+Kreebelle Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I've lured some of my friends in other areas to begin geocaching, and several have joined local groups of geocachers. Has anyone thought of starting a Silicon Valley Geocachers Society? I can mention of a San Francisco Bay Area Geocachers group but can't seem to find anything related specifically to the South Bay area. I'd like to start such a group. I am envisioning a low-fuss organization ... open to any/all who want to participate. I would volunteer to create a web site that has such things as: -- Cache of the Week -- Cacher of the Month (except for those who lead double lives and don't want to be identified ...) -- Stickers we can have to identify our caches as one of ours, as trade items, etc. I could probably figure out a way to pipe in news of new caches from the geocaching.com site. Any other great ideas? Anyone want to become a charter member (first 9 of you can be on the Board of Directors with me <grin>, after that we can do it a bit more democratically). Drop me an email: kloosley@sbcglobal.net if you'd like to talk about it ... Kristine Kreebelle Quote Link to comment
+montythemule Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I'm in, maybe it could be called the "Silicon Gulch Geocachers Social Club"? ***************************************** This Space Intentionally Left Blank [This message was edited by montythemule on August 27, 2003 at 01:11 PM.] Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I'm in Scotts Valley but have always worked in the valley. If the offer still stands, I'd love to be in. Just email me via my profile when you're ready to talk about it. Quote Link to comment
+Kreebelle Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 I've started a Yahoo Groups list to facilitate a discussion of this group. I find it easier to do Yahoo than this Geospeak forum (forgive me, I just do!) ... so if you'd like to join, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/siliconvalleygeocachers/ I've set it up to require approval for joining. This is not meant to exclude anyone except spammers -- go ahead and join and I'll add you as soon as I'm on line next. Thanks! Kristine Kreebelle Quote Link to comment

I think that Team Stitches On Quilts was the big proponent of the Bay Area Geocachers group, but they seem to have dropped off the face of the earth, unfortunately. I think your idea is a good one, and I have joined your Yahoogroup. You might want to talk to MIGO, CACHE, or GGA to get some tips on starting a geocaching organization. Find out how they did it etc. ------------------------------------- Becky Davis Geocaching blog San Jose, CA Quote Link to comment
