With the luck I've been having caching lately, you guys don't want me on your team!

So what are we bringing and what route are we taking?

I have the stove, two propane tanks for it (probably won't need even a whole one), and the large cooler (in addition to my own crap). Do I need to bring anything else?

What route are we taking? JT said last night straight down through IA then over and down again... Are we taking the shorter route back?

Did we decide for sure on the bikes?

How far from the route are we willing to travel to get caches? There are 70 caches within 1 mile of the route on the way down (from the border of MN/IA to the event itself)

It has a route w/70 caches on it. They are all within 1 mile of the route that S&T drew up for my address to the campground at Hawn State Park. Even though it is a route you can just use EasyGPS like you normally would. It will send all 70 waypoints and they will be accessable like any other cache info.

Now, you fancy fools w/your blinging GPSs that read extended info. This is only going to show the waypoint name. Sorry, S&T doesn't keep it as nice as a GPX from GC.com.

Let me know if that is acceptable.

I can bring a bow saw if we think it might be handy for cutting up kindling.

I plan to stop at AAA tomorrow (not AA) to pick up a set of tour books. If nothing else, they may help us find places to eat along the way.

I've got a bad headache tonight so I don't feel up to fiddling around with the gpx files but I'll check them out tomorrow.

And finally... The

weather forecast for Saint Louis later in the week is starting to look up!

As promised, I picked up some AAA tour books and road maps this noon. I know, I know, paper maps are obsolete, but I'd like to see you use your GPSr or laptop for kindling!
