Chris and I are heading up Thursday morning super early and coming back on Route 66 Monday. Staying at Wingate in Maryland Heights. Plan on hitting the Brewery tour - Thursday, Zoo and World's Fair grounds - Friday, Cahokia Mounds ( a world heritage site), Arch, and Cardinals museum - Sunday.

Chris' (Pizzaboy2600) birthday is that Saturday, May 24th. So if you see him please wish him a very happy birthday. I'm a bit more addicted to this game than he is and I think it's super awesome of him to let us spend his birthday at Geowoodstock. :D

Guess everyone knows there is a chance of getting 12 different icons Saturday.

Are you counting Labcaches in that? I had 11, but hadn't thought of Labcaches. :D I probably won't get all 12, but it is super cool!

Flashmobs don't have their own icon. but at least we know that even though that brings the list to 11, Lab caches bump it back up to 12! :D

I don't know then, didn't think about that. This is on their fb page:


"At Geowoodstock XII you'll have the chance to find 12 different types of caches in one day. That will look great on your stats page!"

I don't know anything about lab caches. Guess I better do some reading.

That's the 12th one then. They said they'll be some lab caches there, but I need to do some more research before we leave next week. I've only done the Valentine's lab cache, haven't done one at an event yet. :D

Well, I am planning on dashing out for this - thats as much planning as I can do, going to have to make it up on the fly... leaving in the jeep Friday as soon as I can get off work, and will be headed out right after - planning on being back in LR Sunday afternoonish.

I wasn't going to be able to make it, but my commitment for the weekend change... so now I'm free to go!! Nothing like last minute planning.

Hope to see you all there at some point!

Looks like Mezzo and I will be at the Red Roof Inn Friday (late) and Saturday nights... we'll be headed back to the Rock Sunday early.

My wife and I are coming up to Jerseyville, Ill. after she gets off work Friday. Her Mom is in a nursing home there so will be a quick Memorial Day weekend trip to see her Mom and some of her family. I will only be able to come on Saturday but at least I will be able to say I've been to GeoWoodstock. I'll be bringing my Brother In Law along with me. This area is where I first got into geocaching 10 years ago. Unfortunatly another Brother In Law The Dizzy Bee who first got us into this great game has previous coaching commitments for his kids sports teams and will not be able to join us.

Sounds like a GREAT idea... i'll be there. Turns out Mezzo has to stay home (do GeoPups allowed in this part), but I think Ms. Savoy is going to come along and check this out!
See u there!

Hope everyone makes it home safely from GWSXII. I was really, really surprised at the turnout for Arkansas Cachers at the main event Saturday. Good Job Arkansas Geocachers! Hope to see you all in a couple weeks up at Fort Smith. P.S. I would love to go to Maryland next year for GWSXIII, anyone else?

Nice to meet some more of you Saturday! Just don't give a quiz if we see you again in a couple of weeks and I need a refresher! :)
