Maui GeOhana - January 2010

By: Tracer Bullet Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Other

When we moved back from California, we were thinking there wouldn't be too many geocaching events on Maui but we're glad there's a monthly event here on Maui. We arrived late but had fun talking to the other local cachers, as well as visiting cachers. Thanks TracerBullet for holding this event. Mahalo!

GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit - Putnam Museum

By: Groundspeak Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

We had already seen the exhibit when it was in CT, but since it was so close to where we were staying, we decided to see it again. This time, we brought Jenn's aunty Betty along with us to see what geocaching was all about. She had fun walking around the maze and it was just as confusing to go around the maze as it was in CT. Had a nice chat with 8nuts MotherGoose about caching and walked around the Putnam to check out the other exhibits as well.

Sand and Smores, Summer No More II

By: Hula Bum & Kealia Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

5:30ish Once again, a great beach/bonfire/smores event. We ate yummy spam musubi and smores. Great conversations, playing Blongo Ball, LED Frisbee, starting the fire without using matches or a lighter, techno music coming from a boombox, clapping/singing/shouting circle next to us. Too bad we missed the police intervention, not! Mahalo to Ron and Stacey for organizing the event. We'll miss these when we move back to HI.

GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit - Discovery Museum

By: Groundspeak Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Other

12:30pm We were on a tour of New England, eventually driving down to PA. This was on our way so we had to make the stop since we're from CA and who knows when this exhibit will make its way to the West Coast. Very cool exhibit, very informative to muggles. We did the maze, getting confused about where to go at times but did manage to make it through. My end location was Mumbai, India. Mahalo for the new icon too!

Summer... I scream, You scream, We all scream.

By: nielsenc Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

We arrived at 4:15pm, knowing that the time had been changed to 5pm, but hoping that the ice cream was already there as it was really HOT! But no luck, first ones there. The ice cream eventually got there and boy was it delicious. Thanks Christian for the fun event! And happy summer to everyone!

After a day of caching we arrived at about 6pm to find the event still going strong. We got to meet cachers we've known for years but only by email so it was nice to finally meet face-to-face. It was a fun event, can't wait till tomorrow for the BIG event! Mahalo to the organizers and volunteers!

By: BADGES Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

I went into work early today so I took an extra long lunch to attend the event. Lots of great conversation and yummy pizza and pastrami sandwiches. We've been registered for GW6 for a while now, although I have to go check to see if I added a Will Attend to GW6. Thanks again for a fun lunchtime event!

Meet & Greet Groundspeak & Garmin in the Bay Area

By: Signal the Frog Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

We had a great time attending the event today although I wish there had been more Colorados to go around. Didn't even get to touch one of them. But it seems like a cool game. Don't have the $$$ to buy one of them so guess I'll live vicariously through others. We did have an enjoyable talking to all our caching friends, including some we haven't seen for a while. Mahalo!

Fall Classic Meet & Greet

By: southbayday, Nielsenc Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Large

We got there a bit late and there was only one piece of pizza left. We were about to share it, when reinforcements were brought. Yeah! We had a bit to eat, had some good conversations and were "Lucky Losers" too, although we did find a Great Geo-Pumpkin geocoin later, so we're also winners! Mahalo to the organizers for the great time!
