Sheesh! With my GSAK macro, they don't even have to think about it; just highlight the cache in the list and copy for forums, then paste it in your post! It comes out all nice and pretty!

getting to the campsite should not be a problem, we can drag just about anything in... :rolleyes:

the campsite is on a dirt road, I don't think it will be a problem getting there with 2wd, just watch out for the big rocks :D

I dunno... I was thinking maybe "operation orca" we could put jake in the orca costume and dress him up like a commando... (or heh.... wait for it...) a SEAL!!! HAHAHA I crack me up! :D:D:D:D

This year will you be doing a "collect the keys" thing like at a party with alcohol... not because anyone will be drinking and driving but to keep tabs on breakfast??

While you may bring your own breakfast it will be assimilated!! Resistance is futile!

Wouldn't work Dave . . . I have spare keys and know where Hiram hides his spare key. ;):D

So what you're saying is we should slip some benadryl into your woodchucks to keep the breakfast safe??? :p

Jake usually sneaks of to cache in the wee hours. There is only one or two caches with 1000 miles of TL2009 ground zero.:rolleyes:

You can . . . but benadryl combined with alcohol may enduce a greater amount of snoring. ;):D

Yeah, I noticed that . . . I'm not quite sure of what I would do with no local caches to do before all of you sleepy heads get up and get moving.

Aaron . . . I was looking at the map and trying to determine what caches will be available . . . there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of local caches so it seems as though most of the caching would be on the way in or the way home from the event. What is the best route to the site . . . I mean this one seems a bit off the beaten path compared to past events.

Is anyone going to show up on Friday night?
Also keep in mind for those attending that there is a gate fee at the Jo-Mary gate.

Ill be there friday night, so will brad, dave and gail might.

There's a really cool cache on the way in, "jo-who" I forget who placed that one....:rolleyes:

no, there's not a whole lotta caches up that way, but it's still a nice area, and the caches around there are some nice ones. theres always the ride into wheelbarrow pitch you can do, the bridge is out but you can probably hike into 10-40, and gauntlet falls is on the way too.

I plan on hiding a short poker run on fri night, and there will be a $20 cache prize for the first person to replace "the wandering orca" cache up by chamberlain... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

so with that to do, the kayaking, and the hanging around the campground eating and havin fun. maybe we can have a beanbag tourney too. I think there will be plenty to keep us entertained. :D

well, i was thinking we'll keep to the traditional "play it by ear" approach. that method hasn't failed us the last 3 years... ;):D

right now it's looking like a total of 8 that have confirmed coming. which is pretty good since the usual TL group is 6 to 12 :D

I am going to try to make it if I do not have to work. I figured I could knock out two birds with one stone. Since the Appalachian Trail is less then a mile from the event, I figured I would do some trail magic for the hikers. I have to leave Saturday though if I make it.

I hope to be there . . . but at this point I'm beginning to waffle . . . it's quite a ways for very few caches . . . I'll see what the weather brings.

Yeah, the kayaking, the swimming, the food, the beanbags, the horseshoes, the campsite (which I think was the best site yet for a TL event) was all awesome. And the company was what made it even better. :D

Thanks to everyone that helped out; lois for the prize detail, brad and dave for the ez ups, jake for the fire detail, brad again for helpin out with the pancake breakfast, and the dogs for helping to keep the campsite clean by picking up all the food we dropped. :D

This was definitely a great event, here's to next year! :D:D:D

There I fixed your post . . . ;):D

Actually, it was one of the better Tread Lightly events . . . good people, good place and good food.
