- I'm about to back out. We are leaving in the morning and plans still have not been made on who carpools with who and who sleeps with whom. I don't want to get stuck with paying for a room of my own and I would have liked to share the gas with 2 or 3 other people.

I hope everyone had a Happy Holiday! Just wanted to give all interested folks a status update from the Quad City Cache Runners planning committee regarding the Quad Cities Cache Run trip. Here goes: 1) Meeting and Starting Location of the Cache Run- Place: N38 45.702 W90 00.561 (Park N Ride 157 and 270) Take 157 North off of I-270. There are 2 lots. Do NOT use the one on the Right (East) by the cemetery. The one we will meet in is on the Left (West). It is a big lot. Date: Friday, 12/28/2007 Time: 10:30am Several of us would like to carpool to the cache area so we would like to know who all is definitely planning on going with the group. You are more than welcome to go on your own, but please email me directly if you plan on going with group so that we can work out who is driving and who is navigating. Also, if you want (or were planning) to go and the time does not work for you, please contact me. 2) Food (Just for Nancy's sake...even if she's not going. Food plans before caching plans--always!) Breakfast and Dinner (after dark once we finish caching for the day) at area restaurants Lunch -- Bring your own in a cooler or brown bag (In other words, we are not planning to make any special stops for food for lunch) 3) Oh the weather outside is frightful... Since the forecast for the Quad Cities area is snow on Friday, we are developing a Plan B as an alternative to Plan A. I will post whether we go with Plan A or Plan B to this very newsgroup within the next 24 hours. Call it a "game time decision." The starting location mentioned in point 1 will not change regardless of which plan is used. Plan A: Quad Cities as originally planned Plan B: Evansville, IN (slightly better weather forecast) 4) Plan A: Quad Cities Starting cache on Sat: GC12772 Suggested hotel: American Motor Inn (4300 11th St, Rock Island, IL) $39.99 a night and very close to starting cache location 5) Plan B: Evansville, IN Starting cache on Sat: GC133TW (I guess, that was the first cache to come up on my PQ of Evansville, IN) Suggested hotel: ??? Don't know yet... 6) Pocket Query Info for either plan: -500 caches -Cache Types: Only Traditional, Virtual, Letterbox Hybrid, Webcam, and Earthcaches. -Caches of any container -Return info on caches that I haven't found AND caches which are active -Terrain: less than or equal to 2.5 -Difficulty: less than or equal to 3.0 -Caches centered on waypoint (depends on the plan): either GC12772 or GC133TW Ok, information overload... hope to hear from you soon and we will see some of you on Friday! -Jeff, the Blue Bead Man -Jeff, the Blue Bead Man **************************************** For List Info or To make _ANY_ changes, including unsubscribing from this list, click -----> //www.freelists.org/list/geocaching Missouri Caches Scheduled to be Archived http://tinyurl.com/87cqw -- No virus found in this incoming message.
