Ahh... you caught that! We will have 20 in an area that will be published before the event so people can start caching at day break if they want. No waiting for waypoint downloads after competitors..

We did have 5 Kids caches that were not very far from pavement but, we have a great idea for next year! We were discussing some park and grabs since there are so many hunter/fisherman lots around the lake. Yes, you would have to drive to get to them, but, you could cache all day from your vehicle. We realized from the groans and moans of those coming off the trails that some would like a blend of easy / challenging caches. Next year we will accommodate! They will be challenging mentally but not physically. We will still have our 80 permanent caches that will be in the woods. Our motto has always been, and will remain... MOGA, it IS about the numbers, you just have to work for it... :-) If anyone got all 60 this year, they hiked over 15 miles.

I personally thought the layout was well thought out and that everything went smoothly. My only problem with the whole weekend is that I could not do any of the caches because I can not do that sort of uphill and downhill hiking. :( May I suggest having an easy course for those of us that are handicapped and can no longer do the hard core hiking and for families with small children to do. I don't go to compete but I would have loved to have been able to done some caching. Other than that I had a great time! Pntball and his brood camped with us and my friend FB1 from Md. camped with us and we all had a lot of fun. The weather could not have been better if we had special ordered it! For the staff, thank you so much for working so hard on pulling this off. I have planned and executed large functions before and I know how time consuming and difficult it is. You did a magnificent job and I thank you very much. I can't wait for next year. Life is way to short to take serious. ________________________________ You rock.
