Keep the suggestions coming.

Although good scenery and wonderful hiking opportunities are great, in order to accomodate a group of our size we need to keep a close eye on some other things……

For a campout:
1. Near the location of willing-to-help-out WGA geocachers.
2. Space for 100 or so tent campers. (group sites large or close together)
3. PARKING for 100 or so tent campers.
4. A Shelter to have registration, day-cachers & pancake breakfast at.
5. Parking for a ba-zillion people near the shelter (day-cachers).

From all of the campouts I have attended, I would say that Lake Wissota had the best facilities.

For the picnic:
1. Near the location of willing-help-out WGA geocachers.
2. A shelter to have registration & food at.
3. Parking for a ba-zillion people near the shelter.

From all of the campouts I have attended, none (facilities wise) stands out. They all have worked out pretty well.

To Grouse Tales: How do we go about redoing the prior multicaches to have them all loaded in as is required by current policy? Thanks for letting me know.

Here’s what you need to do if you want to add the waypoints…

First, you need to know where they are (hopefully you have a record of them somewhere).

Second, you need to log into geocaching.com, then visit your cache page.

Third, you need to click on “Waypoints” in the menu on the upper-right corner of the page. You will then be to the waypoint entry screen where you can enter the data.

If it is stages to a multi-cache, or the final location of a mystery/puzzle cache, be sure and check the “Hide this waypoint from view except by the owner or administrator” button near the bottom of the page.

Hope this helps.

This is a great feture on the Garmin site…

Try This Link

Click the GPS you are interested in, and maybe one or two others, and you will get a long list of features and specifications all compared. Should answer many of the questions you have.

Should posts like this be allowed to stand on our message boards?

You know… and out-of-towner signs up to make a posting promoting their site or agenda (bordering on advertising)?

I felt this one could stay because it was very geocaching-related. In the past more commercial or non-geocaching threads get *wacked* immediately.

Oh my! 😳

It is my understanding that any decisions made on behalf of the club ultimately *ARE* made by the Board Of Directors.

Log ’em….. don’t log ’em….. Your choice.

Complain about it… don’t complain about it… Your choice.

The BOD for the WGA voted a while ago… multiple log WGA events if you want, don’t multiple log WGA events if you don’t want to.

We were simply following Jeremy Irish’s sentiment on the whole thing (he doesn’t care).

Now, let’s move on to something *really* important by comparison…. re-designing the WGA logo.

One other question on this. I noticed one cache on the list belonged to a active cacher in SE Wisconsin, who has 18 caches still active. I won’t mention the name of the cache or owner, but if you cache in SE Wisconsin, you will know which one it is. Doesn’t this person respond to emails at all? I would think the owner should be the person to “rescue” if they are at all active.

For ALL of the caches on the list, there has been *NO RESPONSE* from the owners of those caches.

As I wrote that, I thought of another question. Will there be any restrictions on new placements from people whose caches have to be rescued? I would think that they would at least have to convince an approver that they understand their responsibilities before they could place another cache. In most cases, these folks are no longer involved, but not all cases, as above.

I think that in virtually *all* cases of caches needing rescue, the owners are no longer involved in Geocaching so most of the time this isn’t going to be an issue.

As a reviewer, I have come across this once before. When the cacher submitted their new cache it was published because it met the guidelines. I did include a friendly private note to that individual asking them to take better care of this cache then the problem one.
