Hey guys,

Why geocache in La Crosse this weekend?  Because they have a bunch of caches, some of which are only available for a month with this Saturday being the last day.  There are also potentially prizes to be earned for finding the temporary caches (XM radio, GPS, a Radisson Gift Package, and others).  The original event cache listing that drew this to my attention is at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=gc1fmnc

Departure from my HOUSE will occur at 10 am, for anyone who wants to carpool.  Contact me for the address and driving directions if you need them.

The list of temporary caches is at http://www.lacrossesportscommission.com/documents/TemporaryCoordinates.doc .  I've plotted them all, see my Google map:

The list of permanent caches placed for the Fall Geocaching Tour is at http://www.lacrossesportscommission.com/documents/PermanentCacheCoordinates.doc
Regular geocaching.com links and info for the permanent caches can be found at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?u=bmeeter
We'll be chasing after whatever caches from these lists that you think sound interesting if/when we decide we're done with the temporaries.  It'd help plan a route if you had a chance to look them over and tell me what sounds good in advance.  

Dress for whatever the weather is forecasted to be, bring snacks, water, shoes/boots you don't mind getting muddy, and $ for lunch and/or dinner.  If anyone has a particular time they need to be back in Rochester by, please let me know.  RSVPs would be appreciated so I know who we're expecting to show up where.  Never geocached before?  Not a problem, we teach and occasionally remember to share our toys  ;)
