We had a fun time this weekend, for this weekend was the 3rd Annual Pokagon Cacher's Campout. They had various activities for the cachers, including some temporary (non-loggable) caches, a "reverse closest-to-the-pin" contest, and a Film Can Toss. And of course the requisite Potluck Dinner, raffle drawings and other assorted distractions.
The highlighted speaker of the day was Bill Houk from Leave No Trace, who did a great job at educating us on the " Seven Principles of Leave No Trace", why they exist, and how they could be applied to not only geocaching, but other forms of outdoor activities. (It helped that Bill himself is a geocacher, so he knows a lot of the challenges and opportunites that face geocachers).
We met up with Torry, who did his usual excellent job at providing humor, sociability and quite a few raised eyebrows. Anyone who knows Torry can just imagine the comments that were being made during the "human waste disposal" section of the "Leave No Trace" presentation...including comments about the "poop tubes". The nice ladies sitting in front of Torry were in a constant giggle-fit from his comments (thank goodness they found him amusing...)
After the dinner and so on, we followed Torry back to his campsite for some excellent homebrewed beer and socialization. Much fun was had by all, and we didn't get back home till around 11:30 pm.
VERY good day.
Sleepy now.
That's the consequences of a Very Good Day, I expect. Ah well. Thanks, Torry, for your hospitality.
