Last year after the event we all went caching in Oakland. Everyone who was there that day can attest to this being all that winter camping should be. I think we all have memories of that day that will last a lifetime. Tat losing his ski into the Mesalonski Stream, Nikki chopping out frozen caches with an ice ax, Stef sitting on the cache we were looking for are images I will never forget.Quote:

That was another memorable experience!
Yes I like winter caching in Maine. :)
I'll never forget that day. :) The sky was so blue and the snow so white. Trying to find the parking. And everyone lined up to sign the cache, and then the group picture. Ahhhh..........the memories. :rolleyes:Quote:

It sounds like we should have an event for those of us that have a hard time at events. I like an event where I am not just sitting around talking but can get some caching in while not missing out on the event. The summer is jam packed full so we usually only attend events before June or after Labor Day.
We did get to the pig/turkey roast this year.
With three kids one in High School one in Jr High and a 3rd grader. I am busy all the time. I have not gotten to cache as much this summer as last.
I need to learn how to camp to really enjoy some of these events.
The other thing that holds me back is that it is only my son and me who are truly into geocaching. My husband and daughters roll their eyes when I make them stop for a cache. (they almost always enjoy the hike, but they're teenagers and must complain. My husband has no excuse)
I hope to se any of you at an event and if I don't say hi just know that I am introverted. It is really hard to meet new people.:rolleyes:
It's after Labor Day and the fifth Cache Bashe is only 2 days away. You coming or what??;):rolleyes::D:p
I think we spoke at the Slipping event. What are you talking about introverted (shy), I just did not see that in you. Just come, hang out......or just say hi, sign the log and leave. Events are sort of anything goes.
Surely, I do know the kids and hubbie thing. You just go with the flow and bring them along when you can. Hope we see you at one of the events up here but will understand if it doesn't happen.
I had not camped in years before I started caching - it renewed old memories and skills and it was wonderful to have experienced mentors to help. I felt like part of a big family.
Hope to see you soon.
Sure he does . . . he's a guy . . . what other excuse do us males need? ;):D:rolleyes:Quote:

If that isn't enough I committed to a Democratic Country Fair and bought a square in the donkey drop. :p
Luckily both these things are in Brunswick and my family will enjoy going to all these things.
I am thinking about sneaking away and driving north just to sign in and get a smilie but I don't know if my frugal mind will let me.:(
