The first GSD of MSP Geocaching Event was held today at the Afton State Park. VP and event co-ordinator Julie Swinland performed her usual awesome can-do job managing the event. What a fantastic day to be out in one of our many beautiful state parks with our four legged companions. We gathered together in the parking lot around 9:30am, once collected the fourteen of us(7 bipeds ;-) headed out on the first of four legs. We received many a warm smile and compliments from the other park goers we met along the way. After completing the fourth and final leg around 11:30, we headed back to the parking and picnic area for a nice little bar-b-que lunch. I brought two of our girls for the exercise, 10 year old Ch. Pip and her daughter Fanny. I thought at that age she would be nice and gentle on our club treasurer, Mada - NOT. Pip, recalling her show days, wanted to be leading the crew and Fanny had to be tucked right in behind her. Look for another of these tee'd up in the early fall We're thinking about laying out two GPS tracks of the same distance and splitting the group into two teams to see who can complete the course first. I wonder what the wager should be................ What will be in the cache's - something fun and desirable.............hmmmmm Anyhow, another great GSDC of MSP event Look for a more complete story in the Shep-o-gram and on our website under the events tab.
