+SEMIK Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Did you know that the very first geocaching event took place 10 years ago in Austin, TX on March 21, 2001 (GC389)? Events are one of the best ways to meet other Geocachers and share your stories, strategies and stuff (trackables/collectibles)! With all of the other 10th Anniversary events around the world, we felt the 10th Anniversary of the First Ever Event was worth celebrating!! As you know, everything's bigger in Texas so we didn't think it was enough just to hold one event, so we've posted several events to entice you to our cache-rich area for the whole weekend! We strongly recommend attending any or all of the additional events planned so that you can meet other Geocachers and then possibly do some caching afterward. The Events: Friday night at Ghost Town: http://coord.info/GC2PW51 Friday night at Waterloo: http://coord.info/GC2PNQM Saturday morning: http://coord.info/GC2PJWD Saturday afternoon: http://coord.info/GC2GA58 ("the" event) Sunday CITO: http://coord.info/GC2P4GV And what's an event without geocaches to find?? We have created a bookmark list for all the events as well as area caches: those hidden just for this event but also some of Austin's most notable geocaches! This bookmark list will be updated often as more caches are published leading up to the event. http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=098d658b-c650-453f-bd0a-4d498a73a3e8 Some of the notable geocaches in our area are the following: GC2B034 The Necropolis of Britannia Manor III, GCJCFM Night Mission: Doomspore!, GC1TFCY The Amazing, Incredible Smile Machine!, GC11847 What DNDJ Love About South Austin, GC1DX4T Bouldin Mosaic, GC12HH0 BridgeToTerabithia, GC1Z0P3 A Pirates Treasure Chest, GC1WHVV Mt. Bonnell, GC1AP68 Panther Hollow Junction Cache -- Just to name a few! They're all in the bookmark list mentioned above. Please join us in Austin for the main event on Saturday, March 26, 2011 from 1:00pm to 9:30pm. For more details, please visit http://geocachingaustin.com/ And PLEASE RSVP on the cache page at http://coord.info/GC2GA58 We look forward to seeing you! ~Central Texas Geocachers Quote Link to comment
