We will be holding the annual WGA LCG Presentation & Awards Ceremony at Horicon Marsh Visitors Center this year.
Stop by and enjoy the Meet and Greet and take the time to find out what the Lonely Cache Game and Wisconsin Geocaching Association is all about.
Here is a link to this year’s leaderboard: http://www.wi-geocaching.com/wga-lonely-cache-game/?_tab=scoreboard. What is your standing and who’s going to take the number one spot this year? It’s been quite interesting the last couple of years. Can it still be anyone’s game? Let’s just see and find out. There’s still a couple of weeks left in 2018.
For anyone that has played the LCG, this is always a great way to reminisce on all the great adventures that happened in 2018. If you are curious about the game, come on out and get informed! Many of Wisconsin’s best caches are “Lonely”!
Join us for socializing and geo-talk about everything that makes WI geocaching special. We’ll talk about Cache Rescues and the Lonely Cache Game, which has the sole purpose of encouraging people to visit those WI geocaches that are not often visited and to keep our caches in tip top shape for all visitors.
There is no need to be a WGA member or LCG player. This event is open to all geocachers.

A little bit about the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center:
Visitors have a unique opportunity to travel through time as they explore some of the exciting new features on display at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center in Horicon, WI. Long before Horicon Marsh achieved international status as an important bird and wildlife area and a destination for outdoor recreation, glaciers carved a basin where a wetland would one day form. Today, guests of Horicon Marsh’s Explorium can get a glimpse of life at Horicon Marsh thousands of years before European settlement and witness how the current wetland came to be. The experience is narrated by a Clovis spearpoint that keeps visitors company throughout the journey as they view, listen to, touch, and even smell exhibits that document the changes to the marsh over time.Videos and interactive displays greet guests at every turn, encouraging audiences of any age to learn more about the history and ecology of Horicon Marsh. A woolly mammoth replica that children are free to touch and climb represents wildlife that roamed the land during the Ice Age and also served as an important food source for early Native Americans. Relics from the age of European settlement as well as modern hunting and trapping equipment illustrate the marsh’s popularity as a waterfowl hunting site. Games encourage visitors to learn about wildlife identification. Viewers can also gain a singularly thrilling perspective on the management and conservation activities currently occurring on the marsh before heading out to enjoy it for themselves. These exhibits are just a taste of the many educational themes in the new Explorium.
