MEGA Events Questions

[+Pond Bird]

1. Is there going to be a Allegheny State Park Geobash in 2016? I haven't gone before but It looks fun.

2. The "MOGA Event" is something that has gone on for years. Does each year have a theme? or is it also about "Cache Olympics"

1. Yes per their facebook page at least. The event is usually published 6 months before it occurs, so look for it to be listed in December.

I saw it listed earlier this month. I also discovered that In NY events can only be listed up to 3 months ahead of time or 6 months if its a mega event. I also understand there was a process to make the Geobash a "Mega" listing so that it can legally be published earlier than 3 months before the date.

The ASP Geobash has been a Mega since either 2006 or 2007.

Yes as long as there is proof each year's will be a mega it will be granted mega status. I'm saying theres a process to getting the event to be listed since "Mega" event isn't an option when hiding a cache or hosting an event.

Of course. I'm wondering if the MOGA events always had the "Cache olympics" or if thats the theme.

Did you happen to notice the /2016 and the end of the website url? You can replace that with 2015 or 2014, etc, and see for yourself.
