Description

Mar 3, 2016: Springamagig - Location Information
Hey Everyone! Our event finally has a location! It will be held at Connor Bayou County Park in Grand Haven, MI. The Woodland Cabin has been reserved from 10:00am - 6:00pm (please note the start time change).

There will be a "come as you make it off the trails" potluck meal beginning around 1:00pm thru whenever... Paper plates, napkins, and cutlery will be provided. Please bring a dish to pass and your own beverages. There are kitchen facilities, including refrigerator, stove, and electrical outlets. Coffee will be provided. Alcohol is not permitted.

There will be several event-themed letterboxes planted on the trails at the park, but you are welcome to add either indoor or outdoor boxes if you would like. Stay tuned for more information about box clues. In addition, there will be some fun Easter-related activities for the kids available.

Mar 23, 2016: Springamagig - Pre-Event Clues
The SpringChick event boxes include a puzzle component. So that you don't have to spend time at the gathering figuring out puzzles and can get out on the trails as quickly as possible, the puzzles are being provided early. These will also be available at the gathering, but you'll be able to hit the trails sooner if you figure them out before you get there.

Puzzles can be download in .PDF format here:

Mar 24, 2016: Springamagig Event RESCHEDULED
As much as I wanted this event to happen as scheduled on March 26, it is necessary to reschedule due to illness. I was able to work out a deal with the park so as to not forfeit the lodge reservation cost, as long as we rescheduled within 30 days. The new date for the event is Saturday, April 9.

I apologize to everyone who had made their plans for this Saturday, and hope the new date will work for you!

Apr 5, 2016: April 9 Springamagig Event - CANCELLED!
Hey Everyone! I am really, really sorry to do this, but I have decided to CANCEL the Springamagig Event that had been rescheduled for this Saturday, April 9. Although I am starting to feel better, and I keep thinking, "maybe I could pull this off..." I need to accept that I am just not up to it at this point.

Unfortunately, the park lodge is booked up on Saturdays for the next several months so there is not an opportunity to reschedule, although we will certainly be keeping this beautiful park in mind as a possibility for a fall event.

As the majority of event stamps had already been planted and were themed for the event, I will work to get the clues up in the next couple of weeks so people can head over and make a day of it as their schedules allow, once the weather warms a bit (will it ever feel like spring?).

Thanks for hanging in there with me; it is disappointing to miss out on seeing everyone, but I look forward to the Great Lakes Gathering, which is coming up fast!
