N 39° 09.381 W 075° 31.406 In Dover.  As I stared at the weather maps with the rains and clouds moving across the First State, I wondered how The Frog and Jennifer were going to fare with this event.  my ride arrived and we made the hour long trip southward from PA.  We passed through a few showers along the way and were all speculating on if we would need the rain gear we brought along.

    As we arrived at the coordinates, we were relieved to have it cloudy, but not raining!!  We spotted the cachers milling about and went to meet them. We traded stories and signed the log sheets and best of all, caught up on some friends caching stories...  At 1:00 Runfrog called the Event to order and we began... FTF was handed out (an ammo can) and then other prizes, a "light lunch" (candy)was handed out, then it was time to head across the street for our group picture to document all of us being there.

    After the picture and more story trading... we gathered to answer the "Vote for LSD" question.  Garmin's and a Magellan were compared for their time stamps. To our surprise, each of the GPSr's showed different times.  This is only  a matter of a few seconds, not worthy of a comment if someone is finding a business, car in the woods or the way home.  But if you're in the woods, looking for a small cache, the "error" could throw the location off by a "few extra feet".  not much for an experienced cacher, but it could prove interesting for a beginner.  Which was more accurate? We decided to leave it, as one of the great unknowns....  Use either manufacturer's - both will help you to enjoy this Great Hobby!!!!!  Some of the participants met up afterword for lunch at "Where Pigs Fly" for a great lunch.

    Thanks again to all who helped with the event.. and thanks to JenniferQp and Runfrog, for another chance to meet with our friends!!!
