This coming Saturday is The Last Cache Bashe of Summer 2009 (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=5620dc13-5805-4709-8940-9e47e4b1d85b) (GC1WT2K) by mainiac1957 (http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?id=139598) (1/1). This is my sixth year of holding this event. I have been more than lucky in the past with great weather. Can it happen again? Come and find out! The prizes are stocked and The grill is heating up. I know a few have regretted not being able to make it, but come out and see who does. I have a new plan for doling out the goodies this year that should be lots of fun. It starts at 11:00 and food around noon or whenever anyone gets hungry. You can post what you are bringing here, but post on the page as well. See you on Saturday!!:cool:

We are going to try and make it. We had a card tournament the past couple years that fell on the same day, but this year it was this weekend. I was hoping to carve something for a prize contribution, but I just don't have the time. :confused:

Brad, I had hoped to come, but a 10 state 4 day caching excursion has gotten in the way.

Will definitely shoot for next year.

This will be my first no show at this event. Kim and I are attending my friends parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration the same day. I'll miss the event, hope for good weather and have fun!

Wish we could be there, but we have to be in New Hampshire at another event. Hope many others will be attending and you all have a great time.

We'll be in the air returning from our wild wild west tour so we won't be able to make it but wish you all the bestest of sunny weather. (Also hoping the kid remembers to pick us up at the airport on Satuurday night....):D

We are in, but I have to work until noonish, so I planned on getting there around 1 if that's ok.

No, it will not be alright. You'll miss too many good parts. Get a replacement. Remember your priorities.

I plan on being there. It will be great to see everyone. I will probably have my kayak with me in case anyone is interested in doing some paddling after the event. I'll bring something for desert, maybe brown sugar fudge.

Get there when you can. Remember now, no distraction while you're driving or you'll have to give yourself a warning.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

A couple of people have asked me to take geocoins/TBs to Hawaii. Make sore they're logged into the Last Cashe Bashe before you hand them off to me!

And Hiram, take that travel bug tag off - I'm not taking you... :p:p

You can go if you want. It's way to hot down there for me.

My vehicle desperately needs a good bathing. I'm thinking if I have time while at work that I may clean her up. UNLESS you are doing the car wash at the old Buker school. I can always hope. :)

I must say, this was a great event. Lots of people and great discussions. I posted some random pictures to my cache log (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=bc2411a3-1f5e-4ed3-8432-f7228a931ace) for anyone interested.

Thank you for posting the pics, and I agree Dave. It was so much fun to meet everyone w/the bingo game. I was so busy socializing that I didn't get to eat until late. I missed out on catching up w/Evil Homer too......and thought I was seeing things, Hiram was there!?

It was great fun getting out on the water to kayak cache aftewards as well. Thank you for the idea/invite Ebee.

So many wonderful caches to find.......cachers to meet..... events to attend.... And So Little Time!

A great event for sure and the Bingo game was a great idea to really get people interacting. Thanks for hosting this and I certainly will be trying to make it to this one every year. It was really nice to talk to some of you offline as it's not quite the same as the chat or through forum posts.

Had so much fun talking with everyone. Signing booby trapped caches and eating good food.

Its always nice to put a face to a name/handle. I just wish others would have been able to attend, and that I could have met some that I missed. :)

Had a great time at this event and really enjoyed meeting cachers I haven't met before. I didn't get to chat with everyone I wanted to but that's usually the way it is. I'm so glad that Brad's weather forecasting abilities seem to be spot on. Either that or he's just lucky :) I especially enjoyed the kayaking afterwards with squirrelcache, useursenses, kayakerinme, team2hunt, and TAT. Once again, I've been shown that Maine geocachers are some of the nicest, most welcoming people I have ever met!
