My family and I got turned on to Geocaching @ the race for the cache event in portage. I have spent more time off the couch and actively invovlved with my kids in our weekend cache runs since then. I wish I would have found out about this great sport sooner. We are planning to attend the state park event and meet with all of you there. Perhaps we can exchange info. And maybe arrange a few get togethers, where more of the newer cachers can get to know you veterans. I think thats really what people are wanting. A club would be nice but not necessary, if the new cachers can have someone experienced to talk to it would help grow the sport in our area. I know of atleast 3 other people that have been introduced to geocaching in the past week. (get the kids hooked (evil laugh) and then have them drag there parents along.) I had fun at the race event but, I also noticed that the event was very clicky. while I understand that some of you have been doing this awhile and have friends that you like to cache with. New cachers need to be introduced to veterans, so they can learn the ropes and they will stay with the sport. I think that is the only reason to have any type of local organization. so people will have some place to go to get answers or assistance. Thats just my nickles worth.
