Going either East or West/North on 270 (255), I would take the Lindbergh exit and use the outer road which exits at the traffic light on Telegraph. Then left and up to the park. I've never taken 255 West/north and exited at Telegraph, so maybe Dave or Steve can shed some light on coming from the IL side. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Bensman To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 9:15 PM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Potluck and Cabin Fever What is the status of I-255 and Telegraph RD? If it will still be closed some info on how to get around the closure on the cache page would be nice.

I was thinking anyone who had good stuff to get rid of could place it on a table for whoever wanted it. Maybe each item could be, say $2, and it would go to SLAGA. It could be anything from computer stuff, odds and ends, Dodge Diesels, etc. Obviously anything that was left must be taken back home by the "bringee" since there is no way of disposing anything in the park. We can have a coin and travel bug table too as long as someone will volunteer to set it up and manage the TB's. It seems that at every event there are TB's that get taken but never logged out of the event. Then the event host gets the emails from the TB owner wondering what happened to their TB. I'd think we need to keep an inventory of each TB with an entry on who brought it, it's destination, and who actually picked it up for a drop off in a cache. At least we'd have a record of who had the TB last. Other plans are bingo that Mariel had set up at the fall picnic. This was a great ice breaker for everyone to have a chance to talk with both old and new cachers. The days of pocket caches are gone and I think this is actually a better way to greet the other cachers. I'm sure there will be several new permanent caches placed the day of the event along with the existing caches already in the park. Because of the weather, it may be hard to plan any outside activities. Any other ideas? Rich
