Annoyed
I’ve written letters to a bunch of mayors and companies asking permission to hide caches but have not heard back from a lot of them. I think that its rude. If they don’t want to participate in this project they could be nice and let me know. K

Events
Geocaching has three types of “events” – or reasons for a group of geocachers to get together:
· Event caches are when local geocachers get together for either a specific purpose or to just discuss geocaching.
· Mega-Event is similar to an event cache but is a much larger event – attracting geocachers from all over the world to a specific location.
· CITO, or Cache In Trash Out, is when a group of geocachers meet at a specific location where the primary goal is to pick up trash in a specific area.
A regular event is being held on Saturday, September 18th at the Timber Creek Park in Chews Landing. Earlier this week I had hid a cache at St. John the Evangelist Church and two at Timber Creek Park. I hid another one today. The CO (cache owner) holding this event is happy that the people coming to his event will have some caches that they can find while they attend this event (the event is being held to raise money to donate for cancer research for dogs).

Cache Containers
There are all kinds of cache containers. Originally we wanted to only use the lock-n-lock containers that we camouflaged. But sometimes these bigger boxes don’t work. So we got tiny magnetic containers that are called a “nano”. We also bought magnetic “hide a key” containers. K
