Sometime back in the 1960's while watching re-runs of the "Brady Bunch" play on an endless loop, a young cacher had an epiphany about what he would do to celebrate Thanksgiving in the 2000's. While he would still engage in festivities involving loads of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberries, biscuits, carrots, cauliflower, salad, macaroni and cheese, ice cream, fried chicken, and my personal favorite pumpkin pie, he would start the day right - with doughnuts, beer, and adventures in the woods as a pregame to the meal that would come later in the day.
His vision didn't come to complete fruition until the advent of the internet and its widespread usage affected everyone. This medium allowed him to summon people crazy enough to share the same dream. Beginning in the upper-mid-to late 2000's we have created and followed a tradition of celebrating the holiday each and every year (although we seem to have missed a year or two by my count...) with epic adventures involving water, mud, ravines, and good old fashioned ammoboxes in the woods.
Today we decided to celebrate our annual tradition in Chestnut Ridge.... or "Das Ridge" as Szuchie calls it. This event also happened to have a certain historical significance to it as it also was the first (outdoor)OpenCaching event ever held in the United States. We were proud of the occassion and took many photos of the celebrations that occured in the bitter cold freezing rain and wind. Despite these elements we had what may be considered the best damn event ever. I couldn't have asked for better company to start the day off with and remind me of the friendships I'm thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
H to the Bizzle! in his first ever OpenCache appearence.
