Volunteers needed for the campout

[GrouseTales]

Hello everyone!

I’m the chairperson for the upcoming campout. The Lil Otter will be our co-chair. I’m really getting excited as the planning progresses.

As with past events, the WGA loves to get our local cachers involved in helping out with cache placement. As such, I’m looking for a handful of volunteers who would like to help place caches for the campout.

The emphesis is on creating fun, quality caches. This is a good opportunity to showcase creative ways of hiding caches.

We will also be hosting night caching events on Saturday night. In the past the night caches have proven to be a LOT of fun. Some blinked, some hooted, some range a bell. We’ve had angels flying out of trees, ghosts illuminating their presence, and trails of alien blood leading to crashed spacecraft.

If you’re interested in helping place caches, post your reply here, AND please send me an email. I’ll probably try to work out a day when all the volunteers can go to the park on the same day to hide their caches. Possible dates are 4/24 and 4/25.

Again, we would like to get the involvement of cachers in the area. If you’re willing to drive, we would appreciate other cachers helping as well.

Other items: We would also appreciate some volunteers to help/bring the following items:
[*]Firewood (enough for 2 fire pits, for two nights)
[*]charcoal (about 40lbs)
[*]bottled water
[*]soda (regular/diet)

If there is anything else you would like to contribute, feel free to drop me a note.

Thanks!

[Cathunter]

I hereby volunteer a donation of 10 cases of bottled water for all enthusiastic geocachers. If you are not enthusiastic, I will loan you an empty bottle, which you can fill in the lake.

[GrouseTales]

Thanks Russ, looks like we should be set with the water

[Hotdogs_Off_Trail]

Hey Brian,

We can bring some firewood, and would also like to volunteer for a day cache placement if you need one, and one night cache placement.

[Grandma & Grandpa]

We live about 5 miles from Hartman Creek State Park, and have been there many times. We’ll be glad to help in any way needed.

This sounds like a great time in our beautiful part of the world!

Feel free to eamil us directly: [email protected] We watch email closely, but not necessarily the discussions…

We’ll volunteer for anything that you need us for. We’re pretty open to suggestions. Let us know if there’s something specific. We’d bring supplies, place caches, whatever…

[Ms. WISearcher]

I would be happy to help in the cache placements (have never been to this particular state park before, however…and a bunch of people got stung at mine at the cookout… …but I would love to help anyway)

We can bring some soda and our coolers along as well…

let us know if there are any other things you need.

[Snoshu]

Hey there!!!

Count us for 2 big bags of Charcoal….Let us know of anything further…. I’d love to go and help place…can’t guaranty I’m free. Would need to know the dates!

Are we still looking for door prize items this year…. I’ve collected a couple of items over the past 6mo. or so…

[GeoPink]

I, too, would be willing to help place caches for the big gig. I am only an hour and a half away at most and I spent some time on the trails at the park last summer for a week. Team GeoPink is looking forward to an early start to our camping season and meeting fellow geo-families! Let me know the date that caches would be placed and hopefully I will be available!

For those who have volunteered to help hide caches, don’t forget about the upcoming hiding session. A couple weeks ago, I emailed all of those who have offered to help.

The people I have for cache hiders are:

• Ronda – WIsearchers
• Geoff – Geoffnsara
• Jeff and Bonnie – Hot dogs
• Bill – Flushingrouse
• Jeff – jthorson
• Brian – GrouseTales (myself)

If you replied that you WOULD attend and your name is not on the list, please contact me asap. Also let me know if your name is on the list but you can’t make it.

Further details will be provided by email. I’m looking forward to a fun day of cache hiding

[GrouseTales]

I forgot to mention, Rhonda (WIseachers) will be helping me as the co-chair for the picnic. The Lil Otter is out of state and couldn’t make it back in time (who can blame her )

Feel free to contact me or Rhonda with any questions or ideas.

[Green Bay Paddlers]

The Green Bay Paddlers have some charcoal to donate… we’ll be bringing it along!

Jeff

[greyhounder]

Do you need me to bring anything?

Bec

[Geoffnsara]

I cant wait for Saturday

[GrouseTales]

We are looking pretty good with the list of items people have volunteered to bring. Let me list the items we need and the names of who have volunteered to bring that item(s).

Charcoal
[*]Snoshu (2 bags)
[*]Greenbay Paddlers (1 bag)

Firewood(we need enough for 2 fire pits, for two nights)
[*]Hotdogs off trail

Bottled water
[*]Cathunter (10 cases)

Soda
[*]Ms. WIsearcher

Ice
[*]Trudy and the Beast

In the past it seems we’ve ended up with a lot of left over soda. I think for the campout, we should focus more on bottled water. It taste good warm or cold, doesnt go flat, and the bottles are better then cans. Cathunter volunteered 10 cases of water. If these are 24 packs, we should have enough water. If these are 12 packs, we might need a few more bottles.

Thanks again to all of those who have volunteered to help!
