+GeoGunslinger Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Greetings all! A friend and I have been kicking around an idea for a Geo-event in our Fair city and I thought I'd see what kind of interest I could generate for it in the forums here. If enough people were interested, We'd consider hosting the event. I've been thinking about a poker-run / Ralley type of event. Here's my ideas: 1. We could possibly hold it at a local resturaunt. (we have two fine Mexican ones here in town or we could go for a fast food establishement of which we have 2 of as well) 2. A Poker-run, There are many caches around town that we could set a time limit on and see who can hit the most in a specified period of time. The most caches hit would win a small prize. 3. A Trash-out rally where the most trash brought in (by weight or by item say the most glass, paper or aluminum would win a small prize) 4. A furthest traveled prize for the Geo-cacher who travels the greatest distance to attend. 5. I think I could generate some interest in the local newspaper to cover the event, and maybe even get the local Chamber of commerce to subsidize. (maybe) I know there are a lot of folks who come here on the weekends to off-road and such and many geocache too. We are cosidering Memorial day weekend as a potential event date because it is usually a very good travel weekend for a lot of cachers. Let me know what you think! We're game to help set it up. We are open for other suggestions and ideas too. Lastly, We are in no way interested in profiting from this at all, just a way to meet some fellow geocachers and have some fun. If interested reply here or contact Desert Big foot directly via E-mail: res1gdea@verizon.net and if there appears to be enough interest. I'll post an event on the geocache website. Regards, Desert Big Foot & Friends Quote Link to comment
mikeh420 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Sounds like fun. I was just out there last weekend to place a cache,(GCJ121) and score some finds. Lots of places to hide things, and occasionally a jet from "ED" will buzz on by. I think I might have been at your cache as you were leaving(?). Cal City here we come! Quote Link to comment
+GeoGunslinger Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 It could have been.Which cache did you see me at? What color was the vehicle? Quote Link to comment
mikeh420 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I think it was at Steve's Desert Gold, it was a black pickup, maybe a Toyota. I have a green Explorer, and I was at the cache as the pickup was driving away. Quote Link to comment

+biggeeks Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 GBES Navigational Rally Now I know this isn't exactly CLOSE to CA city, but I think it's what you had in mind. A high desert navigational 'poker-run' style race. If I had the weekend of the event off, I would be there. In 'beautiful' Fallon, NV. Quote Link to comment
