DrDumbAss Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Hi... I've been geocaching in the area for around 3 years and have only had the opportunity to meet a few of the other geocachers in the Upper Ottawa Valley. I thought that I'd like to get a caching event organized similar to the Spring Cache Challenge going on in Thunder Bay (April 21 - April 22). Interested parties place a few new caches in the area and we spend a day or so trying to find them and then get together at a local restaurant to meet, greet and possibly set up a mailing list or area caching association. It would be really nice to put some faces to many of the areas cachers. Pembroke would probably be best for a restaurant but that is definitely something we can discuss. I'd be willing to travel from Petawawa as far as Cobden down Hwy 17 and as far up Hwy 17 as Rolphton. And similar distances towards Eganville, etc. Talk it up people! It can only be good for geocaching in the area... Yours in the spirit of the hunt, Dr. Dumbass (Is there anywhere he WON'T look?)

+GPComd Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hey Doc! I'm up for a cache meet of some sort. The problem this spring with dates and such - quite a few of the cachers in the area are military. Most of us will be out of the area between early April to mid May. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to tag a few finds out in Alberta, don't know how much (if any) time off we'll be getting. Maybe the May-24 weekend would be a good choice, and if it's in the first week of June, I'd have time to set and plant some new caches before a meet. GPC Quote Link to comment
DrDumbAss Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 Great... I wasn't necessarily thinking of April anyway. Late May to early June suits me just fine. Never really go on holidays until later in the warm season. Please spread the word to any of your military (or non-military) caching friends/acquaintances in the area and point 'em to the forum discussion. Good Hunting DrDumbAss Hey Doc!
