Just as advertised!!!!!!!! Wow! That's cool My first POC blog post!

Where's that red button? You know, the one that says "That was Easy."

:-)
OP

Blink blink... coming out of the dark is hard, but we gotta get together and play!

OP present and accounted for. Uh, this posting on a blog seems too easy. Is this really all there is to it? Get invited by BooBooBee, log onto my gmail account and I'm blogging? Humph! Seems too easy. We'll see how my first post goes.

Okay - I for one have been a little directionless. That's what happens when I get going in too many directions - I end up being stationary and get nothing done! Time to prioritize myself. The Geocaching Spirit has spoken - saw Tammy at Kohls, going GCing w/ BBBee on Friday, caching in the offing with Moosemob who is coming to Atas this weekend for his annual Easter visit with family and Shukymomo said we "went the way of the Dodo bird." Can't seen the spirit as pointing me in any direction other than back to the Poison Oak for the Oreo Pony.

I'm back. OP

Are We Kickin' It, or just Kickin'?

It seems Shuckymoo thinks Poison Oak Cachers has gone the way of the Dodo birds. Is it true? Are we all just too busy to get together. I know I've had a few things going on (like this and this, to name a couple), and everyone else I know seems swamped these days. How about you? Anyone up for a group cachin' event? Comment here!

Join us at the SLO & Santa Maria Christmas Parades!

Poison Oak Cachers are gathering again with renewed vigor for two events:
-- Cachers on Parade event cache, San Luis Obispo Christmas Parade, Friday, Dec. 4, 2009 in downtown SLO;
-- Cachers on Parade AGAIN event cache, Santa Maria Parade of Lights, Saturday, Dec. 5, 2009 on Broadway between Stowell Road and Main Street in Santa Maria.

Want to log the find? Join us on parade! Look for the giant (and I do mean GIANT) ammo can. (Thanks Jackster!)

The can in progress. Still to come: giant log sheet, gifts, logo and more decorations!

Bon Bon Bonfire Caching Event Success

Thanks, OreoPony, for organizing the Bon Bon Bonfire Caching gathering at Old Port in July. While 15 cachers logged their visit, each brought at least one friend, family member or newbie. While adults swapped caching stories and technical info, kids dug holes in the sand and splashed well past sunset.

Gearing Up on the Central Coast

Local caching high-tech guru OreoPony bucked up and braved the potentially lonely library for her Gear Up group educational caching event.

If you notice OP's name a lot on this blog, no, she's not writing these entries. (Well, not so far.) She's just our most active group event organizer. Not into group events? You can still enjoy OP's fabulously historical caches throughout SLO County. She specializes in researching the history of the area where she places her hides, and sharing that info on her cache listings. Check 'em out!

How Do You Do...Geocaching?

OreoPony struck again on California's Central Coast with her How Do You Do....Geocaching educational and social event. OP has a way of combining food and fun that attracts a fantastically warm group of cachers. Thanks again, OP!
