I checked all the stuff I have and no scissors.
Speaking of the picnic specifically and other Wisconsin gatherings generally, just because the hides are temporary i.e. for the event, does not make them any less difficult or challenging. In fact, the temporary hides can be much more interesting because techniques may be used that couldn’t be used on long term hides.
You’ll note that on the 2004 picnic page, a cache hiding day was held (other events do/did this too) where the hides are planned and coordinated. The hides are not tossed into bushes the morning of the event. I would consider these caches as loggable (read ‘as well done as’) any permanent cache.

Oh wait, thats not the issue. I can not imagine anyone hauling something -there- (with or without cake) without a purpose.
I bet its Beta Max.
The pictures need to be scanned and posted. Not so much so we have the complete story but as proof that the Cheeseheads have actually found ‘A River Runs Through It’. I think this is one of the signs of the apocalypse mentioned in the Bible.
Somebody decided to build a house very (too) near the final. The Xing itself disappeared the day after I published the cache, so I had to improvise a Xing.
The cache is cursed, not one of my favorites and so I decided to give up. Just one of those Xings.
I had a great Sunday.
My goal was Das Boat, which I visited, and ‘in between’ there were:
5 caches.

In the “Send Waypoints to GPS” screen there is a box labeled “Waypoint Description Format”. In there I place:
%con1%typ1/%dif-%ter/%name-%hint
which gives me a waypoint description like:
RT/2.5-3.5/GARY’S GRISTMILL-LOOK FOR THE LARGE ROC
Notes:
Limitations on comment size is GPSr dependent.
There are other special tags you may wish to use.
My experience is that it doesn’t eliminate the need for cache sheets, but it can help in a pinch.[This message has been edited by jthorson (edited 07-17-2004).]
There were 6 people ‘watching’ the cache page at the time logs started to roll in. Lotsa full mailboxes tonight.
I’m coming. My original plans had me going to the opening of the Bristol Renaissance Fair on game day. But it occurred to me that the Renaissance has been around since the dark ages.
This event happens but once. See y’all Saturday.

He must. The only reason caching is possible as we know it is that on May 1, 2000, the president at the time signed the order to remove SA (selective availability). SA intentionally made GPSrs less accurate, except for the US government/military. Literally overnight new applications were possible.
Someone posted a specific request for new games to play with a GPS.
Geocaching was just one.My favorite of the proposals was this:
Stand in an open field with plenty of room, like the fifty yard line of a football field.
Turn on your GPSr.
Create a waypoint where you are.
Go to that waypoint.
Continue chasing that waypoint (ground zero) until you get bored or have a heart attack.This would have been fatal pre-May 2000.
