Geobash coins are now available to preorder.

Please Note: This is a preorder for the 2010 ASPGeobash V Geocoin. This Geocoin will not ship from Geoswag.com. This Geocoin will need to be picked up at the Bash. You are able to order other items with this Geocoin and we will ship those items now. Only the ASP Geobash Geocoin will be held until the event.

Wow only a week away.   Who all is planning on going?   I am leaving Thursday night.  I would really like to do 101 Dalmations on Friday.  Want to do the 100 stars in a day cache.   If anyone one wants to meet up or anything, post a reply.     If not your loss!   If so, see ya there!!!

RicochetInfinity and I plan on leaving early Friday morning but caching our way there, so we should get there in the afternoon some time.

And arranging meetups now IS a good idea as cell phone reception is not completely reliable at ASP :)

I just registered on this site today, but my wife & I spent the weekend at ASP. Had a great time & found a lot of caches. Anyone who didn't go sure missed out on a lot of fun!

I agree with Protrucker, this was my first Mega and it was a blast!  I think I may even have done one of the night caches with Protrucker Friday evening.  Hard to keep everyone straight with all the new folks I met over the weekend.

Welcome to the forums, Protrucker and monahmat!
Yes, the mega event (or double-mega?! since we passed 1,000 this year) is certainly a unique event. I had a good time again this year.

Yes, I was planning on harassing you: Didn't you hear them say ''Everyone move in"? :D

You may notice that when you talk to me that I always look you right in the face - I read lips. I have real bad hearing. I cannot hear smoke detectors go off. Belt squeal in a vehicle, what is that? Mostly I have high frequency loss. But I did hear the command and was standing in the back, at the last moment I ordered Team Broughton to move up! :) My twin nephews Nathan and Tyler plus my son Frank Jr are standing around me. They had a GREAT time!

@Lisa, I spend that dollar on the way home.. big dummy me - I need your shirt tracking number again! :)
