located near Wheatland, CA where the Mega Geo Caching Event, Geo Woodstock VI, is taking place tomorrow. We arrived here Thursday afternoon, attended a small event in Wheatland that evening and drove down to Roseville today for the Friday Meet and Greet Event. These are pre-events before the "big-un". We saw a few people we knew from other places and met a few more that we only knew through their geocaching names on logs.
Following are a few pictures taken from last night and this afternoon. Last night we split a steak from Bill's Place...the bar was small and very, very crowded but the food was pretty good. We stayed for the door prizes and raffle but didn't win anything. Some Old Guy came up to me and introduced himself as "1whitevette"...........a new fan of mine!! I placed a cache in Corning that no one could find, he and his wife went home thought about it and then he drove about a 100 miles round trip to get his FTF! At both events we met up with "Rock" and "Crystal", middle picture, who are two of the main sponsors behind this event. Also talked to the "Retired Professor" who has the number one rating for caches placed in California. About 2 weeks ago he had placed about 680 and today he said his numbers were up to 705 or so placements. Along this line, he said he met a cacher from Florida who has placed 750 caches. Guess he's got more work to do!! Don't tell his wife; but, the Prof places a Two Dollar Bill in every cache for a FTF prize. Didn't get a pic of the Prof but he saw me and shot the breeze over one of my caches that took him several months to find until he finally asked for a hint. Strange how we remember names and faces. Leaving Roseville Becky took a picture of the gas prices....................I filled up twice at the AFB and the gas price rose 4 cents a gallon from yesterday until today.
Tomorrow we'll spend some time at the Big Event. Probably head for home Sunday or early Monday morning.
Later, W&B
