+kelly@9 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) Ok, so I may be a n00b, but I still know about the MD Geocaching Society, and I saw a post recently about folks in Northern VA trying to organize, but how about those cachers who actually live in DC itself? I live on Capitol Hill, and I imagine I can't be the only one here who lives in the city instead of in the 'burbs, guess my question is, are there enough DC folk who'd be interested in organizing some sort of group? Or does it make more sense to get together and form a DC-area group including the suburbs? Or just beg MGS to be a part of them (since all of present DC did used to be part of Maryland of course)? And if I wanted to organize a DC event cache sometime this spring, would people be into it? I'd certainly like to meet some other cachers! (And yes, in case you didn't figure it out from the topic description, the "typo" in the topic title is deliberate.) Edited January 7, 2006 by kelly@9 Quote Link to comment
+jiminpotomac Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Well, I used to live on the 'Hill if that counts... Maybe we can get some of us from the 'burbs together with some from DC too? I'm sure there are a few caches along the canal, which is mid-way between us. Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Host a geocaching event, and see how many 'locals' show up. Then, you can discuss organizing at the event, with those who would likely be members. A lot more local cachers will see an event page than will see a forum post. Oh, and if there's not a lot of interest in a DC specific group, (or even if there is, and you just want another resource) the MGS is a great group and very welcoming. You won't have to beg to be part of the group. Quote Link to comment
+kelly@9 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Excellent ideas! I'm not sure I'm quite ready to commit to hosting an event immediately, but I'm guessing if I mull over some details for a week or two, I could post something for late February or March... Quote Link to comment
hobo dude Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Being from VA I would say that I would not mind you joining in with this group either. We are a friendly bunch. People are usually more than happy to allow you to join in with them. I was accepted into a Texas event while just passing through. It was really nice to see new faces no matter where you go. I had found enough caches in the area to have some know the name prior as well. If that all makes any sense. Quote Link to comment
