2008 Cheboygan County Geocache Bash!

The 2008 Cheboygan County Fall Geocache Bash will be what we hope is our "First Annual" event. The Cheboygan Area Chamber of Commerce will be the main sponsor of this year's event. The event will be structured for both seasoned and new geocachers.

Event Date: September 27, 2008

The event will take place at the Cheboygan Chamber of Commerce. A "Geocaching 101" tutorial will be given by Tom LePage a.k.a. Cyclops later that morning at The Cheboygan County Fair Grounds, Bldg. 13 (N 45° 37.949 W 084° 28.610).

Event Outline

This event will be a combined outing for both new and seasoned cachers alike. It will feature a Geocaching 101 class to introduce newcomers to this wonderfully fun (and addictive) hobby at the Cheboygan Area Public Library, (N 45° 38.629, W 084° 28.840), 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. There will be two Poker Runs (one for beginners at Cheboygan County Fairgrounds and one for advanced out in the local area), a closest to the pin contest, a raffle, AND 50+ new caches to be published that day with great First To Find (FTF) prizes. And we'd be remiss not to mention the all important food and beverages. Also, if you have path tags, bring them along for potential trades.

The event will begin at 9:00 a.m. with registration at the Cheboygan Chamber of Commerce (N 45° 38.612 W 084° 28.643) and run until??? At the registration table you will receive your raffle ticket, closest to the pin flag (with instructions), and a listing of all the new permanent caches in the area. Note: There will be only one closest to the pin flag issued per team. Plenty of volunteers will be on hand following the Geocaching 101 class to assist and work with newcomers. After a fun-filled day of "hunting" we will regroup at 4:00 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce for awards, prizes and to quell those hunger pains.

2008 Fall Cheboygan County Geocache Bash geocoin.

The SAGeocachers are designing and producing an awesome looking collectable geocoin (non-trackable) for this event. We plan on selling them at the event for the fantastic price of only $5.00. But, supplies will be limited and on a first come first serve basis.

When confirming attendance, please include how many will be attending in your party to help us better plan for the event. We look forward to seeing you there and having a fantastic event.
