+Allanon Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Who else is going from the south end that might like to meet and cache our way to (and maybe from) the party this weekend? Carpooling anyone? Three days to set this up...I know we can do it. Quote Link to comment
+Blac Raven Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Sure what time do you want to meet and where. And what should we bring coolers, Chairs etc. We could load them up in my pick up. Let me know what time. Blacravin Quote Link to comment
+LandRover Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I would love to go but my mommy says I have to stay home and work off my new tire. Quote Link to comment
+Kiersolvd Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Not this weekend. Sorry. Have a good time. Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Are you guys spending the night? We were just going to head up Sunday... Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Ummmmm...I think if you go up on Sunday you'll be a day late... No, not staying the night. Going up and returning on Saturday...times depend on the outcome of this discussion. Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Ha! I keep thinking it's on Sunday! Thanks for setting me straight again. I keep meaning to print out the cache page... I'm not sure what time we're heading up yet. Quote Link to comment
+CENT5 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I'm headed Northbound at 7:30 AM from Burien. Can go as early as needed because wife is at a Girl Scout thing overnight. Will have duckboat in tow and a canoe and Black Lab on board. Can fit a couple people but the back seat is tight. (Older Chev. ext cab.) (Wife has the Suburban this weekend for GS.) Will need to head back south around 3-4 PM. Quote Link to comment
+Half-Canadian Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Will have duckboat in tow and a canoe and Black Lab on board. I was at the park today with my kayak to fine-tune the two boat-access caches -- launching at the park requires either carrying your boat down about 10 stairs or along a pathway of 150 ft. or so to get to the water. If you're bringing a boat on a trailer, you'll need to launch it at the public launch ramp that's about a mile away from the park. Coordinates for the ramp are N48 40.027 W122 22.553 Quote Link to comment
+Blac Raven Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) So where shall we meet Allanon.Meet in Monroe and go from there to Everett and meet others in Marysville. Any plans at this point. Edited May 6, 2005 by blacravin Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 I'm waiting to hear back from LittleBlue on her plans (family outing or single adventurer). But there is another thing to consider, this thing is supposedly going from 10am til 9pm. A very long time. And what exactly is planned, we don't really know. So, how long does everyone want to 'play'? And is the new night cache some want to go for? (silly question, I know ) I'm pretty much up for whatever. I just hate planning for others.

And what exactly is planned, we don't really know. People are welcome to come anytime and leave anytime -- since the facility rental was for the whole day, I thought I'd just post it as an all-day thing. Some people are only coming for the late afternoon or around dinnertime. Just plan to drop in and stay as long as you like. There are also a tonne of caches in the Fairhaven area of Bellingham area which is only another 10 minutes north for those that haven't cached up that way. Do a PQ on zip code 98225...

+Allanon Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Is there a more "formal" part of the day that some may be interested in? Something like the "official welcome into the WSGA" meeting or anything? How about food? All day or only 11-1? Sorry, but there's really not enough information for planning, IMHO.

There is no formal ceremony involved, unless Right Wing Wacko would like to get up on the table and make a speech I did get a couple of Costco cakes decorated with the gc colours, but that's the extent of the formalities. This event is strictly a good excuse to get people together for a fun day at a nice park to do some caching, talk about caching, have something to eat, and meet up with cachers from around the area. I'm planning to have the barbecue going all day from about 11:30 till 7:30 or so, if people want to grill something they can, I'm sure there will be lots of potluck items, and you can have lunch, dinner, or just snack on stuff. If people are busy but want to just drop by for a little while, great! If you want to stay all day, great! I didn't plan to do any organized games or activities, other than the new caches I put around the park. I hope people weren't expecting a formal agenda for the day Quote Link to comment

I don't know what others were expecting, but I had no clue what was happening. Thanks for the update! Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Ok- ready to plan further. Allanon- I tried your cell a few times this evening, but no go. And I think perhaps I have your home phone wrong- it keeps asking me for my security code! The family has decided to stay local and do things they like to do rather than risk being geocaching hostages for the day. So- I'm up for leaving from your house at 9am if that's still a go. FrodoB would also like to caravan, but take his own vehicle as he doesn't want to stay late. Give me a call! Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 LB...I know, I'm a bad boy because I don't live with my cel phone on and attached to my hip 24/7... As for the home number...Hmmmm..360.794.7761. I'll call you later, but if you see this first, call me. I'm awake, way too early, for some reason. Anyone else is welcome to call as well. Everyone else...Looks like 9:00am at my place in Monroe will be the first waypoint on the trek north. N 47° 51.108 W 121° 59.826. At least two cars will depart from here. LB and me for probaly all day, and FrodoB for a shortened day. We can stop along the way anywhere anyone wants to be picked up. I wanted to stop in Mt. Vernon and meet up with Symbols Crew (my boss) and do the WebCam cache and then some other caches there, but we don't have to stay long if there are other things people want to do. After that??? that's where the "we'll go where ever the winds and LittleBlue take us"... Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 No, not bad for that- for giving me the wrong phone number! JK- I'm sure I just typed it in wrong. I'll give ya a call now. FrodoB changed his mind and won't be going. See you in Monroe at 9! Quote Link to comment
