Very exciting!!

Hey RDHG, I'm so glad to see you back from you long hiatus!! It's been awfully quiet without ya. Hope you decide to host an event at this super neat location. Sounds like a very friendly letterboxing place.

No Borders and Amanda from Seattle, I know! Wheeeee!

Scouttrekkie, she and I are meeting next week to discuss planning details. ;-)

OO boy!! We all wanna know where! :-)

GreyCrazy

waiting ....

Awesome waiting as well for the 411 :)

CAn't wait to see when and where!

That is quite awesome!

For those who have been waiting for more details.... :-)

H and I took a drive up to the location and got a mini tour. The woman on the board of this North Carolina place, with whom I have been speaking, has been so accommodating and is even talking with local businesses about making our visit there the best that it can be. There are indoor accommodations, and there are RV sites. We will get more specific details on cost, etc., soon. Oh, and, if you are a horse person, there is also a hotel with stables.

It is looking like the event will be the weekend of September 30th or the weekend of November 18th. Given nighttime temps, specific availability of accommodations may make that decision. Haha.

R and H and I have a trip planned back there and hope to have final details some time next week. Woohooo!

Ok, this is sounding like it's shaping up to be a pretty amazing event...
I know you are keeping the location a secret, but is it reasonable-driving-distance from Raleigh? I might have to try to arrange a "Customer Visit" around that time....

How fun would that be?! It is not far from I-77 and I-40. I hope to have all details squared away by next weekend (in about a week and a half).

Well if you don't pick Sept 30 maybe we can make it! I'm eagerly following,........ :-)

so being a cryptic event is what gets you back to nc?!

Thanks to Brown Cow for planting a new box in Florida last week, it was my 1000th find!

Wahoo, Congratulations!

How exciting--I still remember getting mine.

Amazing!

Glad to oblige. Congratulations!

Congrats! Feels good doesn't it?!

Wow, that is a big milestone! Congratulations!

While I have been quiet on the boards, I have been working away in the background preparing for this event. There is still plenty of room for anybody else who might like to join us at this Old West Town in the middle of North Carolina. :-)

Did you get my latest package? :-)

Seriously contemplating it....But minus 2 of my Flamigos, they drag me down.

Is there a deadline to commit?

Yes! I apologize if I did not send you a message. We have messaged back and forth so many times that maybe I fetch like I did. Haha. I appreciate you and Mouser for your contributions! ☆ Yeehaw!

That would be super! No, there is no deadline to commit. I do have something up my sleeve, though, for which it would be helpful to know as soon as you decide. <winkwink>

If you look at the event page, there are suggestions for lodging. So far I know of people renting private cabins and staying at Miss Daisy's.

Resort property.. We had to switch our family's trip to later this year, yet the current reservations are non-refundable. A deal for you? This is what is still available.

Hotel style studio 8/21-8/27 -- Sun to Sat $300 total?

One bedroom villa 8/21-8/23 -- Sun to Tues $120 total?
Hotel style studio 8/23-8/25 -- Tues to Thurs $100 total?
One bedroom villa 8/25-8/27 -- Thurs to Sat $120 total?

Seriously, please contact me, and let us talk. We would like someone to use them so that they do not go to waste.

This event is being held at an old west town in the heart of North Carolina. If you like hiking, there will be enough to keep you hunting for boxes the entire weekend. The people are friendly, the lodging is affordable (especially if you share), and event boxes are welcome.
