My wife, kids, and I packed up to meet up with the crew at the camp site.

I was totally disappointed with the whole trip. After getting a late start, we got onto the island around 4:30. We opted to not take the truck accross and to rent a cart...(first and biggest mistake of the day.) The last ferry goes back to the main land at 11:30 but for some reason, the cart rentals close at 8:00. Makes no sense to me, since the ferry and the cart rentals are the same company.

We found three caches before heading to the camp site. This was about the only good thing that happened all day.

Once we got to the camp site, there was a sign that said "no golf carts"...This is where the big mitake comes into play.

Prior to leaving my house, I didn't write down the BBDs cell # or camp site #.(This was big maistake #2) When I got to the camp site I asked the park ranger where the Geocaching event was. (This was big mistake #3) He was entirely no help what-so-ever. He gave me one site number which I found out later was Bookisme's site, but he wasn't there. I walked around for a short time before giving up and heading out, the cart had to be back by 8:00.

I guess next year I will be more prepared.

Hope everyone had fun.

I guess we didn't hide the evidence very well.

I know that they say "what happens on the island, stays on the island," but we need to drum up publicity with showing what fun can be had at one of these island events!!!

I'll bet you never new that we had the cameras rolling!!!
