12 Weeks to go....

That's right - - - Just 12 weeks until the 14th Annual GCHR picnic!!!

I know that the crew behind the scenes are working very very hard to get speakers line up, separate events scheduled, games lined up for the afternoon, menu items ordered, SWAG items ordered plus a ton of other stuff (including some super-secret stuff I don't even know about) lined up either for your or the your kids enjoyment.

Now, with all that going on here in Hampton Roads, we still need some help from you guys and gals.

We really want to know how many of you are going to come to our picnic!!!

All the great volunteers want to be ready for all of you, and they need to know exactly how big this crowd is going to be.  So we really need you to do a couple of things for us.  

1)  Go to the Geocaching.com site for the picnic (HERE) and log a "Will Attend".

and

2) Register for the picnic at the picnic registration page (HERE).  By registering it helps us not only with the food and the Swag (coins, t-shirts, etc), but it also helps us in other behind-the-scene ways.
Now, I'm sure the people behind the picnic would really appreciate each and every one of you purchasing one of the more expensive packages for the picnic.  But, what you may not know is: there are 7 different levels of registration available.  Yes, the White Oak Trail package comes with a special trackable coin that cannot be purchased anywhere else, but there are 6 others that you can be purchased.  The Swamp Fire Trail package is only $10 and contains a meal ticket, the customized name tag and lanyard.  But I will let you in on a secret - there is a registration package that is FREE.  The free package contains just a customized name tag but it still helps us with our count. 

Please help us out by registering!!!

I am looking forward to talking to each and every one of you.

Once you get to the picnic, look for a small tent, somewhere near the shelters.  I will be there most of the morning handing out general information not only on the park and picnic, but also on the General Hampton Roads area.  I'll even promise to give you hints on geocaches in the area that may be giving you problems!!!

OK - one last bit of info

Up at the top of the page on the right hand side is a list of pages for this blog.  The 2nd page listed is the 14th Annual GCHR Picnic Info page.  If you click there it will take you to a page where there are all sorts of links for different information such as... the best caches in each area around Hampton Roads based on favorite points.  I am currently working on updating each and every link on that page. 

Anyway, thanks for reading and thanks for registering!!!  Hope to see you in 12 weeks!!!

Till next time!!!
Stay Safe & Keep Caching!!!
