Just an FYI, looks like Halloween 2009 will happen but the logistics have yet to be worked out. Here are some notes I have so far..

- Cache density has grown tremendously this last year which will likely increase placement area.
- In order to make room for 2009, ALL remaining 2007 and 2008 caches will likely be pulled in the process.
- Placement in Dakota County parks will be very limited.
- The likelihood of seeing another toe-pincher-like bonus cache is pretty slim. We had grandiose ideas for this fall but will most likely be scaled way back.

- Last year KB offered Crosby Lake as the primary (or sole) hidey hole for 2009. As grateful as I am, I believe Crosby to be way too busy for the series, though it seems to be up there in the "scary" realm, if you know what I mean.
- I thought of going further south but that would most likely exclude more cachers rather than draw more cachers in.

Looking for ideas. Looking for "space donors". Heck, even looking for those interested in investing ideas, time or cash (spelled correctly) to the cause.

I know of a few great places in Lakeville (Northern and Southern) that are spacious, tucked away, and not used very much. PM me if you are interested in going that far down for any of the hides.

Personally we don't mind if they're out of town a ways - we vote to place them closer together to make it easier to get them all in one evening. We've had a lot of fun the last couple years doing them in the dark but spent a lot of time driving from cache to cache. Looking forward to the 2009 series!

I was looking at Party City and was getting some ideas. As far as areas I think that there should be plenty of area in Southern Scott county, largely Belle Plaine and Jordan.

Wonder if UMore Park in Rosemount would let you put caches in there?

So Halloween is just a couple of days away. Did you give up on the notion of Halloween caches this year Bflentje? They have been really enjoyable but it would be understood if you skipped it this year and stayed the heck out of Dakota Co. Parks....

( commit geo-cide and give up. )

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I WANT AT LEAST SOME FUN CACHES AROUND WHEN I MAKE IT HOME TO SEE THA FAMILY.

I look forword to seeing alot of new and interesting hides back home when I get the time off to visit.

There are not alot of caches here in town so I have tended to put off doing alot at once I will do a couple every month just so I get my fix.

But seeing Bart commit geo-cide would be just to depressing.
