Sharing that Wisconsin recently lost a fellow geocacher and former WGA Board of Director, Cachew (John Carvin). He served on the WGA board in 2005 & 2006. Full obituary can be found at www.gundersonfh.com/obituaries/John-Willis-Carvin?obId=33833558&fbclid=IwY2xjawH99p9leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHfVNVNacvqeSHPHQUJo7zgmZNZc3IZzFJj4jJ9smajWhGUXWk2qhbeejsg_aem_tiDgp_x2b7KbVX3_MtnwXA
Some of our racers have been on the move during the winter months, with the racers of NeenahGeo, JimandLinda, and DrWho1970 in the lead. So far, 22 of our 33 racers have been picked up from their initial drop point and waiting for their next cache stop. Will winter slow the race down, or will some come out of hibernation for a sprint?
