Coffee and Donuts at 8AM
We will be at the shelter at 8am with a box of coffee and a couple
dozen donuts.
WHERE's The Event? We have reserved the Allis State Park
Shelter in Brookfield VT, and they hope to have rest rooms and
running water for clean-up, turned on by the event date. There is
plenty of parking for all. The park doesn’t officially open until
the following weekend, so there will NOT be any admission charge
for today’s event.
Driving directions yet to come… Stop in, have a bite to eat,
enjoy the company and meet your fellow cachers…
CLEAN UP at 9 AM,
Cache In Trash Out Day is an opportunity for geocachers to help
clean up the parks and other cache-friendly places throughout the
world. Through our volunteer efforts, we help preserve the natural
beauty of our outdoor resources. The park is pretty nice but the VT
State Parks dept will give us a list of areas that need clean-up in
the community. They will also have some regular spring clean up
that we can help with, We will provide trash bags. Bring your own
gloves and work clothes. There are restrooms if you wish to change
after the clean up. If you are not able to come early enough to
help with the clean up, come anyway, have a bite to eat, enjoy the
company and meet your fellow cachers…
POTLUCK at Noon on May 18, 2008 We will have a large
fireplace going from 11 am on, for anyone to use to cook hotdogs,
burgers, steaks or whatever. Let me know what you can bring so we
don’t end up with a bunch of the same stuff. We will provide some
hotdogs or you can bring your own meats for the grill.

GAMES and PRIZES at 1 PM.
A fully stocked cache, Geocoins, T-shirts, patches, pins and some
trinkets will be given away. Anyone wishing to donate more is
welcome.
We will set an area for a TB swap, and print out some sheets for
the new caches.
Photo contest I am looking for geo related photos of
Nature. Any photo that shows the beauty of nature (beauty is in the
eye of the beholder). The photo should be one taken by you or your
team while geocaching. EMail you photo to me (djlasell2@gmail.com)
or bring it to the event. Judgeing will be done at the event. There
will be a small prize for winner.
Thanks to some very ambitious "Green-Up crews" there is very
little trash to clean.
So I have volenteered to help the Allis State park with their
spring maintenence. It will be mostly raking and a little brush
removal at the campsites and along the trail.
Please bring a rake and some gloves. Since the snow stayed
really late this year (last week there was still a little snow in
the woods), they are behind schedule.
I believe there will be about 20 new caches in the area, to hunt
and lots of prizes for the prize table
