+retphoto Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I'm talking to a few people about organizing a Fall CITO camping event Tent camping, friday and saturday evenings(checking to see if fires will be permited). I would put out 1/2 dozen caches just for this event, plus a bonus for most trash collected. May even have a water cache for those who have canoes and kayaks. camp site would be at Central PA location(with-in 15 miles of me ) I want to see who would be interested, and the best weekend(thinking October) thanks Robert Quote Link to comment
+mtndave Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Campin' & Cachin' You must be reading my mind. Oct. is currently pretty open except for one long weekend trip to Pine Creek/Grand Canyon. Not sure yet what weekend that will be. As you know I graduatted from tents. Would my little "rig" be acceptable? Keep me posted on developments. MtnDave Quote Link to comment
magellan315 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I would say go ahead and plan it. Once you get it listed on the GC website you should be able to gauge a response based on notes posted. Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I could probably come up with a small prize for the cacher who travels the longest distance to get to the event. (nothing big, maybe say a fully stocked ammo can, ready to hide) Pick a date soon, I'll need a little time to make sure I don't have to work that weekend. Quote Link to comment
+Got GPS Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Sounds good to us, just give a few weeks notice, so I can get the time off from work. Quote Link to comment
+retphoto Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 Ok folks.....here's a rough Weekend of October 16th, with camping for Saturday Night(pending submission of paperwork) Milton state park. I have to submit a written proposal for the CITO, with overnight camping, number of people expected, previous CITO's and General Clean up proposal.(expect to have this done early next week) I will place a few caches JUST for this event, along with ONE water cache! I've been informed that pop-ups will be ok if the whole proposal is accepted. based on past CITO's I've attended I think 1 -2 dozen folks attending... Hey IV, can I get some help from you on the written Proposal? Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 A cool idea, and both Leps might attend if our schedules permit. That's my old stomping grounds as a graduate of Bucknell. No place is prettier during fall colors. Possible competing events include a campout in Allegheny National Forest being discussed by NEOGeo and NWPA Geocachers, and a return to the beach party, after Polgara's successful summer event there. But to my knowledge, neither of these has an announced date yet. Quote Link to comment
+retphoto Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 OK....Final paperwork is now being processed, and things are looking good so far. Dave's Rig is OK'ed, and there will be no fires , One last thing.... since this is the FIRST one, The number of people who can attend is being restricted, 20-25 people can attend this first one. So Please get you name in so I can put on my reservation list.... Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Just to clarify... the restriction on the number of people who can attend is related just to the camping, right? Surely the park wouldn't wish to restrict the number of people who attend the event during the day to pick up trash? Quote Link to comment
+retphoto Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 that is the way I'm handling it....but I expect it to be one and the same. Quote Link to comment
+Pyewacket Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I was going to try and make a trip that way in October, but with my husband's work and school schedule, it doesn't look likely. It's just too far to drive by myself, energy wise. Looks as if I'll miss the autumn leaves yet another year. And I miss camping...it's been soooo long. I hope you peeps have a blast, though.

It should end up back in it's home this weekend. I have HOT Dogs, Burgers, Coleman camp stove(could use a frypan) , extra tent, sleeping bags, Lots and Lots of rubber gloves, and trash bags for the CITO There are even a few prizes, not sure how they will be given out, but do have prizes Hope to see you bright shiney faces tomorrow...and please bring the sun!!!
