Who is Coming?

[Boatwrench]

For all the curious readers that haven't been to this event I just want to say this is a premier fun event that the whole family can participate in. If you can only get one event in this one should be considered.

Now that it's been hyped, regretfully say I'll miss this annual event for the 1st time. :tears:
That weekend will be away in Florida with the 3 grand children.

[rightseatsis]

I know Boatwrench is tied up, but I am going to try to come.

I will be there......not just because I have to. I really enjoy it. I am excited to head back to the Uinta moutains again. Looking forward to the snow to melt so we can start placing caches.

[MTNTECH]

I'm going, in Aug it will be nice and cool up there, chance to get out of the heat.

What info are you looking for? I can give you a brief description or you can look at the past events.

geostash 08

We would love to have you. We should get some more information on here soon.

[tuxxj]

I'm planning on being there.

[nochance9]

Just where it is, how much, how long, what do we do. I've never been to a NAXJA event before so i really don't know what to expect.:rof:

I'm hoping someone gets and infor page up soon but I will give you a short description...

We base camp at Sliders ranch which is about 15 miles south of Evanston Wy on Hwy 150.

In the mountains surrounding that area there will be 20 caches hidden full of playing cards. Each cache will have a set of GPS coords. The idea is to dig a card out of five or more caches and make a poker hand. On Saterday we have a big dinner and compare poker hands. Then we have some very nice prizes to give away. Last year every single poker hand got some sort of prize.

You don't need to have a GPS either, you can buddy up with someone who does.

Here is a link to our 2007 Geostash. There you will find all the info of that event which will pretty much be the same as this year.

Too early for me to know right now...

[ChrisRFewell]

I guess this is a camping event right?

Is it possible to go just to tag along and ride?

If so who is willing to show me around? lol

Yes

Yes

and probably about everyone. We are a super friendly bunch.

[rightseatsis]

Well unfortunately not I. Could not get the time off of work. I was really looking forward to another adventure back there.

Anyone who can get the time off should really try and come to this event. It is a lot of fun.

Will the people unable to attend be able to buy a hand or 2?

[DrMoab]

What are we going to do with out you two???

It's going to be a weird Geostash without the Tom and Mary family.

[Magus2727]

I am going to be out of town (flying out to Michigan for 10 days to be up in the upper peninsula)

I was really looking forward to this one ( I was actually going to have MT tires, a CB and even perhaps a GPS.....)

[IntrepidXJ]

If my Jeep is still in working condition (9 day expedition planned for Aug 1-9) I will try to make it up there for the weekend....but I cannot commit until the week before....but I really want to get up there this year, and that weekend is free for me

You should. It would be good to see your ugly mug and we can show you a good time. Promise.

[XJBANKER]

This event is getting closer. Who is planning on being there?

[David B.]

I might try and make this one. I cannot promise I won't disappear and head over to my cabin before the event ends. It is over by Blacks Fork, about 15 miles East of the Mirror Lake highway past the boy scout camp.

Mine is in Uinta Lands a couple of miles before bear river service and it is hard to camp when a nice warm bed is so close, but I think that we are going to camp this year instead of being at the cabin.

My wife keeps telling me we need to "rough it more" and teach the kids how to camp, but it is just so darn hard to do with all the amenities of home right there at the cabin. I will eventually teach the kids how to set up a tent (right in front of the cabin:))

[ChrisRFewell]

I will be there with my jeep or just my truck..not sure. Ill be there just to hang out and ride. wnyone have an open shotgun seat?

I would suggest you not plan on just bringing the truck. They call them the rocky mountains for a reason and the roads are NOT built for stiff sprung diesel trucks.

[IntrepidXJ]

Back from 9 days on the trails.....my Jeep is still in one piece, but making a few new noises.....drove home great on the highway, so I'll work on checking it over the next few nights to I can head up there Friday after work.

[XJumpmaster]

We'll be heading up Friday after work. Save a big RV spot for us!

[Mrs Moab]

I can't wait!! I can't wait!! I can't wait!!

[LostSoul]

[ROOK1]

Maybe Sunday. If so I'll be there for dinner.

[Mrs Moab]

Just come up. I'm sure there will be plenty of room. I know Tobe would love someone to share his space with.

[Mrs Moab]

I think the dinner is on Saturday.

[ROOK1]

What day is the raffle? err drawing? err show 'em your cards day?

Edit: Just read the planning for dinner thread. Looks like it's really a 2 day event so probably wont be making it.

Edit again: BlackBerry and brain aren't synced. Probably be there Saturday for dinner with 1 to 4 people.
