Hi SD geocachers, I am working with several La Mesa committees to set up a geocaching challenge to coincide with La Mesa's centennial next year. We (the City) will be planting caches and discoverable Travel Bugs around the incorporated city and there will be a challenge open to area residents (and maybe East County-ers and beyond if we can get HHSA on board) running from June 2nd to Oktoberfest Sunday. We will be hosting 2-3 info sessions and are looking for instructors for these. I can personally teach them but am not as savvy with the Smartphone aspect since I use my old Garmin 60 CS. The La Mesa Library has committed to hosting 2 of the events on May 19th and July 21st and there may be an additional one after the Flag Day parade during the community picnic (we will also have a Travel Bug on a parade vehicle for everyone's discovering enjoyment). If you or someone you know would be willing and able to help present an info session please Email me Thank you, --Polly

Will these caches be registered with Groundspeak and remain as official Geocaches? Yes. Geocaching.com has offered the City of La Mesa a free premium membership (though no caches will be premium member only caches) and the Expand the Parks commission is always trying to bring the public to the parks and the parks maintenance workers/city personnel will be made aware of locations. In places where there is cache saturation Travel Bugs will be in place to highlight significant La Mesa locations which will most likely be released into the wild after the Challenge.

Hi Flagman--I met you a long time ago. Please Email me your contact info.
