If you read my log on the cache page...then this pretty much says the 
same thing.
But I just wanted to share the experience with those of you not able to 
make it!

The turn out exceeded our expectations!  We had 90 people come through 
the museum today.  All but 4 participated in the geocaching event one 
way or another!  And we had so many newbies who saw the articles and 
wanted to find out what this was all about.  Let just say that all that 
"negative publicity" brought out many people wanting to learn!  Thanks 
to Kristy and the Pueblo Grande for supplying the Archaeological Site 
Etiquette sheets (Steve (Team Tierra Buena) and I both grabbed extras to 
put in caches.) and the cool carrabener/compass prize!

We also had good discussions with people representing Site Stewards and 
BLM...a good dialog has been started and will continue, hopefully 
leading to a mutual understanding!

I had the opportunity to take an 8 year old boy out and let him use my 
GPS.  This was the highlight of my day!  He was so excited and curious!  
I think he will be geocaching very soon!

But my thanks to everyone who came out and made this a success, Kristy 
and the Pueblo Grande, and Steve-for his time and help!
We look forward to doing this event again...once it cools down!
