One might ask, “Who is this “Rogheff” character?” I mean, he’s only been caching for the past year and a half(ish). Do we really know him?
If you’ve done any of his caches, you might come to the conclusion that he is is a Shrubber, a Realtor and most of all – HEAVILY involved in Boy Scouts, as are his wife and 2 sons – Ryando and Master Nai. He also has lots of cachers in his Troop: Mechacacher, Kev507, Raging Thunder, Henwood, Cacherclan, Knoffer and rdl1560 are some of the fine geoscouting folks he’s happy to be associated with.
He incorporates geocaching into as many Scouting activities as possible. He’ll be hosting a Geoscouting event this coming spring. It will bring geocachers and Scouters together into one big, happy family. He’s also working on a “Cache to Eagle” series which will bring you to geocaches at various Eagle Projects in SEWisc.
“Oh!” you say, “he’s one of those Southeastern part of the state folks…” Well, yeah – hey we all have to live somewhere. But he has caches placed all over the country. Well, not ALL over the country, but he does place and find caches regularly in Illinois, Minnesota (the Twin Cities and up on the Iron Range) and Louisianna.
I know what you’re thinking, “He has a wide variety of caches placed out there, doesn’t he?” Did you know you were thinking that? He likes to place caches that appeal to a WIDE variety of cachers. He’s one of those rare breed of cachers that actually like placing geocaches better than finding them. He’s wierd, huh?
He loves this sport..er..game..er..hobby..er..obsession and wants to be a part of whatever will make it better. The salary is really, really large for WGA Board members…isn’t it? Yeah, probably the same as Scout Leaders – you can have as many zeros as you want.
I’d vote for him – what a swell guy!

01/12/2007 at 2:18 pm #1768137I will chime in and say thats Rogers caches range from the extremely creative to the evil! But you can always expect something unique – which IMO is what this is all about.
A nice guy, a good ‘ambassador’ when it comes to meeting new people – we were new when we met him, and he was VERY friendly and helpful.
An excellent Nominee.

01/26/2007 at 2:20 am #1768138There’s been a lot of discussion in other parts of the election threads about increasing visibility and recruitment by the WGA, so I have an idea and a question:
Could the WGA sponsor a “Meet a Muggle” geocache? That would be defined as “supply the swag”. My idea would be to place a geocache in an area where you would have a high probability of meeting up with a muggle while searching for it.
Now, I’m not talking about placing it in Walmart’s parking lot, but an ammo can in a well-used park. I’m also talking about placing one in every county of the state. Will it get muggled – yes. Will it require more maintenance than the average cache – absolutely!
I have a small/regular sized cache placed In a very open and obvious place in a very small, very public park in Kenosha. It’s surrounded by a High School on one side, a museum on one side, the County Courthouse on one side and the Post Office on the remaining side. Oh yeah, the busiest street in Kenosha runs along side (as does our trolley) so I know something about a cache surviving a muggle-prone area.
Talk about visibility to the general public – in all parts of the state as well. I like this idea better than an expo.
I’ll put my money where my mouth is and volunteer to start this project.
