Another Chicago Area Group?

[+geognerd]

Was looking for new caches placed over the weekend and noticed that someone had posted a note for a cache, including a link to a group, Geocachers of Northeastern Illinois. I hadn't heard of this. Is this a new group, and if so, why? Did something happened to Chicagoland Geocaching, or whatever group it was that had been putting on the geocaching picnics in the area?

Well I guess the cat's out of the bag!!

 

http://www.gonil.org is the successor to the old chitown cachers ... if you hadn't noticed, the chitown cachers site was about 2 year stale and required yahoo groups to maintain any functionality ...

 

Same familiar faces, new web site and a new org (a real one) in the works.

 

We announced the new site to the yahoo group people over the weekend and were going to wait for a bit to announce here to shake out any bugs, but since the cat is out, come by and say hi! ....

I've signed up as a member, but I can't log in. The forum tells me to contact the administrator, but I can't do that unless I'm logged in. I guess I'll stick to the Groundspeak forums.

Hmarq is the administrator. If you contact him via his profile, I am sure he can remedy whatever the problem is. I have been very happy with the new site. I only wish I had some artistic talent to contribute to the logo design process.

You're all set Cache us Clay ...

 

First time you login, check your profile and see if your email address is correct; that has been the problem for most folks that never received the registration email.

Thanks! I'll be glad to provide some information about the Kankakee forest preserve district and other contacts we've been working with.
