IT'S OFFICIAL (I THINK)

I've checked my lists and checked them again and it looks like we had 50 OBW(?)'s this past weekend at GW 7. We didn't everyone into one picture but I tried to get pictures of everyone at one time or the other. Will get them posted as soon as I get them developed(I haven't gone digital yet). Hope everyone got home safely or having safe travels if you are still on the road.
Please remember an OBW(?) who recently had knee surgery, another who had hip surgery and another who had a slight stroke.

OBW(?)'s Made a great show at GeoWoodstock

Wow-did we ever have a great group there in Bell Buckle, TN this past Sat. I think there were around 45 in attendance but I haven't gotten to my records yet to get a correct count. I'm exhausted but it was worth every minute of it. Thanks to everyone who came for the picture at 11 AM in front of the stage and I tried to get pictures of those who didn't make the picture or who were enlisted later. Pictures to come soon.

OBW(?) Goes International

You read it correctly-we have out first international members. Tammo and Doris Hadeler are from Bremen, Germany and we made their acquaintance several years ago at another GeoWoodstock. This year Doris was unable to come but Tammo is here and has become the newest member of our group. If you are coming to Bell Buckle tomorrow (May 23) be sure to welcome him.
See you at the welcome sign tomorrow at 11:00 AM.

ooopppsssss!!!!!!

There were actually 11 of us plus 2 members at the event last evening. I forgot RKLMBL from Ark. who dropped in for a quick visit. This number ties the 13 we had together at the Hobos 10 K event in Crossville, TN a while back. I also recruited another couple last night but will get back with them on Sat. at the BIG!!!!! event-hope I can find them.
The ones I did recruit and present membership cards to were:
Judy Gordon from DeLand, FL who caches with her daughter
Libby Morehead (gmalibby) from Centralia, MO

It's Happened Again

TEAM SNOOK is visiting in Nashville for GeoWoodstock and staying with NashvilleJoe and AbbysGrammy and we all attended an event in Springfield, TN last evening. Yes, we were eating again-catfish this time and was it ever good. Pictures to come soon.

Have heard from several of you about your plans for coming to GeoWoodstock 7 (or not) but still would like to hear from more of you. You can send me private e-mail if you would prefer:

ARE YOU COMING TO GW 7?

I've had e-mail back from several OBW(?)'s in response to my last mass mail-out to everyone. Looks like we are going to have quite a few at GeoWoodstock 7 in Bell Buckle, TN on the 23rd. We are going to meet at the welcome sign (wherever that is)about 11:00 and meet and greet and have our picture taken around 11:30. Safe travels to everyone who is heading this way and if you can't come, we'll really miss you. Maybe next year? Joe and I hope to meet more of you during our travels over the next year. Don't be surprised if we e-mail you when we are getting near you and ask if we can meet up for a "cuppa".
It's been so wet here in middle Tenn the past month. We are about to get materials to build an ark this past week. The good part is that everything is green and so pretty. It probably also means we are going to have a bumper crop of chiggers and ticks all summer. That's why NashvilleJoe and I and Bulli the Wonder Dog don't bushwhack during the summer.
Let me hear from you. Still looking for more write-ups on the blog plus pictures.

It's a small world


We met up with the HAPPY2WANDERS (Renee and Wally Stephens in Tijeras, NM, about three weeks ago. We are been traveling the same places for around three weeks now. We are in Shawnee, OK now and will part tomorrow going our separate ways. We have had a good time sharing Geocaching finds and DNF's at the end of each day. It's been fun spending time with them.

Happy Hobos
