    Question about Greene County Parks rules in Ohio

    in Midwest

    Posted

    Contact one of the Greene Co. naturalists at the Narrows Reserve Nature Center, 2575 Indian Ripple Rd, Beavercreek, OH. to learn about the permit system they have in place.

     

    Greene Co. Parks still support geocaching as noted in the below activity they put on:

     

    Description: Join Greene County Parks & Trails for a Geocache-Easter Style beginning with the first coordinates available between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., Saturday, April 7, at the Narrows Reserve Nature Center, 2575 Indian Ripple Rd., Beavercreek.

     

    Participants will be given the GPS coordinates to the first cache of eggs with puzzles/clues leading searchers to the remaining Easter treasures. Participants will need geocaching knowledge and a GPS unit.

     

    The event is free and open to the public. All ages are welcomed.

     

    For more information, call Greene County Parks & Trails at 937.562.6440 or email rgregory@co.greene.oh.us.

    Cincy And Dayton area?

    Mt Airy Forest in Cincy is a great place for caching. Park the car, and hike for miles and miles on some fairly challenging terrain at times. Highly recommended with "tons" of caches!

    Geocache on Johnston Atol FOUND

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted · Edited by BVCY Swim

    I'm retired AF (1970-90) and was stationed at Johnston Atoll (1971-72) when it was active. That's wierd that someone placed a cache there as the island(s) were shut down in '04. Doesn't sound like a legal placement to me :D .

     

    The atoll was a great place to dive and kept me from getting bored. The main island (largest) was only 1.5 miles long and 0.5 miles wide made up of mostly dregged-up coral from digging the shipping channel. Some of the best diving in the world.

     

    Also inside the atoll were three other small islands (radio transmitter & reciever islands and an island for the Coast Guard). They fed us good, got to swim around sharks (and catch/eat them), and the facilities were great! Would not trade the experience for anything!

     

    FYI: It was also used as storage for the US reserves of mustard and nerve gas (which has since been removed and neutralized). We had to carry our gas masks around with us 24 hrs a day.

     

    By-the-way, Spam-Lover may be from Hawaii ... I hear that they love Spam in Hawaii! Could it be this guy never activated the cache: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=26...62-1566fd43aac7 ?

    Keith of Keith and Company Passed

    Linda and I are really sorry to hear of Keith's passing. He was always there for us with them early morning back of the car breakfasts prior to the hunt. What a great guy. Keith was a Christian, so I know he is with the Lord as I type and all hurts are gone.

     

    We will miss you, dude :D

     

    Hang in there MJ and let us know what we can do to help.

     

    In my prayers ... Jim

    Southwest Ohio Event?

    in Midwest

    Posted · Edited by BVCY Swim

    Has this been done before or is this even a good idea.

     

    The "2007 Geocoin Poker Challenge" had a tourney at GeoWoodstock 5, and will host another this weekend at the GeoBash.

     

    Last year's GeoBash and GeocoinFest2007 also hosted a geocoin poker tourney.

     

    Ya I seen those, I am looking for one for the Ohio residents close to my area. Thanks for the reply!

    There are some big-time geocoin hounds in SW Ohio (I'm not one, tho). I'm sure if you create an event near Lebanon, you will have many attendees :laughing:!

    Browse the main tent, browse the camp sites..don't be shy!

     

    We'll be in the NWOGEO area, drop in any say hi!

     

    You could have asked the proprietor of the "Grand Fort Waynian TB Resort" about the MWGB. Rumor has it they might know a little about it! ;)

     

    is there any sort of admission fee or anything?

    Admission is free.

    Looks like 4LC started something here. Had to see what it was.

     

    I wouldn't call it an invasion as we've done many caches over in Indiana. Your State Parks are great! I've been caching with several of y'all.

     

    The group hunts 4LC is referring to are what I call BVCY Hair-Brained Cache Outings. The outing on 1 Jan 07 requires you wake up at 0545 to meet at the starting point in Beavercreek OH and there will be no micros on the hunt! Beings how it's on New Years Day makes it a hair-brained idea.
