+SixDogTeam Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Looks like there will be 4 of the ISQ teams down in Madison this weekend. So when are we going to have a recruting event? I think a nice fall day over at Salomonie State Forrest would work. Anyone have an idea where we could do an event? Maybe big pot of soup or chili and give a presentation on the ISQ series, place a few caches, meet and greet sort of thing. Just a thought. I think it's a good thought. You did a terrific job or organizing the spring picnic, so I nominate you to spearhead this project. Salamonie State Forest is a great spot-we could hold it in the CCC shelter at Harmonie Ridge --Do waterfall caches--I have a new one placed there, about three weeks ago, but I haven't listed it yet.--or better yet, how about under the willow in our front yard? Plenty of parking, and lots of ISQ's in the area...BTW,, We saw our first, I think, Indiana Non-ISQ cemetery cache page that featured a photograph the other day... Quote Link to comment
+Wishbone86 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I was thinking about heading down to the Salamonie area on Saturday. I could spend all day there looking for caches and still not find them all. I'd think it'd take a couple all day trips to get them all. But, I think I'll be going down to Muncie for the BSU football game instead. I might pick up a couple caches that are near the campus before the game. One another note. I did hide my first cache today near an old iron bridge here in Miami County. I just need to do the write up though. It might be a few more days until I'll be able to get that done.

hide & seekers Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Can anyone recommend some caches in/near Turkey Run SP? Planning on heading that way this weekend. (yeah, another vacation!). I see there's one called Turkey Run Stash. Any others in the park? We might have to check out some of the covered bridge ones too. Years ago the reluctant hubby (then the exciting boyfriend!) and I camped there over a very warm Thanksgiving weekend. We spent a day driving around, finding the covered bridges. We had a really bad map so it was a pleasant surprise each and everytime we finally found one. I think we had more fun than if we actually had the good map! Kinda like finding the cache with no description, no directions. Quote Link to comment

+Team Shydog Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Ok, Just testing the waters to see if any Northern Indiana cachers would like to jump on the bandwagon to help put on the Spring 2006 gathering. I know the Fall picnic is tough to beat, They have a great planning team, but I do have some ideas about an event and place. If anyone is interested please feel free to contact me through my GC account. If there is another group already planning something, please let me know, I like attending as well as planning these things. Chris-Team Shydog Valerie is going to kick my butt for doing this again Quote Link to comment

After all, we're talking about events that are a whole year off. I recommend flipping a coin (Geocoin?) and the loser has to move their event by a weekend or two. Or perhaps we could have a nice, friendly geocaching contest event. Just my two cents here. Quote Link to comment
+SherwoodForest Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 well, as someone who has had to gently nudge event planners three times this year because of attempts to overlap scheduled events.... Western PA originally had an event scheduled the same weekend as the Midwest GeoBash (a gentle coaxing convinced them to move it back a week) North Central Ohio and Erie both were talking about scheduling events on October 1st (putting those of us smack in the middle in a dilemma, fortunately, the events are now Oct 1 and Oct 8 so everyone can attend both... And, Erie scheduled their 1000aire BBQ on the Sunday of the NEOGeo Campout -- but we packed up fairly early on Sunday and were able (if rushed) to head out and still manage to attend.... so yeah, they may be a year off, and maybe your State Park in Indiana is far enough away from Cleveland to not really be a problem, but it still limits the opportunites for everyone to schedule two big events at the same time... But you are right, some will like the laid-back campout Indiana event, some will like the challenge of the Grand Caching Adventure in Cleveland (some of us like both types of events and would like to attend both if possible). Oh well, maybe in 2007... Quote Link to comment

+RPW Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 1) Chris, in regards to the InGeo Spring 2006 picnic you may want to start up a different forum topic. I suspect that (gasp!) a lot of people do not regularly read this one. Also this topic has so many different threads in it that it can lose focus. Thus you might get more response by an indivudual topic. P.S. Yes, Valerie is going to kill you. :-) 2) In regards to "big events" on the same weekend. Unless they are really close together (about 100 miles) I do not see much of a gain by offsetting them by only one week. Most people are going to have to choose between the two events in any case. In other words there is not much difference between a choice between event "X" and event "Y" that occur on the same weekend versus a choice between "X" and "Y" on offset weekends. While I would love to spend every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at a geocaching event, my work and spouse says otherwise, and thus I (and probably others) get to choose only one. Quote Link to comment

While Geocaching events are fun, I also like the thrill of geocaching itself. Sometimes I want to get in some of those 20+ cache days without having to expend precious vacation days. I will admit that last weekend had both elements (22 caches on Friday, big event on Saturday). Quote Link to comment

+Bjorn74 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If anyone has an MG, I'm sure you'd be welcome to join the Hoosier MGs do some geocaching from Bloomington to French Lick and then back to Nashville the first weekend in October. Girlgeek and I may borrow one to join in the fun. It's not going to be a fast paced jaunt (they are MGs, after all) but we expect it to be some fun. Hoosier MG Club Treasure Hunt BTW, I'm not in the club (yet) or running the event, but they're looking for new members and the people running the event haven't said anything to anyone in Geocaching yet.
