'Preliminary' party survey results indicate that May 18th is the leading preferred date. Would the Barramus mansion be ready in time if that's the date chosen? If it rains, could we still have the party in your garage? (let me know if you need help cleaning it out). If everyone who answered the survey showed up, we'd have a head count of 26. Who is the decision committee? Are you ready to select a date and publish the information sometime next Wed (May 15)? Who wants to create and publish the maps to 'no-man's-land'? Where should we position the maps and results on the www.geostl.com web page? Noone has talked about hiding the party cache - I think we should plant it before the party and give people the opportunity to find it beforehand. I know that RGS and Barramus have hiked the LaBarque Hills area and there isn't a cache there yet. Maybe a few of us who haven't been out there should go on a scouting outing?! Whenever the party is, I can bring some ice chests with ice to help keep things cold. We have about 6 folding chairs we can bring. If anyone has card tables or such for placing food or eating off of, that would be helpful. Those who marked the survey as 'whatever we need' might want to consider napkins, plates and utensils, since those items haven't been spoken for. We'll see in a few days what we still need. ************************************************************************** Our NEW WebPage!
