I heard about that...the name isn't exactly embedded in my brain yet. Give me a week.

Chris; Yes, it's stands for Meramec St. Park. And that is where we hope (not confirmed yet) to hold next years event. Apparently there was some confusion about the use of "competition" in the name and many felt it was not a family type event. That wasn't true so for next year (April 8-10, 2005) it will be called "Midwest Open Geocaching Adventure" or MOGA. We still will have competition or timed events, but as this year there will be plenty of caches to hunt and other "non competition" events and programs planned.

Whoa ho ho ho...MSP...Meramac SP? For what? The competition or the 101? ~Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: Sara Carter To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2004 10:08 AM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: A suggestion for future 101's (and any other introductory events) and a question too. Thanks Tim, I just went back and added 2 logs to the 101 for the 2 caches we found. Kinda bummed out that the friend I took doesn't seem to have signed up, I'll try to find out this weekend if he decided it just wasn't his cup of tea of what his deal is. He certainly seemed to enjoy himself last Saturday. Looking forward to the Picnic in May, many group caches, and helping with the 2005 event at MSP. Is MSP a confirmed location or still waiting on approval? Sara Tim & Pam <timpam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Sara we are glad you had a good time! I think your idea about us wearing name tags is a good one. You will meet a lot of people helping/attending next years event at Meramec State Park. You should log the event one time for attending and then for how many of the three caches you found. If you found the micro and the ammo box log it a total of three times, if you found all three caches log it four times. Does that make sense!

Some may very well disagree with my thoughts on this for various reasons but I'm going to throw it out there anyways. Here it is a week after the 101 even that I attended, and don't get me wrong I did have a great time and hope I don't come off sounding too demanding or whiney here. As most of you know, I've been around this list since October even though I don't post a ton. I learned some things about caching that I didn't already know and got some ideas for other things to carry with me that I hadn't yet added to my list before. Overall my only complaint would be that I ws kinda hoping to be able to at least put a few more names to faces. For many people that hadn't been lurking here for a while I guess it wouldn't make much difference but seeing the names and emails all the time makes one curious. In my case I walked away knowing who Rich, Glenn, and one of the Jim's (Dorkus & Co) were. And thanks again Glenn for tweaking my GPS for me. I gather that Bernie was the one in the SLAGA hat, only b/c I thought I remembered hearing he wore the crazy shorts at MIGC and saw a pic of him w/the shorts and hat on at the same time. Tonight I went back and was reading some of the logs from the 101 and realized there were a bunch of SLAGA people there that I would have liked to have met or at least had a chance to know their names so I could put them to faces. I couldn't stay afterwords for the group cache (where I would have met some more SLAGA people I'm sure), as I had a tired 4 year old and also had to get her back to St. Charles by 4pm. I plan to attend future events and group caches to get to know everyone better and enjoy some caching companionship and the 101 didn't change my thoughts on that at all. Also one quick question.....Was I supposed to log the 101 as found twice since I got two of the caches? I only logged it once but then saw that some others had logged a find for each seperate cache they found. Which method is generally accepted? Sara
