't have to be a WSGA member to attend this party (or any of the meetings, for that matter). Heck, you don't even need to be from the Puget Sound area. All cachers are welcome, kids included. Cin Quote
+CachinCin Posted December 10, 2003 Author Posted December 10, 2003 Once the cache has been officially approved, you should be able to view details here: Winter Holiday Party cin Quote
+Right Wing Wacko Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) Once the cache has been officially approved, you should be able to view details here: Winter Holiday Party cin It's up and I'll be there (lord willing and the creek don't rise)! Whoever posted it used 12/9 as the cache date. This will cause the event to age off the list fairly quickly. You might want to get that updated to the actual event date.

+CachinCin Posted December 10, 2003 Author Posted December 10, 2003 Good catch, Paul. I'll change that now (this is what happens when I create a cache page at midnight). Cin Quote
Moun10Bike Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Cool! Thanks for putting this all together, Cin! Quote
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Cache events are one of the more fun things we do. I hope a northwest cache campout can be put together for next summer. We live in southern oregon but we've been known to travel. Quote

We live in southern oregon but we've been known to travel. sounds like fun! I know that pobre rico tried to organize one down by Moutn Hood but work prevented it from happening. I'm game for Mt. Hood or wherever! Quote
+pdxmarathonman Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Lazyboy - are you the only Oregon Geocacher who isn't planning on the Champoeg get together? It's a state park and we help pull ivy or something similar. Check out the Champoeg 2004 Thread in these forums. Quote
soup Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 PDXMM is correct. Champoeg is going to be HUGE this year! The number of sub-events and activities that are planned will fill up an entire day. You can also check out the previous Champoeg 03 events for an idea of the goings on. This year, the number of geocaching campsites vs normal people campsites must be 5:1. It will truely be a spectacular event. Quote

It's a state park and we help pull ivy or something similar. Check out the Champoeg 2004 Thread in these forums. I haven't been around the forums much until recently. It looks like the campqoeg event is the first weekend in June. If there are sites left we'll go. Thanks. Quote
+Miss Goody Two Shoes Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 Gee whizzers! I thought this thread was about the Holiday Party! What's this talk about Champane? That does sound good! Well Fendweller and MGTS thought (well Fen thought!) We should team up together for a cache. Maybe we will make the party! Now wouldn't that be fun????? Be watching! Hugs and kisses! Love, MGTS XXOOXXOOXXOOXXOO Quote
+CachinCin Posted December 13, 2003 Author Posted December 13, 2003 Ms GTS, the party just wouldn't be the same without you! I hope you show up. Now, are you sure that Fen Dweller isn't just trying to trick you??? Some of the most dangerous predators disquise themselves to trick their prey..... Cin Quote
+CachinCin Posted December 13, 2003 Author Posted December 13, 2003 Here's a question for those who've lived here a bit longer than me. We're going to end up collecting quite a few blankets and coats at the party, for donating to a local charity. I have a few leads on charities and shelters (http://www.komotv.com/stories/28531.htm), but I don't know much about them. If anyone has a suggestion, or knows of a great group that would really make use of the blankets, please let me know. You can post it here or send me some e-mail. Cin Quote
+CachinCin Posted December 13, 2003 Author Posted December 13, 2003 I've had a couple of requests to bring back last year's White Elephant Gift Exchange. We all had a great time laughing over silly presents and trying to be the last one with the cool gifts. Adrian (Son of Seth!) was especially cute. If you're interested in participating, bring a wrapped gift ($10 or less, please) to the party. You can find out more on the WSGA's White Elephant Exchange! page. And, don't forget to read all about the party here: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...e6-2e772b34007c Cin Quote
+CachinCin Posted December 19, 2003 Author Posted December 19, 2003 (bump to the top) If you get a chance, head over to the cache page to RSVP Quote
lucyandrickie Posted December 21, 2003 Posted December 21, 2003 We were in Issaquah yesterday and scoped out the area. We will be there and there may be a late christmas present for those night-time cachers out there. Quote
+Pepper Posted December 21, 2003 Posted December 21, 2003 Holiday Event attendees I thought I'd let ya know you need to be ready to sign some blank Bandan Quilts I've made. This should be a good time for all. See y'all there. Pepper Quote
+CachinCin Posted December 26, 2003 Author Posted December 26, 2003 Bumping this one to the top.... WSGA-PS Winter Holiday Party Quote
+TotemLake Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 (edited) I guess I get to declare DNF the Event but FTA the location. I was so excited about meeting up with you guys again that I got there a day early! The cleaning crew had NO idea what I was talking about. Thinking I was at the wrong place, I dissected and divided the area into grids and started to look for the event. Failing that, I went to RS and used their computer to double-check and noted the error of my ways. Btw... the coordinates are dead-on. Edited December 27, 2003 by TotemLake Quote
+CachinCin Posted December 27, 2003 Author Posted December 27, 2003 T-L, that sounds like something I'd do! (okay, it is something I have done) You'll still be there tonight, right????? Cin Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 I should be able to make it tonigth. It will be great to see everyone! Quote
+TotemLake Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 T-L, that sounds like something I'd do! (okay, it is something I have done) You'll still be there tonight, right????? Cin Are you kidding me? You can believe I'll be there!!! LOL Quote
+TotemLake Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 That was a lot of fun last night! Sorry some of the regulars couldn't make it, but we did have a full house! It seems to me if I heard it right, we'll need a bigger place next time. Quote
