Thanks for the question Brian.

I have been caching for half of the time that you have mentioned, but I have seen many changes in that time. From the types of caches offered, to the types of people planting and finding them. There has also been a rise in the variety of geocaching related web-sites and listing sites.

I believe the WGA has kept pace well. I had only two concerns in the past, one that our web-site was getting dated, and two, that we here seemed to only cater to geocaching.com.

However, in the past two years, the past year especially, I’ve sen these things changed, and I’ve participated in those changes by serving on the committees. Our logo is new and fresh, as is the web-site, with many, many more changes to come. I believe we will be leading the way in this area very soon!

As for my old concern on geocaching.com being our primary source, I feel now that this is only true, because it’s what the members choose to make it. Most of us use GC.com as our primary, so that is going to be what we talk about primarily. Makes sense. And any member is more than welcome to post about other listing sources at any time, and I’ve seen this recently.

So yes, I believe we are keeping with the times, and are headed in the right direction. The WGA has many, many great volunteers right now, all working very hard to make it the best it can be.

Ditto what Jake said. We do a similar meet and greet on Thursday mornings in Kenosha, although attendance seems to fade in the winter months. 😀 It has to be about three years we’ve been doing it now.

Well that’s odd. The full color coin “logo” that was the background for the whole website disappeared in the last few hours.

Bad timing to be removed, but so there is no confusion, it was removed for an unrelated reason.

IE = Internet Explorer.

I use RoadRunner and IE and have had no probs with WGA, but I have the problem now and the with FaceBook and one other site as well. Seems to happen randomly for me. Usually just refreshing the page takes care of it.

The Community Education Committee is discussing this topic in depth. A law enforcement brochure has been created and we are working the details of the print and distribution process. S|S, I will gladly make mention of a statewide effort in the committee, and post back updates when they are available.

Wow! That’s even stranger than using multi-million dollar sattelites to find tupperware in the woods.

That’s why I think they fit together well 😀

Great pics…I recognize about half of the locations…and I see someone laying on top of a geocache.

When painting anything that is going to be in the elements, preparation is key. Make sure to sand the surface to give your paint something to attach too. Always use primer before you paint. Use at least 2 coats of your color (reflective) paint, and use a matt or flat clearcoat designed for outdoor use. Still these things will take a lot of abuse, so they won’t last forever.

I agree with bong, it’s mostly flat, and this time of year it looks awesome.
