DAD-DONT-GET-US-LOST Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 FROM SPENCER. CONSIDERING THE POSSIBLITY OF ADVERTISING ACROSS THE STATE TO FORM A REGIONAL CLUB TO HOST A CACHE FOR CASH EVENT WITH FREE FOOD. LOCAL SPONSORS WOULD PROBABLY GO FOR IT. YOUR THOUGHTS? Quote
+ScoutingWV Posted January 29, 2006 Author Posted January 29, 2006 FROM SPENCER. CONSIDERING THE POSSIBLITY OF ADVERTISING ACROSS THE STATE TO FORM A REGIONAL CLUB TO HOST A CACHE FOR CASH EVENT WITH FREE FOOD. LOCAL SPONSORS WOULD PROBABLY GO FOR IT. YOUR THOUGHTS? Kind of depends on the details of what you have in mind. If you'd rather share them out of the forums, feel free to email me through my profile. I think you'd get support for a regional group. Some of us up here have been thinking along those lines as well. I've submitted a cache that would create some state-wide interest, but it hasn't received final reviews yet, so I can't really give a bunch of details on it. Definitely interested in pulling something together ... Quote
DAD-DONT-GET-US-LOST Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 I COULD ONLY FIND ONE GROUP ON GOOGLE THAT IS A CLUB FOR WV. THAT WAS AN OH, WV AND KY CLUB? HAVE YOU HEARD OF ANY? Quote
+ScoutingWV Posted January 29, 2006 Author Posted January 29, 2006 No, that's all I know of. I don't believe there are any just in WV. Quote
+Wandering Bears Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 Morgantown. Have considered doing an event cache at Cooper's Rock in the spring. Quote
+cudlecub Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Although I live in VA, I attended an event at Pipestem park last year with a great group of cachers from your state. Maybe get in touch with some of the cachers that attended event waypoint GCNN9V Those in attendance were a real pleasure to meet. Quote
Keystone Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Morgantown. Have considered doing an event cache at Cooper's Rock in the spring. That would be an awesome spot for an event! Just be sure to pick a date that's a bit separated from CW Iams' event in May, which is being held just a little ways north in Fayette County, PA. Quote
DAD-DONT-GET-US-LOST Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Morgantown. Have considered doing an event cache at Cooper's Rock in the spring. I say do it. How about on a Sunday? Quote
+Wandering Bears Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Saturday would probably be better for people who want to go to church, but we can do it on Sunday... I don't care. I've got a smoker and learned how to make BBQ when I lived in TX. I'm thinking along the lines of 30lbs of brisket. Quote

I've got a smoker and learned how to make BBQ when I lived in TX. I'm thinking along the lines of 30lbs of brisket. I'm being selfish. I work Saturday mornings and yes I go to church. But I can make an all day thing on Sunday. Geeze, that's selfish hun. Whatever, I will try my best. Set it up. Quote
+kc8jdc Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I'm in Buckhannon and will be glad to helpout in anyway possible. I work @ Wesleyan College so I have access to facilites there. There are a couple parks in Buckhannon that have caches and would be nice locations as well. Quote
+Mr.P. Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Great idea at Coopers Rocks. Any thing I can do to help. I live in Fairmont. Quote
DAD-DONT-GET-US-LOST Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Just finished getting a website built for WV Geocaching. www.wvgeocaching.com What do you think. All free stuff. Mostly links. Quote
+IWILLFIND Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Im in BELLE, Just East of Charleston... Quote
+Man In The Wild Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 St. Albans--west of Charleston There's an event this weekend in Dunbar by bluet. We'll try to make it to any WV event (as well as some out of state as well...) We're hoping to list our own event soon near Alum Creek. It's still in the planning stages... Quote
+oldnavy59 Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Kenova wv I belong to the KYOHWVAgeocachers. there is also a yahoo group for WV cachers. I am in the early planning stage for a Camp & Cache probably at Beech Fork State park any input would be great Dan Oldnavy59 Quote
+WV Muddy Boots Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Morgantown. Have considered doing an event cache at Cooper's Rock in the spring. This is a great park and a beautiful part of the state ! ! ! Count us in - we would enjoy attending an event here - might even have to do some camp/caching to find some of the great new caches in the Motown area. Do you have any tentative plans? -- Team BattleCache -- Quote
+Wandering Bears Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Yes, my tentative plans are to hold it at Cooper's rock in the spring. LOL! Actually, I would have to schedule it around turkey season (as I shall be using my GPS for other things...) so probably after the last week of may. I'd rent out one of the big pavilions, and make up a bunch of BBQ, burgers and dogs. Having never hosted one of these before, I'll need some help in the planning/execution. Is it bad form to ask for a donation to cover supplies? I know the pavilions rent for about $100 a day, and if I make up 30 lbs of BBQ, it'll cost about $100 in meat/wood. Would asking folks to kick in something in the $5-10 range be out of line? There are 4 caches IN cooper's rock SF, and then there are about 60 or so right around Morgantown, so there's plenty of caching to be done (except for me... I've found 'em all. LOL!) Quote

You might want to talk to the park manager and see if they will donate the shelter or reduce the cost if you make your event a CITO event and let them know that a lot of trash would be removed from the state forest area,even ask them where they need an area cleaned in the forest. Just an idea to help you out on setting this up as I will most likely attend it once you set it up!! Quote

+3_dogs Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) I'd be up for something at Cooper's Rock after May. I see nothing wrong asking folks to kick in on the grub. BTW, I'm in Nutter Fort. Edited February 18, 2006 by 3_dogs Quote

+bike&ski Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Born in Petersburg, and went to WVU, but living in South Jersey now. The family is from WV for as far back as we can trace things. I get back to Pendleton county every couple of years for reunions and such, and my VERY EARLY caching attempts were in that area. Didn't know enough to log DNFs then, but I'm due for a trip back maybe this summer. Quote
+Katerbug Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 During breaks I'm in Ridgeley(Mineral County). During school I live in the dorms of Shepherd University, Shepherdstown(Jefferson County). There are about six of us interested at Shepherd, and more than likely all of us would be more than willing to come out to an event cache if there's ever one relatively close by. Quote
+braintreks Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 We're in the Williamstown/Vienna area - Wood County, - good to meet you in Wheeling ScoutingWV Quote
bigwes Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 I'm from Birch River wv, but im going to school in fairmont. I think some of you are jeep club members as am I. User Jeepinwv has a cache at coopers rock. Check out www.jeepinwv.com we have a cache section there too Quote
+ScoutingWV Posted April 14, 2006 Author Posted April 14, 2006 We're in the Williamstown/Vienna area - Wood County, - good to meet you in Wheeling ScoutingWV Same here, BrainTreks. It's always good to put faces with GeoNicks. Can't believe I'm just gettting back to this thread. Been busy with the WV DeLorme Challenge lately... Need to go find some caches of my own this weekend.

+wade_caching_team Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Hello from Bluefield, WV. I and my family are new to caching. Looking for a group in the State or in our region. Interested in any info you can pass along. Quote
Catman76 Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Pineville, WV here Its a bit SW of Beckley, county seat of Wyoming co. Im not as active geocaching as I once was, but I still do from time to time. Quote
+jilanna Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Only four finds under my belt, but loving every minute of it. Ripley, WV here. Quote
+ajayhawkfan Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 From Kansas City, MO but WV is one of my favorite states to cache. I have found caches in the Beckley-Charleston-Point Pleasant-Summersville-Huntington area as well as both pan handles. I can't wait for my business to get me back to WV. Quote
esdaddy Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 http://tristategeocachers.freeforums.org/index.php i put together this forum still in the works..... new to the game... kenova area here. Quote
+WVangler Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 There are currently 4 other forums for WV now... Tri State area (WV, KY, OH) MAGPI (Mountaineer Geocaching Persons of Interest) Mostly Morgantown/Fairmont/Clarksburg area, but there are several of us from other parts of the state who are active on there...hence why there is also a sMAGPI portion of the site (the "s" referring to "Southern"). Statewide Outdoor Adventure Sport site including geocaching This is a site I created. Ohio Valley Geocaching (northern panhandle area) There has been some rumbling of a group formed in the eastern panhandle as well, but I don't know their website yet. Hope these links help others. I created the WVMountainsport site because I didn't know of the other groups. Maybe these links will save other folks the effort and headache of getting in touch with other WV cachers. Quote
+Nubster Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 There has been some rumbling of a group formed in the eastern panhandle as well, but I don't know their website yet. Here is the beginnings of the eastern panhandle site just FYI... Mountain State Geocaching Society http://msgps.org/ Quote
