Gallery of log for A Magic Meal on the Mountain
Hi CarrollEyres
Where do you start to describe what can only be described as the perfect caching event!
Maybe at the start; rose early as did many participants. There were those that rose at round 0400hrs and travelled miles to be there today and those that rose early but did not travel quite so far. Me I rose early and enjoyed the sunrise at Deloraine. Off then to do a cache at Elizabeth Town and on to the car park only to disturb Swampy again in his effort to shower (DDTs had earlier beaten me in this task!)
Cachers and a few described as muggles from all over arrive and the trek to the top began.
The kids did it easy, some running parts of the track (wish I could still do that); day pack bearers not quite so easy and those that were staying over night "laboured" the trek under the loads they bore.
The sojourn to the top was an enjoyable conversation with others all the way. The great flora through which we walked was magical - sassafrass and myrtle forest.
To break the the forest and arrive at the plateau only to be greeted by magical scenery was magnificent. BONUS!! Cache to be had. "MAGIC!" and we have not started to eat yet!
The venue was perfect, the meal more than adequate and superb! Company and stories extroardinary.
Visits by other trekkers interesting.
"Boob" discussion fascinating!!! Kids cooling off in the mountain pools entertaining.
Time to descend sad!
Thanks to the CarrollEyres for organising such a stupendis day. Red tag for her assistance with the venue preparations. To those that provided the magnificent food - our thanks! DDTs, I didn't even here the cat screach! Swampy, the salmon looked great! I just love Egg and Bacon Pie! How long can we go on. SamCarter cheesecake maker. They are just the ones I know about. 2y tassies and those hissing pancakes - great! A feast fit for royalty.
Thanks to you all for your friendship and companionship.
What about Tony's fitness!! Let's hope Lara and David get the caching bug! Hope hooklines tent stayed up over night and that sounds of ZZZds in the hut didn't keep to many awake tonight!
Thanks for a great day;
Cheers OldSaint.
