Hello,

Planning is progressing for the Sept 15 Picnic, at Wildcat Mountain State Park.

We are looking for volunteers to help hide temporary caches for the Picnic. Cache hiding day will be a couple weeks before the event. The WGA will provide the temp containers, stamps, and handouts. Volunteers provide their creative cache ideas, and unique containers if you so desire.

The format of cache hiding day is usually as follows:
– Volunteers meet at the determined date/time/location.
– You’ll receive maps and informational materials, and pages to record your cache’s information on.
– WGA has a nice selection of temp cache containers with stamps. Grab the ones you plan to use.
– Everyone picks a portion of the park where they will focus their hides. This helps spread everyone out.
– Caches may be hidden that day, or at minimum, the coordinates need to be recorded. Some people with special containers will select the location, but not put the cache out until the day of the picnic.
– Cache information will be turned back into the cache coordinator who will record the cache info into the computer. The Laptop will help identify any problems before we go to press with the handouts.
– Stay as long as you want.
– Have fun!

We would love to have between 6 – 10 people helping hide caches. Each person hides around 5 or 6 temp caches. Some hide more, some hide less.

Bring your creative cache ideas. I always say our events should be a showcase of creative cache ideas.

We haven’t pinned down the cache hiding date yet, but if you are interested, please post your availablity in this thread. We would love to see a strong showing of volunteers from the West Central part of the State.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.
