10-Years - Geo Events #2 & #3

We attended a breakfast geoevent which was held to celebrate the 10th 'birthday' of geocaching.

One of the requirements for holding a 10-year event was to have a placard with the coordinates and the name of the party on it. This makes for a handy sign-in logsheet for the event too.

So, we arrived fairly early which means we were able to sit at the main table...

See what happens when they give me part hats? I really shouldn't be allowed out in public...

And apparently, the same is true for Brad, who seems to be modeling a 'Pharoh's beard-hat'.

Yeah, it was a bit early, but everybody perked up once they got some coffee in them.

Here is a picture of the extended table where just had to go over and socialize with some of the geocachers that are competitors in our geocoin contest.

At the end of the breakfast, we all lined up outside for the required group shot.

Of course, we had to clown around a bit... Well, time to head out to the afternoon event.

Ah, here we are, at the Port Richey event located at a park in Lake Tarpon.

And there was this nice cake to celebrate the 10-year event.

While we were there, couple of geocachers said they were going to hunt for our geocache that was located in the park. I offered to tag along in case they got stuck.

As I was getting ready to go, I said 'Hi' to the Cold Case Cachers, whom we had met at the breakfast event...

As you can see, this was something of a mellow affair, since it was about 95 degrees and 100% humidity. Talk about a strength-sapping day!

Since we were located across from a doggy-park, we had a few doggy visitors at the event.

We even got to meet with the youngest geocacher at the event, and her mother too.

But, let's not forget about daddy...

After I got back from my trail-busting with Speed & Trixie (below), I somehow ended up holding a Q & A session regarding GPS receivers and how to program them.

Here is Speed & Trixie, trying to find a particularly elusive geocache, which they eventually found. Nice job, guys!

And of course, we don't pass up an opportunity to shoot some flowers.

Well, that's about it for our geocaching weekend, it's time to stop by our favorite dent repairman, Chip to fix a dent in the passenger door of the Camaro (see above).
