The Rice Lake Chamber seemed very pleased with how the event turned out. They had over 60 participants and gave away some outdoor equipment such as flashlights, binoculars, a sleeping bag and chair etc… Nothing really huge. They are planning to do it again next year and are open to having new caches placed specifically for the event. She understood the difficulty of attracting local geocachers without new caches. Bottom line is they were happy enought to do it again next year.
Thanks for the update. And, yeah, placing new caches is key. I for one, was unable to participte since I had found nearly all the caches they had listed.
