CIA Director

Now that we have our date for the CIA Adventure, I started with the itinerary for our 6 day road trip. All the team made their arrangements to get to Las Vegas, some travelling on their own and others in teams. We all arrive in Las Vegas on the 5th Feb. That seemed to be the easy part. Then I booked the hotels for all of us in Alamo, Racheal and Tonapah. Mini vans were rented.
The itinerary consisted of a list of what we all needed, what times we would leave in the morning and return to the hotels at night. From there I decided that we are so close and if time permits we will all drive to do Route 66 in California on the 6th day. This may prove to be our longest day but time will tell.
Once the vans are picked up at the airport, Cougar Kid will pick up some of the team while a few of us head out to buy extra gas cans and gas along with water, first aid, ice coolers and food for the team.
Once we have all arrived and in the hotel, Shadowcaster of The GO! Team has put on an event and to date many of the local cachers are attending as well as Clay4 who is the CO of the ET Highway. Looking forward to starting off our adventure with an event.
On Jan. 19, I hosted an event in Ladysmith where almost 60 cachers attended to meet and greet and chat about the CIA Adventure. Diraduck and  Two Grands informed us of a fellow cacher and friend that was ill and needed our help so a fun raiser was very successful.
The big question was how many caches will we do per day. Well that will have to wait as we have no idea at this time but you can all read about it once the adventure begins.
As I emailed out different information to the team, I mentioned that I sounded like a General in the Army and I was reminded the by seekandsail that the head of the CIA is the Director, not a General.
It is always strange how these titles come about. Only 15 days to go. Paulboy

  2. As for diving and caching we are going to wait until we get there but we will be doing a few caches at night around the hotels we stay at, sort of strech our legs as they say. I suppose it all depends on how tired we are. As I blog each day, I will let you all know. Paulboy
