Come & join us at the Ice Springs area of the Boise National Forest. This is a great area for a variety of outdoor activities & relaxation if you desire.
Nearby is 4740 acre Anderson Ranch Reservoir, offering 50 miles of shoreline for boating, fishing & water skiing. When the dam was completed in 1950, it was the tallest Earth Rockfill dam in the world.
The towns of Pine, Featherville & Prairie are a short drive away, as well as Trinity Mountain & it's popular lakes.
Recreation abounds closer in with miles of trails for hiking, ATV's, motor cycles & horses. You can cool off or fish in Fall Creek.
Clear out a patch of ground and call it yours. If you need a table, you might want to bring one as there are NO FACILITIES AT THE CAMP SPOT, although there is a campground about 1 mile away with a few tables & a pit toilet. This is a DRY CAMP so you will need to pack in everything you need for the weekend. This is also dispersed camping so there is no way to reserve a spot or guarentee that the location is not taken before we arrive. Every effort will be made to try and secure the area before the event.
This area has lots of endless roads and trails for your daily excursions and for those that have never been to the area you will not regret this trip.
There will be caches a short hike from the road for you to find and some that are right along the road.
Directions From Pine:
From the Pine/Featherville road take the left fork in Pine (Lester Creek Road) approximately 11 miles to Fall Creek Road. The planned camp area is about 1 additional mile north.
The planned events will be as follows:
Friday, July 27th:
Caching according to your equipment, individual plans and desires to earn IGO Bucks for the auction. Meet and Greet hour from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Central Gathering Area. Come and meet your fellow geocachers and receive your CNC 9 packet for the IGO Bucks for the auction.
Saturday, July 28th:
Caching according to your equipment, individual plans and desires to earn IGO Bucks for the auction. No special function is planned, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN FOR THE DAY. Only caches found Friday and Saturday will count for IGO Bucks and you are trusted to report correct information. Cache sheets MUST be turned into an Event Host by 4:00 PM on Saturday, so that your IGO Bucks earnings can be calculated.
A potluck dinner will be at the Central Gathering Area at 7:00 p.m. SHARP. Everyone is expected to supply one hot entrée or dessert for the potluck, PLEASE NO pasta, potato or cold salads, or chips and salsa. All Dutch Oven Dishes will be placed in the running for the “Dutch Oven Cook-Off“. There will be a special prize for the Dutch Oven dish deemed the "most delicious". Bring your best Dutch Oven dish. A secret judging method will be established to determine the best dish.
The auction will begin immediately after dinner. Please bring one camping/caching related item per geocaching name to donate to the auction event. Donations are required to participate in the IGO Auction and the IGO Bucks payout. Items at the past auctions have included: Dutch Ovens, Walking Sticks, backpacks, headlamps, compasses, Dutch Oven cookbooks, geocoins, Event T-shirts, etc..
***PLEASE ALSO bring one item to donate to the Community Cache as well.****
Special Note-IGO Bucks will be distributed according to a complex proprietary matrix of caches visited on Friday and Saturday. Caches found before Friday will need to be revisited in order to claim them for IGO Bucks. Score sheets will be handed out at the main campground on Friday night so it will be wise to keep track of caches hit on Friday before getting your score sheet. Also you are on Cachers honor on recording your finds. Be sure to watch for special Camp & Cache 9 cards in select caches for bonus Igo bucks.
Sunday, July 29th:
Pack up and leave or stay longer if you desire.
Plan on bringing FRS radios to communicate with your party. The group will monitor channel 2 and 12 (no squelch codes) as usual.
Everyone should be prepared to encounter wildlife (deer, elk, bear, wolf, mountain lions & etc.), prepared for rapidly changing weather, and should have the basic safety gear to get themselves and their equipment in and out of the woods. You will also need appropriate chemicals, clothes and wilderness techniques to avoid mosquitoes and ticks.
This Event will take place regardless of weather. This is outside the control of the Event Hosts, so we will just make the best of it.
Please watch this page for important information and any changes that may occur before the event.
