CIGA at GeoWoodstock
nic beats the heat for Get O
GeoWoodstock 14er was held at Denver, close enough to draw CIGA cachers.  
CIGA picnic beats the heat for Get Outdoors day
Air conditioning won the day for the CIGA picnic in Bloomington.  It was a hot June day.  There were activities outside to observe Get Outdoor days.  But indoors had efficient cooling, welcome relief for 34 people attending.
