    An emergancy has come up with our current website server/host. The WGA site will need to be moved very soon. It may be bounced around to some different locations over the next few days. As a result, we may be experiencing some website outages.

    The timing is bad with the upcoming campout, but if needed, we will post any important items on the event cache page.

    Thanks for your patience.

    Several of the Board members have @wi-geocaching.com email addresses. I’m not sure if these will be effected or not.

    If you need to reach me in the near future, you can reach me at: grousetales at sbcglobal dot net

    I would recommend that ALL “important items” get posted in some way on the event cache page … even if it’s a link to some non-WGA webspace. Two Reasons:

    (1) Keep non-WGA people attending in the loop.

    (2) In theory you could post something important on the WGA today, but then have a further outage closer to the event date, at the only time when someone might be able to check it. (One should remember that sometimes people make full blown vacations around these events, and might not have computer access a few days before the event. That was the case with an event I hosted last year, luckly I was able to email information to two teams several days before the event.)
