Ahhhh yeah, looking forward to another fun NWA event and meeting more cachers!
TnT's conjured up a couple of really fun games and there will be some really good food and drinks for all to consume for caching energy!

For those who might be shy of downloading a Word doc. Here are the rules for the "Dash for the Cache" contest.
Dash for the Cache
On the morning of October 10th, approximately 30 brand new caches that our members have placed throughout Washington and Benton counties will be published. Each of the new caches will have a 3 digit alpha-numeric code written on the log sheet. (These codes will be used by the scorers to verify your finds.)
A list of the caches will be placed in this topic of the NWA Cachers Forums no later than the evening before the event, for your convenience. The list will include the GC number, the cache name and places for you to record that you found it along with a spot for the 3 digit alpha-numeric code.
Once they’ve been published, simply find as many of them as you can on your way to our event in Tontitown. All normal rules apply, such as: you must sign the log, no traffic violations, good sportsmanship, etc. Once you’ve found all that you can, simply come to the event and turn in your cache list to be scored. And, no, we don’t expect that anyone will be able to find them all. (Oh yeah, the cutoff for turning in your list is 4PM).
In the event of a tie, the list turned in earliest will win.

The night before the event, I'll be posting the official list of the participating caches for the event in the first posting above as a MSWord document. If anyone needs it posted in a different format, let me know ahead of time. (No, I'm not going to post a .GPX file)

All caches for this are in Benton or Washington County, so it must be a mistake.. maybe a mix-up with the 0 and O?
I don;t think the 30 caches for this event are live yet- my 4 are not anyway.

This was a bit of dsylexia on my part that cache was supposed to be GC1X9X0.
PS, there are is no letter O in geocaching.
Groundspeak uses a "Base 31" numbering system for caches. 26 letters of the alphabet, plus the numerals 0 through 9, minus the letters I, L O, S, and U.
