While the nights won't be as cold as the night on the bog last March, a nalgene with hot water at the bottom of the sleeping bag (and other great tips from that link) may be appreciated during this trip.
I really don't expect the drinking to be excessive. Most of the geocachers I've met so far enjoy sharing homebrews and a few drinks, but getting drunk isn't the objective.![]()
Hiram and I are really excited about this even too! We might need to consider getting a new GPS by then too...![]()

I went to Sam's Club and bought disposable plates, dessert plates, hot cups, cold cups, knives, forks and spoons, cocoa, coffee, tea bags, marshmallows, sugar, creamer (dry + liquid), napkins. What else do I need? Couldn't find pats of butter. Foxgloves is bringing cider and apple crisp. Who's bringing what??
I have also put out three new caches to be published the day of the event and have plans for at least one more. There is wi-fi at the campground and at the public library which is very near the Community Building so you may be able to get it there. The library with computers is open Sat. 9-noon. Or 9-1. Hmmm....
I have 5 kayaks and know where I can borrow two more at least.
I've requested good weather.....

I would love to attend one of these events and plan to at some point. We have quite a bit of traveling this summer and may not be able to do too much until after the holidays. Busy season for retail is right around the corner.

Is Lasagna OK?
I'm thinking it will be cool outside and a chilli would heat things up. Just ask Hiram. I'll be bringing the usual hot sauces, with warnings!
Since I'm sure that we will be out tackling the ranges on Saturday. Can we leave the crockpots off in the AM, and have someone plug them in as needed, say around noontime?
Why not live life like it is your last day....instead of pretending to be a member of the Peter Pan Club and believing you will be around forever.
We'll bring a crock pot full of meatballs
