I am not sure who is heading it up. I do know that they have been placing caches in the various Ozaukee County parks over the last few weeks. I had the ftf at the Highland park off of Green Bay Rd and I think it is Freidstadt?… The container was a non-camo’d peanut butter jar with the geocaching notification in it, tossed in the grass by a tree base about 6′ off the road. From just this one cache, I would assume that the hider was not a “seasoned” hider… but I have only visited the one cache. I would assume that either they are not familiar with the WGA (which would be a wealth of information for them) or it is something someone involved with the parks may just be wanting to head up for their area.

my 2 cents 😉

A couple bits of information …

#1 Ranger Andrew from Harrington is NOT one of the hiders. In fact he contacted me a couple months ago more or less making me the “official park volunteer” for approving all cache placements at Harrington. Basicially if the group doing this wants to hide a cache at Harrington (and they do), they have to get my Ok. Ranger Krueger does not own a GPSr and doesn’t really cache (except on vacation with his sister, Rainbow Rach) … the closest he’s coming to hiding caches is working side by side with me, especially the physical details of “Harrington: Risen to Power” (which I’m sure would break State Law if a DNR staffer had not done it).

#2 Yes, I have been in contact with the group doing this. I have a couple names and email addresses. Near as I can figure they seem to have done at least some amount of geocaching, but I’m not clear as to what their geo-names would be and didn’t bother asking.

#3 While they asked me to help them scout out a spot at Harrington face-to-face, I can not … as I’m still recovering from breaking my knee cap (about a month yet before I can drive, return to work and/or walk on something other than Terrain 1). I have supplied them with my “top 5” list of places I would like to see a cache at placed at Harrington.

#4 I have not received details on their location selection for Harrington, and none has been placed there yet. Only caches at Harrington currently are my 10 caches and 2 placed in May by someone called “Pawn of Chaos”.

#5 My most recent contact with the group was questions they had about technical stuff about the geocaching website … like to URLs of caches stay constant (yes) and what would be the best way to put all the event’s caches on a website (I suggested creating a bookmark list and gave them directions on how to do this).
