Hi all! I'm about to start planning the 3rd annual Geocaper. I already have 3 people that have expressed interest in helping organize the event. You don't have to an expert at creating puzzles, there are many other things that have to get done as well. If you would like to help out send me email. I'm planning on the 1st meeting being sometime in February, with the event being in July. JavaDuck (Steve)

Hi! Teams can be anywhere from 4 to 6 people. We want to include as many people as we can, but have to limit the event to 12 teams due to logistics, planning etc. Again if you are looking for people to fill out your team, post a message here or check the notes on the cache page. There are 8 spots left. I'm waiting for a team name from one group. Once you have at least 4 people sign up! You are free to add the 2 additional people later or change people if needed! Hope to see you there!

Wonka's Oompa-Loompas have heard that there are cachers looking for a team. Leave messages here and hopefully some cachers can join together to take on the Snozzberries. What does a snozzberry taste like? A snozzbery of course!

The WONKA team is busy working on creating an event that will satisfy the sweet and puzzling tooths of the area cachers. I'll post any information I hear about teams seeking cachers or cachers seeking teams. See you in July!

I haven't got my car stuck yet, but did have my car stolen while geocaching. Only gone about 10 minutes. One reason to always carry a cell phone!
