The SLAGA summer picnic this year was held on July 11th in the St. Vrain Shelter at Spanish Lake Park.  As always, it was a bring your own lunch, drinks, lawn chair, and interesting bantar type event.  Although there was morning rain, it didn't deter the 30 geocachers from gathering in this beautiful park, with its walking trails, ponds for fishing, and playgrounds for kids (of all ages apparently). 

As always, there was great conversation and camaraderie, but park geocaching was the big hit at this picnic?  The awesome event CO, brantole, placed an additional 9 new geocaches in the park to accompany her 2025 Cachemas cache there and an oldie (2003) by Island-Dave.  Her multi cache immediately received 8 favorite points.  

Some fun log comments include:

"The scattered rains left just in time for the picnic and to find all the new caches in this hidden gem of a park." (cootie_man)

"Oh this was so much fun, thank you for hosting Brantole! I had an awesome time hanging out with my geo peeps and finding all the new caches in the park." (Forest-Ghost)

"Thank you so much for organizing and for all the new caches my friend. A favourite point from me eh....oh wait 😅🤣😂." (Iamgrateful)

"Nice venue, quiet park, and geo-friends.... who could ask for more? It was especially nice to stay a little later and visit with the hostess with the mostest." (GeoWench78)

What a great way to spend a rainy summer day!  There were tons of smiles and smileys all around.
