It is a formatted spreadsheet made into a booklet (8.5×11 sheets folded). Each booklet page (8.5×5.5) will contain info on 5 caches with a box to stamp the stamper from the cache. Here is one cache from the last picnic:

---

38. (VISTA) Vista View
by Greyhounder
N42 49.579 W88 35.542
Nordic Trail
D/T: (1.0/1.5)
Container: Camo Small Jar

---

It gives the name in the GPX along with full name, hider, coords, which park trail it is on, D/T and container description. Hints are compiled on a separate page.

All the cache pages are combined in a booklet with general information about park rules, event schedule, park map with caches and parking marked, and hints.

Thanks for volunteering your time for the benefit of geocachers!

It’s fine for me (using Firefox with both Linux and Windows XP) and I’m not even considered normal.

I’d love to kayak at Hartman, but since my daughter will be with me, I can’t predict if I’ll have the time. If you bring it for others to use, I would like to be considered for a short paddle if the opportunity arises.

Thanks, Ruth.

Geopink – you’ll have to rename yourselves now to GeoOrange. 😀

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jeremy!

(Since I whined about this more than once, I thought I should thank more than once.)

If I actually get to ground zero and don’t find it, I’ll log a DNF (even if 3 feet of snow inhibit my search or I find the cache but can’t retrieve it). If something kept me from getting to GZ, such as safety concerns, I’ll post a note.

But it sounds like you still want them to appear in the forum index where they normally go Ruth?

No, that wouldn’t be necessary. I think I can find them if they are below everything else, even in a drop-down menu. It’s even better for making it obvious which forums I have “turned off”. I just want a way to maintain a way to access them. I’m sure I will occasionally check on their contents to see if anything is interesting, but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as often as I read the rest of the forums.

I would use this because I regularly use the “view all posts since last visit” and it would be nice to not have certain ones pop up. But, I would like a way to see those forums when I wanted to to – like to directly click through the front page of the forums to get to them.

Hmm. I thought it was the first former WGA BOD he saw.

I prefer Leinie’s Honey Weiss. 😀

There will not be a lot of available parking at the group site since the people camping there will have most of the parking spaces. There is overflow parking very near the site.

Can Do.

Did I miss the listing somewhere?

It is the intent that the committee run the event. Board members outside of the committee that would like to participate are welcome to help out.

The “welcome to help out” part bothers me. I’d like to see more of a committment from the Board. I see the committee as the planners but being able to rely on the Board as workers, where necessary. Otherwise, we are right back to a small group of people having to give *all* on the event day(s).

I was just conversing with Jeremy about getting the WGA Eggplant for that purpose. I was assuming most people would have had the coords uploaded already and was just offering my laptop as a backup. It does not contain USB connections, though, so it would be best to bring your own cable if you have that, or anything unusual.

This is the device I’m talking about. If you need something other than what is listed on it, you’ll need to bring it yourself.
