Barbara,

Thats a reasonable thought really,

It can even be on a different day too if another part of the STL area wants to do something, and going all the way to this park on this day does not fit in their plans.

With nearly 160 "Active" members in SLAGA (a little less really, leaving out the out of towners and such) and just the few signed up on the CI-TO event page there are a lot of folks left over that may want to do something elsewhere closer to their homes. Maybe far South West and OR Waaay out in St Peters would be good alternate spots if anyone were so inclined. I think there would be enough peoples left over for those.

I was surprised that with (up to) 160 members, the turnout for real *helpers* was as slim as it was last Saturday when RGS needed help working the Geocaching program for the Parks Department. No matter what the event, most people will have better things to do and you will not be able to please all. We have noticed, if you really want to boost attendance, offer a bunch of free food ( I like BBQ) and we will have trouble keeping up with the crowds! I think that is where we went wrong last Saturday.

Geocachers like to eat :-)

BTW: I wont be able to make to the event either. I have some caching to catch up on.
actually, i'll be working or i'd be there. (to eat)

Larry,

I don't know what kind of messages you deleted from the cache page, but I
would ignore them if I were you. By last count it appears that we'll have 10
or more participants. If people object to the location, date or just the
idea of picking up trash, let them do their own thing. You can't please
everyone. No one else has come up with any different ideas that I have seen.
I'm sure we'll have a good time and hopefully present another good
impression to the general public as well as the county parks.

Thanks. You're right, if anyone wants a different event, they are more than welcome to plan it.
Barbara
