+Team GeoCan Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Who is in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties? Is there a informal Caching group or should one be started? This is one of the DENSEST geocaching regions on the planet, somehow I think a geo-group would be possible. Trash-out, EVERYtime ~~ Geo-cach-er, n. generally a highy technically competent person with lots of free time.

+carivercpl Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 well there is a "informal Caching group"thru this web page... http://www.scgeocachers.org we meet to do group caches and have get together...this does encompass all of the so. cal. area, so i dont know if you want to start a local club for just the IE only...we are from corona and we are always ready to hook up with a cacher for some hunts near and far...

4x4van Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I'm in Banning, i.e. the San Gorgonio Pass. I'd be interested in some group cache events! We don't stop playing because we grow old...we grow old because we stop playing! Quote Link to comment

+Team GeoCan Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 What I am looking for is a semi-formal, (or just palin casual) group who can meet for cache events, coffee, or just to plan a picnic or somethig, we could evn set up a "combined" cache that would draw others into our area, for improved caching. On my caches I try tio have a theme, I have two tours (not all caches on each tour are mine), one deals with Route 66, and the other deals with the Earp family. Suggestions?

+Team GeoCan Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Ok lets define some limits. The InlandEmpire is commonly referenced as: San Bernardino and Riverside counties, but tthat covers a WIDE area. Where should we set limits of inclusion? Secondly what is the TOUGHEST access cache in the area? The Remotest? The Highest? The Lowest,? (Badwater is at -282 feet, is there a cache there? Salton Sea is about -80 feet, a cache there?)

FullOn Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hey, don't forget about me! Rancho Cucamonga is alive and thriving these days. You can't go a block without running into a construction site. As Carivercpl said, you just missed the Pizza Bash in Corona back in July. The next event planned is in Thousand Oaks which I will be attending. Although not an "official" Southern California Geocachers event, I'll be representing. I would imagine the next event would take place in January, after the holidays. Probably another pizza event. I would also imagine that we'll probably be holding it in the Brea area perhaps. Feel free to come on by the Southern California Geocachers site. Lots of friendly peeps in there! And come on out and join us for the ascent of Mt. Baldy if you can!

+Team GPSaxophone Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Are there any events planned around Christmas or New Years? We'll be back out there then, although we might spend most of our time in San Diego this trip. Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment
+Team GeoCan Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 I thought perhaps we would find a conveniemnt time, and set up a cache, and have a get to know each other dinner somewhere.

+carivercpl Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Well Bo you set it up and we will try to make it...But dont be surprise if you get folks from outside the IE to show up...I have found that geocachers just like to hook up and "party"...Oh the some of the toughest hikes I have done in the IE is around Box Canyon area, do the "C" cache from the bottom or gorgonio 1/2 way, or do all the box canyon caches in a day...or Doc Bob has a few over in the local hills above Corona and Lake Elsanore.

Yes, we're out of area cachers to you, but we’re interested because we used to live out there. I'm from San Diego, but lived in Riverside, Moreno Valley, and Yucaipa. The wife is from Rancho Cucamonga. Webfoot was even her Jr. High teacher! We travel out there 1-3 times a year to visit family.

+Team GeoCan Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 OK The RACE is on!!! Once upon a time there were TWIN helecopters who made a bet. Race around the World, finishing before Dec 5, 2003 Rules: 1. Visit England 2. Visit Japan or Australia 3. Visit Hawaii Hurry said to Harry, "I bet I can get around the world in 80 days, just like Phineas Fogg." Harry replied, "I bet I can too, and I bet that I can BEAT you around the world." So sure enough these two twins decided that they would race around the world, and try to be back at the start by December 5, 2003, and enjoy a nice Christmas season at home. So the Race is on.... http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=52184 Hurry The Helecopter http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=44409 Harry The Helecopter Both are in http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=95062 "Ask the Manager cache" In San Bernardino.... Feel free to join with your own bug or move one along.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THIS is the PUBLIC face of Geocaching, when someone learns of the sport this is where they come to learn more, what are YOU showing them? http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/ International Black Sheep Society of Genealogists Quote Link to comment
