"What to Bring"…Your white elephant gifts, sense of adventure and a dish to share. I heard there is a need for salads. Bring your drinks and ice. The wonderful hosts provide paper plates, napkins, and plastic ware. Everyone bring their own meat items to BBQ.
 
     I think MadamButterfly sums it up best with her note on the event page:
“Make new friends and greet the old. Bring kids, dogs (on a leash), a white elephant, something for the pot luck, and come prepared to have a ball! There will be something for EVERYONE at this wild and crazy event! When Railroader921 and Madambutterfly1822 get together, we pull out all the stops to give you a good time!!! The setting is a lovely park and spacious picnic pavilion, covered in case of rain. Along with a yummy pot luck BBQ picnic, there will be plenty of family activities, including a playground for the kiddies, beach volleyball, a softball game, Frisbee toss, pin the GPS on the Froggie (Signal, of course) and face painting. But the BEST part, of course, will be the Poker Run! 7 different kinds of caches await your discovery! This will be a BLAST!!!! Find and stamp your card for all seven and collect your poker card hand. Then, make the best hand you can by trading swag, bartering, bribing, or any other means you can think of. Chances are you may win a funny, fabulous white elephant prize! Of course there will be time for discovering geocoins and Travel Bugs and Don't Forget your Camera! FUN, FOOD, CACHING AND FRIENDS....What more can you ask for than that? Please join us! It won't be the same if you're not there. Help us plan better by remembering to log in your RSVP. Tell us how many are in your party and what side dish you'll bring. You might want to bring along some camping chairs if the picnic tables fill up and a table cloth.
List to bring: drinks, meat to BBQ, side dish, swag for trading cards, ball mitt (opt), white elephant, camp chair, and an expectation for lots of FUN!”

Sounds like lots of fun. Up here in Alaska all we have is the flash mob and casual caching with friends. The good news is it probably won't snow during the flash mob.
