Speaking of the powerball..... Bear took our son over to a friends house one day. I believe it was one of those snow days we had last week. A couple of hours later I went to pick our son up. As I pull up to this house, I honk and of course no one hears so I have to get out and go to the door. On my way to the door and the end of the driveway at the street there is this yellow tennis ball. I reach down and pick it up and it says "Powerball" on it. He tried to slip it out, but I want one of those new GPS's too! So I brought it back to him. :) Bridget ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2004 6:16 PM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Someone like us!!

Below is a log from the KC Geocaching News page http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=14708 It looks like we have someone who likes the way we do things. Group caches, impromptu get togethers, and fun. We all enjoy ourselves and it's nice to see that Dufer recognizes that we all have fun, and that he enjoyed his time in Jeff city. Thanks Ed, for the plug! Rich February 8 by Dufer (114 found) Hello We started in Nov 2003 and have been having a blast! We traveled to Jeff city to the potluck and had lots of fun there too. One of the things that I have noticed is that the St louis geocachers have a blast! It was fun out running in to the groups (hoards) of geocachers on group cach. I joined their news letter and there is always some kind of chatter on it. I know it makes some mad because it fills their email boxes but I like to read through it.( theres good and bad with everything) While in Jeff City we met Brian and Carlin. We went to the breakfast in KC and had a good time! Got to put faces with names. With as many people as were at the breakfast I wonder why the KC side of the state isnt as active as the St Louis side is. They have sporradic group caching that seems to pop up with no good reason, they talk alot back and forth and have a good time with it.They even have a member who is comitted to buy everyone in the group a new garmin 60cs ( as soon as he wins the powerball) I see no reason why the KC side dosent do this? The most email activity lately had beed spurred by CCDAWG with the emails about TNLNSL. I would like to see a regular gathering ( CC's sounds great to me till we out grow that) where we could get together enjoy a little geocaching fellowship and maybe do some group caching. I live an hour north of Kansas City and to me it really dosent matter where we got together, because I am interested enough in geocaching that I would travel. I would like to see the KC emblem agreed upon and be able to wear it on stuff. Nice meeting all sat morning, and that was my 2 cents worth Ed
