Other Cool Stuff:
For our Good Park officials and ourselves pictures were taken before the
geocaching stampede of the eleven poker run caches sites and after the event
was over while taking them out and will be done one more time after 30 days
to see if any permanent damage was done to the areas leading to and from the
caches to know if they regain there life for future events like this where a
lot of people would make a geo-trail in one day. Will let you know later.
"Yeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee NO DAMAGE was done"
From the bottom of my heart thanks for everyone that came and for helping
out... JOE
