We didn't even think of that. If newbies are going with Belle Isle vets, they might not be able to find all the caches.
Guess all the new Isle cachers can probably gang up when there. Or bribe those who found last year's caches.

That was a concern of mine too. I spoke with our chauffeur, he said he is "more than willing to revisit the old ones".TeamMina wrote:armygreenx wrote:Amanda and I are wondering if anyone has room for two.

Re: Detroit/Belle Isle Year VI
Generally, you will be within 300 ft. Or so of an older cache anyhow, so visiting older ones is quite easily accomplished with minimal leg work

That is very true and with a previous finder along the hunt should not be extensive.RustyNail09 wrote:Generally, you will be within 300 ft. Or so of an older cache anyhow, so visiting older ones is quite easily accomplished with minimal leg work

Re: Detroit/Belle Isle Year VI
Another suggestion learned from last year is a.) Break for lunch early, running out of plates/hot dogs is possible 2.) Take a dish to share, it is much appreciated

Re: Detroit/Belle Isle Year VI
Also don't wait till 2:00 to get the list of caches or the download and bring you own working cable.

Re: Detroit/Belle Isle Year VI
Don't expect too many hints though. Last year I was with Nurse Nanna, South Lyon Trekkers, Team Maddog, and Othum. We practiced Canadian driving a lot and I spent a good amount of time laughing the afternoon away so I don't remember the surroundings too well.TeamMina wrote:Glad to hear that!Handyman-N-Fam wrote:That was a concern of mine too.

Oh and for those of you who are not familiar with the term "Othum-friendly," which will be referenced in several caches, it refers to a cache in the 3-5 foot range, because as Othum will tell you, "Othums don't bend in middle."
