Wow...this is depressing

There have to be a lot of Geocachers in this area because there are over 250 caches within 5 miles of my home....but when I did a search on meetup.com hoping to find a local group I see that the nearest group is nowhere near. Are there other ways to find local geocaching groups?

that meetup group website it awesome, BUT not everything is on there. I had heard about many certain dog breed groups and when i went looking, nothing....so its kind of like finding a great apartment in a city where nothing is available....word of mouth?

Check the cache pages, often the person will promote their local group.

 

Go to an event and meet the locals.

 

Scroll through the list of groups by state at the head of this forum.

Good luck with that. I used to have an id there but it must have been deleted through lack of use. I tried to sign up a couple weeks ago and still haven't had my id approved by an admin.

Yeah, I signed up a week ago but still haven't been approved. What gives?

I will go onto the website and contact the forum admin for you. All of our staff is volunteers( normal working people) so we aren't on all day, every day. Also make sure you have field out all necessary fields.

 

Thanks for being patient.

There is a list in the Organized Geocaching section.

List of groups

 

A quick look showed a group for north west Georgia and part of Tennessee.

 

Good luck

why don't you start your own group?
