First International Geocaching Day Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

StealthRT: Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the First International Geocaching Day Event. Also, big thanks to all who contributed to the success of this event. All those who took pictures on the ground including Webscouter. Also, The Belligerent One, debrajean, louinliberty, and buzzkill2 who offered other forms of support to make the event come off smoothly.

A special thanks to the man in the sky, SOB, who scaled a treacherous ladder inside Staples to take shots from above. I’d also like to thank the Staples management team, specifically Shane and Dennis, for allowing us to get those shots. I admit, Shane and Dennis would have done a better job for us if they had just handed SOB an easy button to push rather than making him scale that ladder, but really, I suppose SOB walks way with a better story. I mean, who wants to hear another story about needing to get across a canyon, pushing an easy button, and being teleported over. Those stories are getting so plentiful they are almost boring.

Archiving the event as we will not be passing this way again.

Geocache Description:

A casual event by StealthRT


Event Date: Saturday, August 20, 2011
Event Time: 1:00 PM
Event Type: Casual – Phoon
Event Duration: Short
New Caches Released: Probable


The third Saturday of August is not only when we gather for the great Kansas City Picnic, but it is also now heralded as International Geocaching Day.


Since perhaps millions across the world will be celebrating this auspicious occasion, we in the Kansas City caching community could not let this moment pass by without commemorating it.


While this event calls for a grand gala of proportions only seen at royal weddings, we, dare I say most of us, have already committed ourselves many moons ago to attending the 11th Annual Kansas City Picnic .


Therefore, our celebration must be quick, pointed, and above all, tasteful.

Nothing says tasteful like a large plate of crispy bacon…


More on topic though, no event demonstrates tasteful like a giant helping of PHOON!


To mark the First International Geocaching Day, join us in Blue Springs, Missouri, home of the 11th Annual Kansas City Picnic for the First International Geocaching Day Phoon Event.

This phoon will raise the bar.


Most phooners phoon around an inanimate object that is unaware of the existence of phoon.


On International Geocaching Day, however, we will be phooning with artwork sculptures that will be phooning along with us.



Yes, that’s right googly eyed baby. The sculptures will be phooning along with us.

To our knowledge, this will be a first in phooning history. And you can be a part of it.

Those of you who have never phooned before, fear not. Prior to the phoon, a professional phooner will demonstrate phoon for you. Then, you will have phoon. In fact, you will have group phoon. And not just any group phoon. International group phoon. And as we all know, international group phoon, is simply the best phoon one can phoon.

So come on out and have some harmless fun as we celebrate the First International Geocaching Day.
