Have you ever played the WGA Lonely Cache Game? Have you ever heard of the WGA Lonely Cache Game? The WGA began using the Lonely Cache Game on January 1, 2008, as a way to encourage members to visit caches that have not been found for a long period of time. When I started playing the LCG in 2010, it was not uncommon for caches on the list to have been lonely for less than a year. Today our list of 500 caches have almost all been unfound for 4 years or more. Geocaching has changed a lot in the past 12 years, but the LCG has remained relatively unchanged. The combination of these factors has resulted in fewer people playing the game each year.

The BoD has been discussing this, and asking how we can refresh the LCG to build more interest, and subsequently get many of these old caches back in play, or if they are unfound because they are missing, either repaired/replaced or removed from the game board altogether. In this interest, we have decided to form a committee to devise a plan to revitalize the LCG in the best interests of all WGA members across the state. The committee will consist of two board members and 3 members-at-large. If you are interested in participating on this committee, please contact the committee chair, Jim Peterson (bigjim60) by private message or e-mail [email protected]
