Hello Arizona Geocachers,
Thank you to all who organized the event cache in Tucson last =
Saturday. I am grateful for winning the new cache. I intend to place =
it this weekend at an interesting locationd a few miles off I-10 in =
Pinal County this weekend. It may be on top of a peak, but the =
elevation of this proposed location is less than Tucson's "A" Mountain =
and there are a couple of other caches available nearby in the =
surrounding lowlands.
During the event cache, I proposed organizing an event cache at =
Picacho Peak State Park in March, during the weekend of the Civil War =
battle reenactments. That would be the second weekend of March, March =
13-14, 2004. I organized a similar event for Arizona members of the =
Highpointers Club in March 2002. There is a large ramada in park, called =
Cholla Ramada, that one can reserve for the day that is suitable for =
groups of up to 50 people.
The proposed event cache would begin in the morning with a group =
hike to the summit of Picacho Peak where we would claim the cache on top =
of the mountain. We would then descend and meet for a barbeque and =
potluck picnic at Cholla Ramada. If you haven't hiked to the summit of =
Picacho before, then doing it with other experienced hikers would be a =
great incentive to complete the hike. However, even if you are unable =
to do the hike, you still welcome to attend the picnic at Cholla Ramada =
in the afternoon to claim credit for the event cache.
I called Picacho Peak State Park today and the person I spoke with =
told me that the Cholla Ramada is already reserved for Saturday, March =
13. However, it is available for Sunday, March 14. =20
Therefore, I would like to know from anyone who may be interested in =
attending this proposed event if holding it on a Sunday is a good idea, =
and if so,would be willing and able to come to Picacho Peak State Park =
on Sunday, March 14? Thank you.

We would in joy a day of hiking the park hope it works out.
