Not to make light of the event (which is pretty cool to have it sponsored
by a town), but the backpack toss made me chuckle. 23 illegals were taken
into custody south of Tucson after a lengthy pursuit in which the people in the
back of the pickup were chucking everything conceivable at the Border Patrol
agent. Spare tire, backpacks, camper shell, and I just had this visual of
a bunch of cachers racing down the highway chucking backpacks for a
contest. I don't know...maybe it's the 48-degree air that made me loopy
tonight.

Beatty Geocaching Rendezvous
Hello Arizona geocachers,
We were really hoping to get some positive
responses from AZ cachers about this event. It is the FIRST event that I know
of that is actually sponsored by a town. Even though you don't see much when
you drive through Beatty, there are some truly scenic backroad areas to
explore. There will definitely be games and prizes worthwhile (best Poker Hand
is $200 cash and a trophy). There will be a backpack toss and a contest for
most unique cache container, so bring your containers to enter! Other games
yet TBA!
There will be many, many caches to find. I
personally have hidden 16+ that will come up the morning of the event to
guarantee fresh caches, many FTFs and travel bugs..even some YJtbs.
Other cachers are hiding caches, Beatty Chamber of Commerce Members are
hiding caches and there are many that were already within the
area.
Hoping to see smiling AZ faces..
DR Webe
PS Beatty is no where near Reno, just 116
miles north of Las Vegas, so its not that
far.
