UVCA September Event "Bust Your Melons"

You couldn't hide me in a Pine Tree in that shirt!

Our first ever, UVCA (Utah Valley Cachers Anonymous) event, "Bust Your Melons" was indeed a blast!

     When we got to GZ, there was another couple there that had a melon. That's how we knew we were in the right place. However, there were no other cachers around. So we were both beginning to wonder where exactly the cache was. Was it up in a tree? So we were standing around talking with this couple, and here comes a lady in a cool green caching shirt carrying a piece of watermelon. I thought, "Yipee, the calvary has come to save us lost people" She told us that the group had huddled a little ways away because there was also another event going on at the park for a local business. Later, we learned the "calvary" in the caching shirt was Princess Daisies.

     We stood around alot, trying to get to know everyone a little. Coming into an established group is always hard. I know that as well as the next person. But it didn't seem that we were outsiders here. Everyone tried very hard to make us all feel welcomed and part of the gang.

     Daniel and were nervous about this being our first event, but all was well after the first few minutes of hanging out. Many different people came up to us, introduced themselves and chatted for a while.

     Journey was playing at the park most of the time, but she still had a blast. I'm pretty sure she will grow up knowing most everyone's names eventually, at least their caching names :p

     All in all, we got the first event under our belt so the second one shouldn't seem that intimidating for us. We were caching for a whole year before we really ever met any of the fellow cachers. I think this will be good for us. Meeting new people... Enjoying new friends... And getting the skinny on the tricks of the trade!

Thanks so much to UVCA for hosting our first ever event, "Bust Your Melons"!

All in attendance!
Journey is such a geonut!
