  Thanks Tim, 
  I just went back and added 2 logs to the 101 for the 2 caches we found.  
Kinda bummed out that the friend I took doesn't seem to have signed up, I'll 
try to find out this weekend if he decided it just wasn't his cup of tea of 
what his deal is.  He certainly seemed to enjoy himself last Saturday.

  Looking forward to the Picnic in May, many group caches, and helping with the 
2005 event at MSP.  Is MSP a confirmed location or still waiting on approval?

    Sara we are glad you had a good time! I think your idea about us wearing 
name tags is a good one. You will meet a lot of people helping/attending next 
years event at Meramec State Park.

    You should log the event one time for attending and then for how many of 
the three caches you found. If you found the micro and the ammo box log it a 
total of three times, if you found all three caches log it four times. Does 
that make sense!

      Some may very well disagree with my thoughts on this for various reasons 
but I'm going to throw it out there anyways.  Here it is a week after the 101 
even that I attended, and don't get me wrong I did have a great time and hope I 
don't come off sounding too demanding or whiney here.  As most of you know, 
I've been around this list since October even though I don't post a ton.  I 
learned some things about caching that I didn't already know and got some ideas 
for other things to carry with me that I hadn't yet added to my list before.  
Overall my only complaint would be that I ws kinda hoping to be able to at 
least put a few more names to faces.  For many people that hadn't been lurking 
here for a while I guess it wouldn't make much difference but seeing the names 
and emails all the time makes one curious.  

      In my case I walked away knowing who Rich, Glenn, and one of the Jim's 
(Dorkus & Co) were.  And thanks again Glenn for tweaking my GPS for me.  I 
gather that Bernie was the one in the SLAGA hat, only b/c I thought I 
remembered hearing he wore the crazy shorts at MIGC and saw a pic of him w/the 
shorts and hat on at the same time. Tonight I went back and was reading some of 
the logs from the 101 and realized there were a bunch of SLAGA people there 
that I would have liked to have met or at least had a chance to know their 
names so I could put them to faces.  I couldn't stay afterwords for the group 
cache (where I would have met some more SLAGA people I'm sure), as I had a 
tired 4 year old and also had to get her back to St. Charles by 4pm.  I plan to 
attend future events and group caches to get to know everyone better and enjoy 
some caching companionship and the 101 didn't change my thoughts on that at all.

      Also one quick question.....Was I supposed to log the 101 as found twice 
since I got two of the caches?  I only logged it once but then saw that some 
others had logged a find for each seperate cache they found.  Which method is 
generally accepted?

      Sara
