I'll be in the area Sat., but my schedule is full already...sounds like a fun day.
About 15 people showed up for the event, and even a couple of geocachers from Newburyport, Mass. The master of ceremonies was Gary Libby ( aka geoaware ) and we had a great time learning how to and why we were going to measure marble headstones. It's all for research, to help determine the rates of destruction from acid rain, and this is being done globally. I was proud to represent our community at this the first ever Earth Trek event, since it was in Maine and only a house away from where I grew up. Glad to be doing something today that would help us all out. I got no smiley from attending, but left with a greater worth than another find. Watch for an Earth Trek event coming to Maine in early November. :D
Hope to catch up to you at Eustis to hear more.Quote:

I was out every night this past week, Thursday was a talk to locals in the Casco area about private road/camp road law. I didn't have any caches loaded as I didn't leave the area until after 10. Did I miss something? I almost dusted a skunk on the Tripp Lake road!:)

Just heard about this and it is terrible.
What a coincidence.
Lewiston - Police are investigating vandalism at the Riverside Cemetery in Lewiston.
About 150 gravestones at the 40-acre cemetery have been toppled.
Some of the stones were 200 years old and weighed 1,000 pounds or more.
Groundskeeper Kevin Ouellette estimates the damage at $30,000 to $40,000.
The people that do this disgust me.:mad:Quote:

Very nice.
Nice spot on Channel 5 news tonight! Praise those who stepped forward to help! And happy the police were able to put a case together.
Missed all that but good going police.
