    Default Maine Geo Weekend at my Campground

    Ok I spend my summers in Maine at a campground in Standish. We have gotten permission from the owners to do A Geocaching weekend and It already has been posted on thier campground webpage. I love this area and moved my park model to the Sebago area last year spacifically because of the cache consentration.

    So I was woundering what I can have as a weekend long aid to people that will hopefully attend.

    So far we are planning a Cookout slash bug exchange for the sunday, a newbee class adn a field trip out so others can have a positive first time, and a map of all the caches in the area.

    So I was hoping that there would be some Ideas from all you guys who have been great to all the out of state cachers.

    If I read this correctly the weekend posted on the campground website is Columbus Day weekend. Correct? Are you planning on this being an official Geocaching event and posting it on Geocaching.com?

    I am sure there are folks who live in Southern Maine who have planned events that may be willing to help or mentor you in this endeavor. Sounds like fun.

    Default Post it and they will come

    If it is not a GC.com posted event you won't as many as you would if it is posted. Sadly I will me vacationing in Vt that week so it would be doubtful that I would make it. Other than that I would be there.
    Happy Trails!

    I dont know how the Goecaching site would take this. I guess I could try it and see if they let it fly.

    Unfortunately Memorial weekend plans are made well in avance for us and we will be in Connecticut. Maybe another year if it becomes annual.

    To me there is little difference then holding an event at a donut shop, restaurant or other commercial place (but of course I am not a reviewer). The difference, I see, is the campground has a guest admittance fee but that is no different than a state park in season. Read the GC rules and work with them.

    It would be nice if the campground would waive the "guest" fee for geocachers who come for the day but that would be up to them.

    Sounds like fun - it's a holiday weekend.

    You are absolutly correct on this. I believe they are letting visitors in free for the bug swap and the cookout, but will be charging if people want to camp there for the weekend.I believe the price for the BBQ is like 7$ but I could be wrong on that. I know that there is about 10 caches that you can bike to easily in one day in the immediate area, and it is really saturated with caches.

    I guess in the next two weeks I will be trying to see if I can get it approved.
