+Cincinnati Bearcaches Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I am new to geocaching.Looking for a Cincinnati area club. Any out there with monthly/bimonthly meetings, activities, etc? If not, is there any interest? Quote Link to comment
+Ladybuggers! Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 As of yet, there is no geocaching clubs here in Cincinnati. I can assure you that there is an interest in starting one. We have some terrific cachers around here and we enjoy the get togethers that we do have. We don't have anyone with the drive to get us going or the volunteers to lead us. Without too much effort, I think someone could get the ball rolling. Ladybuggers! Quote Link to comment
+Team Mixster Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 After meeting everyone last night, I'm seriously considering putting something together. My biggest fear though is that work (unfortunately) comes first so if I get bogged down I don't want to slow anyone else down. First we need a name - any ideas? GeoCinners? -Team Mixster Quote Link to comment
+Ladybuggers! Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I would have to suggest that we need something that includes all of the areas around here. Since Cincinnati is so close to Ky and In. Maybe something like OKICachers or Tri-State Caching Club. Something like that anyway. Just my opinion. Ladybuggers! Quote Link to comment
+Team Mixster Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Hmm, I like the Tri-State Caching Club. You know, we should probably just get something started like a Yahoo Forum or something to begin with, and any decisions to be made, or meetings could be through there... The other question is, how many tri-state cachers are reading the forums? Quote Link to comment
+Scook Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I always scan the forums for Cincinnati area activity. While I live in Detroit, I've always considered myself a "Cincinnatian" and would be interested in meeting some of the local cachers. I'd also like to join any group that may form. I'm only in town about once a month or so to visit my mom in Florence, KY. "Adrift in a world he never made!" Quote Link to comment
+Team Mixster Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 So you'd be one of the few that understands the significance of 'Florence Y'all!' I show people from home a picture (they live near Lansing, MI) and they just roll their eyes... If you're down on May 3rd, we're organizing to do a Cincinnati area park clean-up, and could probably talk more about a group then... -Mixster Quote Link to comment
+Possum Posse Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 We had a great time meeting everyone last Thursday night. Special thanks to the Ladybuggers for arranging it. We think Tri-State Caching Club would be a good name for this three state area.

+Draegon Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Well well... I've been thinking of contacting some of the bigger cachers in and around Cincinnati to make a "Cincinnati Hardcore Cachers Club" or some such but was aloof as to if any of the other area cachers would even be interested. My ideas were that the Club would host the annual picnics and try and maintain caches from lost cachers (we miss you Jim) and so on. I was even kinda considering looking up info on non-profit orginization info, so that if the club had dues we could pay for those caches and picnics with that. I think I'll just have to meet up with the 'buggers. Email me if you get this message before I contact you, been busy ya' know.

+Ladybuggers! Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Looks like we might actually get this thing up and running. After our CITO event today we had a meeting to discuss the possibility of starting our own geocaching club. We had a very possitive response to the suggestion. We will have our first meeting on June 12th at 7:00. We will discuss the name for our group, elect officers/leaders, select committees and all other pertinent details. Watch for a picnic cache or a cache event on that day with all the details and coords. It will be in Sprigdale. Either in a park or at the Fire House. See you all there. Lets have a great turnout so we get everyone opinion! Jamey Ladybuggers! Quote Link to comment
jbanta Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 new to the scene, but enjoying it already. live and cache mainly right now in nky. but I claim cincy as home not sure what you are planning on doing for a club, but if needed/wanted I can make a decent site for the club....i won't be able to make it to the meeting but if something is wanted I can create, and it will be in php so several ppl can maintain update(with forums, news, everything..... see orfw.org for an example.) if this is of interest, let me know.... i can possibly host it even if everyone is ok with it being either a subdomain of either jbanta.org or eatsleepjeep.com....since those are two I own..) ok I am rambling, but i am love geocaching, and wanting to help the people in the area....let me know what ya think. email - geocache @ jbanta . org Quote Link to comment
+Ladybuggers! Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Hey jbanta, I looked at the websites you mentioned and they look pretty good. I will bring it up at the meeting som everyone knows about your offer. Jamey Ladybuggers! Quote Link to comment
+Team Mixster Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Just did a domain search and all of the tagg.* ones are taken, but tristatecachers.* is open. I'd spring for the domain if we choose to go that route... -Mike (obviously the domain name depends on the outcome of the group name on 6/12) Quote Link to comment
+Ladybuggers! Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Tomorrow's the day for our first meeting. Hope anyone that's interested will be there. Jamey Ladybuggers! Quote Link to comment
crappiefisher Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 so, what was the outcome of the meeting? i've just found this forum and am interested in joining. i've been geocaching for about 2 months now. Quote Link to comment
+Ladybuggers! Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 We are in the process of getting our group up and running. We talk over alot of stuff and elected a Steering Committee. Our steering committee is haveing their first meeting tonight July 2nd. We have to set all of our guidelines for our committee heads and start heading forward with all the plans we have. You can log into our Yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tristategeocachers/ and you can keep up with most everything. We also have the starting of our own website which is here: http://www.geocities.com/grenisar/ You will be able to keep up to date at one or the other of those two places. Jamey Ladybuggers!

jbanta Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 by the way in speaking with grenisar we were trying to find a spot that we can host the slub site temp so we didn't have all the ads as well as host pictures and everything else. I have donated webspace on my domain, as well as set up the basics of the site. It is still in creation but it is one that is usable....with some additions in the future. check out http://okic.jbanta.org jbanta Quote Link to comment
katybird Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I just starting caching this week, and noticed the Ladybuggers were at a couple of finds the day before me. They somehow seemed so friendly, that I thought I'd email them, and they're emailed me back. I'd be VERY interested in getting involved. It would be fun to explore the region together with a group. xoxoKatybird Quote Link to comment
