Just another AACC event!


What a FANTASTIC Day!!!

The weathermen/women/persons finally granted us a reprieve from the two
choices they had been providing us with for the last 6 weeks; Choice A: Temperatures
in the upper 90's or lower 100's with Humidity about 99% or higher - or - Choice B:
Five or more days of rain followed by a few more days of rain which, in turn is
followed by followed by at least another day of rain!!!



When: Thursday - August 23rd
Location: Elizabeth River Park (under the Jordan Bridge)
Time: 4 till 6PM
What: AACC #116
We were finally granted a reprieve from our two choices and ended up with a gorgeous day!!!


Temperature was about 80 - yes 80!!!!
There was a slight breeze off of the water and we had entertainment,
not only in the form of 2112Rush (and other geocachers), but also a DJ!!!

There were a good choice of food trucks also!!!

Of course there were geocaching stories: Among some of the best were:

Cameramoose explaining how to slide down the hill to "The Spot" (GC39)
mbbaumann giving new cacher advise on how to NOT get arrested while geocaching
Nana explaining to the Park Ranger about the placement of "painted rocks"

Fun was had by all - especially Kody - the puppy none of us could stop petting!!!

The next AACC event will be sometime around September 27th - come
on out and join us!!!
