I know there have been several other topics, which have made info scattered. So, here is your clarifying and tidying-up posting.

The Chippewa Valley spring geocaching event will kick off in 6 days (4/14) at midnight. The offical webpage will go active then. The webpage is geocachingwisconsin.com and has information about kickoff activities as well.

The format will be the same as last year; you can register online and get your passbook and the coordinate file like last year; or new this year, a GPX file that has descriptions, ratings, hints, and coords. Will be available in GPX, PDB and just basic coords in LOC. There will also be a “nearly paperless passbook” which will only be four pages to carry in the field and to validate your finds for the drawings. You can also register in person at the Convention and visitors Bureau. The doors will open at 8 am and a computer will be available to download via GSAK your files. You need your own cables though.

There will be 100 caches as I noted before, with 85 listed on geocaching.com. That also a ton of FTFs as well! You just have to beat Zuma! to it!!!

Prizes are a new Cx series Garmin package, camping gear and other caching related stuff, but also a couple passes to see Bon Jovi at Country Jam as well.
