Jekyll-n-Hyde's Handle Scramble Returns

I got to attend this event while I visited my family back home in Texas. Tony was still deployed at the time. I was excited because this was my first event where I would meet brand new people, and because my mom (Spanish Rose) and my sister (Trinket) joined me in attending. We were nervous at first because we would know no one there, but like I told my mom they would be, everyone was so nice, well, because cachers always are. GrrlFrog held the event and she did a great job. The Halloween decorations were awesome, and I really liked them since my birthday is on Halloween. So going to this event was also a way to celebrate my 20th birthday. 

There was a multi cache to find at the event, and in order to find the first set of coords, you had too bob for film canisters, and only some of them had the coords in them, so some people had to bob quite a few times. I was lucky though, I think I only bobbed maybe two or three times. After you got the first coords, they led you to another stage where you found a small bucket with a hole cut in the top. You had to put your hand in it to pull out the next film can with the next stage's coords, and in these buckets were nasty feeling substances. They turned out to be normal food items, like corn and things like that, but in the dark it's still gross, lol.... There were a few stages like this, and then you finally found the end cache filled with Halloween toys. It was a really good idea for a multi cache, I thought it was cute and fun. 

Another part of the event was the costume contest. You were supposed to come dressed as your geocaching handle. At first, I couldn't think of anything that I could do with "CacherCrashers," but then I made a t-shirt. One it were two pictures, on the left side was a picture of stick figures of Tony and me running towards a cache. The other picture on the right side, was a picture of us as though we had run into eachother, sitting on the ground with stars around our heads. I then made a headband for me to wear that made it look like stars and such were flying around my head... My sister wore the other headband for the night. It was fun, and I won the costume contest. :) There was also a Halloween dessert contest, with entries like KittyLitter Cake, and there was a grave yard cake. The food, company, and the hunt were all great, and I had so much fun.
