In looking at what remains for us to find at High Cliff, I see five puzzle caches. Will these still be in place? Or should I save my solving energy for other things? Thanks!
04/27/2015 at 1:12 pm #2039285S|S has said these will remain. There is a chance he may have new ones to go along with these. I’ve heard they are placed…
New Traditional caches will number at least 15

05/02/2015 at 6:53 am #2039435Wabbit Hole we got. There are others, however. Wabbit Hole was really pretty awesome, both the puzzle and the location.
05/12/2015 at 1:18 pm #2039746I’m surprised there is not a section on the WGA forums to discuss the campout like there is for the WBCB.
Anyways, those of you getting a hotel this weekend, where are you staying? I may attend the campout myself, but I’ll be staying at a hotel in Appleton somewhere.
05/12/2015 at 4:39 pm #2039749There still is time Todd. Feel free to start a topic.
Some has been talked about in the forums in the thread stealers and I am always up for the members to run with their own topics.
Whattya want to talk about? We’ve been talking about the Silent Auction and the WGA TeamUp Token game- but just a little bit on that here. Shhhh its a big secret.

05/13/2015 at 7:03 am #2039762It sounds like grills are provided, is that right, or should we figuring on bringing our own or cooking over the fire?

05/13/2015 at 7:46 am #2039764Yes grills are provided. If for some reason vandals run off with them, Becca will hold a lighter under your hotdog to cook it for you.

This is the 3rd time the WGA has visited this great park for the annual Geo-Campout.
•GCD511 WGA Geo-Campout 2003
•GC1PBQM 2009 WGA Geo-CampoutWe think it will be the perfect location and should be our largest Geo-Campout ever.
Event will take place on Saturday, May 16th from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.
List your Will Attends now to join in the fun and camaraderie! While daytrippers and Hotel/Motel campers are always welcome, to get the full Geo-Campout experience you need to sleep outdoors in the park. The WGA has reserved two group campsites for tent campers that are available on a first-come, first-serve basis (60 campers max). Camping is not required. Campsite revervations are now limited and 1st Come 1st Served!
WGA TeamUp Token Game Goal: Bring people together into teams that you normally wouldn’t get to meet or cache with. Teams: Form teams of cachers with a 25 point maximum allowed for each team. Register at the Pavilion
Cachers with:
10,000 + finds are 20 points
5000-9,999 finds are 15 points
1000-4,999 finds are 10 points
500-999 finds are 5 points
0-499 finds is 1 pointNo TeamUp Team can equal more than 25 points. Each WGA Token has an unknown value. 1 token per cache/container can be claimed per team. There are enough for 40 teams. More than 40 teams playing…cache fast
Each caching team can take a WGA Token from each cache or container they find that has them 8 of the 15 new caches published in the park have tokens in them
There are 3 additional token containers placed in the park near well- known landmarks within the park. These will offer parts of coordinates for a Final Container that will hold Bonus Team Tokens- everyone likes a Treasure Chest!
