We've been home for a bit, just getting around to logging it now though. Thanks so much for a great event, we had a good time. We sure wish we were still down there though...we got back to Canada to about 16 inches of snow!! What a shock to the system after the temps in Arizona while we were there. We'll see about next year.

I have to say this was one fabulous event!! This was my first event cache. I had an excellent time, even with all the scorpions and bugs!! The events were great, 1313 Dead End Trail was more than I expected, it was awesome, thanks to Team GPS Saxaphone for letting me tag along with their clan (I guess I need to have my husband teach me how to use that GPS, huh!!). Thanx to all who put this on, and the sponsors that donated such awesome prizes. I look forward to the next one.

Thank you Tamo, Brian of Team AI, and everyone else involved with organizing this event. The time and effort of putting this all together really shows...a job very well done. It was nice to finally meet some of the fellow cachers whose logs we've read over the last few months on our geocaching adventures. See you same time next year!

Ehhh...I've seen better...

But seriously, we had a great time and look forward to the next event like this one.

Special thanks to all the people (credited and otherwise) who put forth the amazing effort to throw this shindig. I'm sure it was not cheap and the admission cost couldn't have come anywhere near the actual cost incurred. Thanks also to the great sponsors that donated the prizes, especially Magellan for that most spectacular grand prize.

You guys sure know how to host an event! Thanks for your hospitality for some out-of-towners that ended up being the only ones dressed funny for the event. The contests were a blast, we even won one! Thanks also to the sponsors, that added a lot to this already fun night. Glad to meet several Arizona cachers, including a future saxophonist, one of the StringCachers!

A wonderful time! This was Team Smallville's first event cache and it was great! The little members of the team couldn't wait to go on the Ghoulies Revenge and the 1313 Dead End Drive events. We met lots of people of whom we only knew by team name from the Geocaching website. Thank you very much for those who put this on and for the fabulous actvities and food! We hope Halloween Radioactive part 2 is in the works for next year! We will be there!

This was one way cool event! To all the gang that put this together, thanks very much! My family had a great time! With black light real scorpions, spider wrapped mummies, great food, wonderful people, kids games, face painting, prizes, black lights, a grave yard, and just plain fun, what more could be asked?

And, sorry for blinding you all with my flash, I have yet to figure out exactly how to tone that thing down.

What a great event! We had so much fun, including the added bonus of looking for scorpions with our black light. Had a great time with Dead End Trail. I can't wait until next year for a repeat of the trail. It was a great event, and now we are tired from the fun. Thanks for the event and the prizes we walked away with.

Thanks to all the teams who planned and executed this great event. My middle daughter and I had a great time and are still amazed at the awesome Magellan Color we won!!! I think she's now hooked on caching and has won bragging rights over her sister for coolest item found at a cache. It was also nice to have met more cachers we have only read about.

Again, many thanks to those who set up this event and the sponsors.

We had a wonderful time! Lots of thought went into this event. We were quite impressed. We brought along a couple of friends & introduced them to Geocaching; they talked about buying a GPS & Geocaching the whole way home.

We also got to log Geocoin 5...thanks, ~del Mar~!

We will definitely be looking forward to next year's event!!!!! Thank you!!!

What a spectacular event! I especially want to thank the entire teams of Tamo, Brian (AI), Aus Dem Kasten, Copy Cache and the many volunteers who I know spent months organizing and putting on this event. You did a great job that I know all of us are thankful for. I also want to thank all of the sponsors who helped by donating so many prizes. I'm sure we all look forward to next years event.

It was a pleasure seeing so many of the regulars again and meeting so many new people! I enjoyed our conversations! I was impressed to find out that there were several visitors from out of state!

I left a USA Geocoin and took the opportunity to record another USA Geocoin. I signed the log at 8:20 P.M.

Thanks again,

There may be four of us. I don't think we'll come for the supper, and I'm not sure if we'll show up at all. We're not used to this heat and we're all tired today after wandering around in it for a few hours. I can't do any better than that, so hope it's ok. Hope you get this in time for tonight too. Tried sending an email, but didn't work. Cackle.
