Just to prove we were there...

A closer view of the Brace & Rule Families
Saturday was Geowoodstock, the largest world-wide gathering of Geocaching enthusiasts. There were an estimated 5,000+ attendees at this years event, making it the most attended Geocaching Event thus far. For 2010, it was held at Remlinger Farms in Carnation, WA. The entire event seemed to run smoothly, with the exception of the food situation, and everyone appeared to be having a great time!
My only complaint from the whole day was the process of getting lunch. Luckily, we had purchased lunch tickets with our package to the event. The only other way to get ANY food, if you didn't pre-pay, was to purchase their lunch package @ $20 per person. Holy smokes! That's a lot for a hamburger and chips, especially since we had to wait for almost an hour in line just to get our meals in the first place. Very poor planning in that respect, but we went with the flow and still enjoyed ourselves.
We were also finally able to meet the Rule Family! Mike and Dave had the privilege of working the Crane Project in California together and formed a bond, like soldiers coming back from the war. Dave's lovely wife, Julia, and their two boys came out and joined us for the day, which was an added bonus! The kids played on the inflatables, the "boys" (Mike & Dave) played the GPS accuracy game and us women folk held down the fort. After the sticky cotton-candy faces were cleaned, the group pic was taken and a hay ride back to our cars, it was time to go have a nice dinner with our friends and crash back at the hotel.
All in all, another crazy, fun-filled day...
