If I was going to be above the tunnel between now and then, I'd do some, but I'm not, so I'll pass this time around.

If anyone is interested in joining us, ARLT1YJ, debmitc and *TnT* will be at Backyard Burgers across for WM on Pleasant Crossing tomorrow (Thursday 10 September) at 5:30 to have a planning session for the event.

We'll be discussing topics such as prizes, schedule of events, needed items, etc.

Add CaptainFingers and cache_me_in to the list.

So far, redink has hidden his. Remember that Chuck Walla needs a week to review these and you'll need some time to correct any issues he might discover. Also, don't forget to post your "Will Attend"

Will there be tables or something for displaying/ trading stuff? Mostly thinking of geocoins and pathtags. If so, I'll happily bring some of my penguin/razorback pathtags to trade!

I'm not sure how much space is going to be available, but I'm sure there will be some trackables showing up at the event. (We're donating at least one as a prize.)

I'm not really big on trackables at events, this seems to be one of the best ways for them to get lost. (The other being new cachers thinking they're trade items and not logging them/quitting caching.)

Speaking of which, jaygill is donating some ammo cans, and we're going to donate some coins and other items.

Anyone else got anything to donate for prizes?

26 caches have been added to the list thus far. We still have a few who've said they're hiding. Looks like there'll be a good variety out there for folks to find.

Looks like we'll definately be surpassing the 30 mark. I've still got four to hide as well.

I'm thinking this will turn out to be a great event, and also a good boost to the caches in our area.

This will be our first event as well as our cacher friends from Central ARkansas. Are we supposed to try and find newly published caches prior to 3:00 meet and greet potluck? Thanks. Looking forward to this and hopefully learning more about our newest gps unit if anyone has the same model. PN-40

Email sent about the door prizes.

Yes, the "Dash for the Cache" will be to find the newly published caches on Saturday morning. The rules are posted in this forum and on google docs and are linked to from the event listing at gc.com.

The deadline to turn your entry in on Saturday is 4PM.

Finally, one of the event organizers - debmitc - has a PN-40. I'm sure she'll be more than willing to help you out with it.

The list of caches eligible for saturday will be posted to both places tomorrow evening at some point.

Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else on Saturday.

I would have to say the event was a success. Everyone seemed to enjoy the four Fs.

Finds - The "Dash for the Cache" on their way to the event.
Friends - The great group of cachers there.
Food - Jason cooked up some mean burgers and dogs.
Fun - The "Geocaching Uniqueness" game brought out some great stories.

Thanks to those who helped with the planning, those who helped hide the caches, Chuck Walla for reviewing and approving them and, most importantly, the great folks who came to NWA and attended the event.
