I thought I was the only one!! I had pretty much the same dream!! It must be a sign absolutely. So I declare we make it so! A Picnic on October 12th it should be. I also had strong visions of Green Felt in my dream. That puzzled me until now and I think it means only one of two things. *** The location. *** I didn't have a location in my dream, just lots and lots of GREEN FELT. So I hereby declare the location of the picnic to be one of two hidden places and I shall let everyone choose which is the correct interpretation of my GREEN FELT visions. Our choices of our GREEN FELT picnic could be: 1) Bob's Billiards and Pool Paradise in Festus, or 2) The Greenfelter Park in Eureka. (Bob's Billiard hall has some mean wings on Thursday nights.) I am sure the dream can be unraveled correctly. I shall bring baked beans and some portions of a meaty dish. I think I shall BBQ my meaty portions on a grill either behind the beer coolers at Bobs or a large pit at the park. I see more people in my dream so lets make it so. Noon till whenever is good. It gets busy at the billiard hall later in the evening, so I would suggest an early-ish start. I like our dream..

It was Sat., Oct. 12th, the day of our fall SLAGA picnic. It is a beautiful fall day at ***** Park. Everyone who said they would show up - does. The display of food that everyone brought to share looks so inviting that we all want to start eating right away. But we know the day is still young and events are planned that will help work up an appetite. The kids have built up so much energy in anticipation of the Kid's Cache Hunt, that it can't help but start ahead of schedule. Some adults are scurring about to help them work the GPSR and figure out the clues, while others sit and chat about recent caching adventures and look at old cache log books and geocaching picture albums. The BBQ grills are ready and the meat is cooking. Everyone gathers around the picnic tables and start to fill their plates. A little while later, there are some formal introductions, some recognition of achievements and awards presented. The winners of the raffle are determined and awards handed out. Some people find a nice shady tree to take a nap, but the kids seems to keep on playing catch and throwing frisbees with no end in sight. People start to gather to discuss the placement of the picnic cache, while others find comrades to head out and find some caches in the area they haven't found yet. The sun now sets on a few die-hard cachers who are debating whether or not chiggers exists, and who will be the next one to reach 1,000 finds. I woke up from the dream with a sense of determination that all that transpired is easily within the realm of reality of we all want it to happen. At the very least, it happened for me ... in my dream.
