$$$ oh yea, I remember. The state parks want something like a 2 mil
liability insurance policy covering the event participants. I bet that
would set an event organizer back something like $1100- to $1500.00 just to
get started. Not to mention all the upfront costs for porta-potie rentals,
pens, lanyards, pins. truck loads of firewood and other event trinkets.
Even at a few dollars a piece it is a loosing proposition. Free? I guess the
the geobash folks can make it up in volume.
I always wondered at what point "a big camping get-together" turns into "an
event needing insurance coverage. We have had picnics with 80 to perhaps 100
folks in the past. When RGS checked into forest park for the proposed
Geowoodstock-3 location, I believe insurance became an insurance then too.
I wonder what school picnics do? Covered under the schools insurance I
guess.

They came up with the idea after MIGC. They wanted a laid back approach with
the same appeal. I really wanted to go but I have plans for this weekend. As
with Geowoodstock, it seems to be more attractive when it's free. We
couldn't do anything like this because our State Parks wants $$$$ for
insurance if we even have a picnic and call it geocaching.
