Geocache Description:

Stratton-Eustis Community Building, Stratton, Maine. ( The village of Stratton in the town of Eustis).

The fifth annual "Get Useless In Eustis" event will be held on Saturday, September 22, 2012 in Eustis, Maine. The Community Building (coords are for there) has been reserved for that day. It will open at 7:00 AM and breakfast cooked by Team Richards will be served shortly thereafter. The building will be open all day for hot coffee, cocoa, restrooms, a place to get warm. A potluck dinner will be held at 5:00 PM with door prizes after. This building has two restrooms, a large completely equipped kitchen, a stage, lots of tables and chairs. There will be a registration table (sign up for the door prize drawing). NO alcoholic beverages and PLEASE, NO DOGS, especially at meal times.

We have reserved the two large group sites at Cathedral Pines Campground, directly across the street from the main campground. That means you may camp for free Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Or you may reserve (and pay for) your own site in the main campground by calling 207-246-3491. The group sites have fireplaces, picnic tables and outhouses but you may use any of the facilities at the main campground. That has hot showers, flush toilets, a dump station for RVs, rec room, playground and a swim beach. You can also rent canoes and kayaks there. Alcoholic beverages and dogs are also welcome. The weather can be chilly so plan accordingly. There will be a campfire each night at the group site and all cachers are welcome to attend, camping or not. Not into camping? We have four motels and a B&B. Reserve early.

On Saturday at 8:00 AM, there will be at least ten new caches published with FTF prizes in them. You can cache from Kingfield to Rangeley, Stratton to Chain of Ponds, even into Quebec. Kayak, climb mountains, drive dirt logging roads, enjoy the foliage.

Saturday evening there will be a potluck dinner at 5:00 at the Community Building. Please bring something to share, meat dishes, casseroles, soups, stews and desserts of course. Crockpots are great for warming what you bring. Anything to fill up hungry cachers who have been out in the woods all day. If you can't bring something homemade, you can cook there or bring big jugs of iced tea, ice cubes, soft drinks or pick up a hot pizza or two. After dinner we draw for door prizes.

Come visit this lovely area, meet old friends, make new ones, talk shop, compare toys, kayak, hike, cache, watch campfires and just have fun.
