Welcome aboard! There is a local caching group down there in your area. we call them MAC they are the Merced Area Cachers. Be careful though because their ring leader Photom is a very shady character!
In all seriousness they are a good group of poeple that will most likely help you out in any way possible.
HEY!! I resemble that remark!
Indeed, Markca - welcome aboard. The forum isn't as active as it once was - seems as though folks have tended to migrate to Facebook, along with 500 million others.
Thanks for the welcome! So far everyone I've come across has been great and I've been having a lot of fun.
I am originally from Los Banos and when I first started I noticed there were only 2 caches in the entire town. Since I am over there often as I have family over there and I know the town like the back of my hand, I've been giving that area more hides in hopes of giving cachers passing through there something to look for.....and so far, so good.
