As long as there isn't a snowstorm The Cat (John) and I would like to join the 
group. It sounds like lots of fun! Let us know the details.

At the SLAGA Christmas Party, a group of us (mainly Gerhardus, Lancelot, and 
myself but several others have expressed interest) decided that it was time for 
another caching road trip. Perhaps other cachers from the St. Louis area would 
like to go with us in one form or another. Gerhardus (John) suggested caching 
the Quad Cities of Davenport, Iowa, Moline, Illinois, Rock Island, Illinois, 
and Bettendorf, Iowa. The number of caches in the Quad Cities is exploding and 
we think that area is ripe for a good old fashioned numbers run. The dates for 
this cache run happen to be December 28, 29 and 30, 2007. We will be back in 
time for New Yearâ??s Eve at home. The tentative plans call for leaving the St. 
Louis area sometime during the day on Friday, caching our way through 
Springfield, Illinois and then over to the Quad Cities area. Once in the Quad 
Cities area, we plan to stay at a hotel near our first Saturday cache, cache 
all day Saturday, stay overnight at the same hotel, and
 then cache our way back on Sunday. I ran a pocket query for the area using 
these options:

Give info for 500 caches

Cache Types: Only Traditional, Virtual, Letterbox Hybrid, Webcam, and 
Earthcaches. (Yes, there ARE a couple of Earthcaches!)

Caches of any container

Return info on caches that I havenâ??t found (Which is all since I have not 
previously cached in that area.)

Terrain: less than or equal to 2.5
Difficulty: less than or equal to 3.0

Caches centered on waypoint: GC15772 (An Earthcache!)

Again, anybody free and wanting to go are welcome to join us for the fun. I 
think a realistic goal of the trip would be a hundred cache finds or more. Let 
me know if you are interested joining us.
