+Bjorn74 Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 (edited) Could a moderator please pin a Regional Organizations list in the Midwest Forum? It should help new cachers get started a little easier. Ohio groups include: Northwest Ohio Geocachers (http://www.nwogeo.org) Northeast Ohio Geocachers (http://www.neogeocachers.com) (updated) Central Ohio Geocachers (http://www.cogeocaching.org) West Central Ohio (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WCOhioGeoCachers/) OKIC (Tri-State OH, KY, IN) (http://www.okic.org/) CACHE (Cincinnati, also) (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/C_A_C_H_E/) EDIT: Updated NEO Edited December 29, 2003 by Bjorn74 Quote
+RPW Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 The main Indiana group is: www.indianageocaching.com Quote
+Runaround Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 For the Northeast Ohio group, use www.neogeocachers.com instead. Quote
TimSkells Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 (edited) why cant http://www.neogeocachers.com be a sweeet website like http://www.nwogeo.org lol Edited December 29, 2003 by ALgeocacher Quote
+Genoist Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 (edited) For those of us who live in the northeast part of the state (Indiana that is), there is Fort Wayne Geo Edited December 30, 2003 by Genoist Quote
+Bjorn74 Posted March 22, 2004 Author Posted March 22, 2004 I'm still hoping that some day we'll deserve a sticky that lists the regional groups. Maybe when we become a real part of the country? Wait, we already are. Quote
+Smitherington Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 (edited) The Michigan site is MiGO, Michigan Geocaching Organization. MiGO A great organization. Great people. Excellent patricipation from Michigan geocachers. Nearly 1000 members. Check it out. Edited March 22, 2004 by Smitherington Quote
+WindChill Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Though not in the midwest region acoording to gc.com, since Iowa is surrounded on three sides by "you guys" Ill list Eastern Iowa Geocachers Association. Our "regional" pages have lists of caches (chosen by "the locals") for folks passing through and wanting to make the best use of their time. Quote
+Cathunter Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 (edited) The Wisconsin Geocaching Association (WGA) is hosting a campout May 14-17. Well over 100 cachers are expected for the event. Edited March 23, 2004 by Cathunter Quote
+CYBret Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 There's L.E.G.S. (Little Egypt Geocaching Society) in Southern Illinois and I.C.A.C.H.E. (Illinois Central Area Cache Hunting Enthusiasts) in the middle of the state. Bret Quote
+fly46 Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I know that PA isn't part of our region, but for some of us like me, where caches in PA are 12 miles from my house and events are closer for me to go to PA for them.... Here's their Yahoo group.. I don't remember if they have a regular site or not since all I go to is the y!group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NWPAGeoCachers/ Quote
+WGA Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 I pinned the topic as requested. Lets try to keep this topic to a list of midwest geocaching organizations. I'll keep it pinned as we stay on topic. Quote
+WGA Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 Bjorn74, how about making your starting a topic a comprehensive list of all the groups as they are listed? Quote
+15Tango Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) One of the best Midwest organizations out there--Minnesota Geocaching Association Edited April 23, 2004 by 15Tango Quote
+Bjorn74 Posted May 8, 2004 Author Posted May 8, 2004 Bjorn74, how about making your starting a topic a comprehensive list of all the groups as they are listed? I can't edit it. I also stopped watching these forums a few months ago. Thanks for the sticky, though. Quote
+StarBrand Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 We have a new one that bridges the midwest with The RockyMountain Area - Wyoming - Nebraska Area Geocachers (WNAG) Quote

+NoLemon Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 The group for central Illinois, ICACHE (mentioned above) has been disolved. The new group for central Illinois is Central Illinois Geocachers Association (C.I.G.A.). Quote
+Team Cammo Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 There's a loosely organized group up and running in the Northern Lower and Upper Penninsula area of Michigan, check us out at Northern Michigan Geocachers Quote
+pascal1947 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) Since noone else has done it, I'll add an entry for the Chi-Town Cachers covering NE Illinois to the Wisconsin and Indiana borders. There is a fairly active Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chicago_geocachers/ and a Web page which is undergoing updating and construction at Chi-Town Cachers Edited February 9, 2005 by pascal1947 Quote
+4agers Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 It certainly isn't an organized, but a lot of cachers from Northeast Ohio come and chat and talk on geochums. http://www.geochums.com Quote
+Rdut&Gabwp Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 Is there an Ohio group that covers the Dayton area? I don't see a southwest group listed at the beginning of this topic. TIA Gabwp Quote
+BVCY Swim Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Is there an Ohio group that covers the Dayton area? I don't see a southwest group listed at the beginning of this topic.

+daggy Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Don't forget InKy. This is the geocaching social group in the Southern Indiana/Louisville, Kentucky area. Check out website at: InKy webpage Quote
+RPW Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Going along with INKY, NEIgeo and the other local caching groups in Indiana (as compared to the overall Indiana geocaching group which ties everything together), we have formed CINCO to be the local group in the northwest of Indy region; i.e., Kokomo, Lebanon, Lafayette, Monticello, Logansport. We are going to have our first event in early Nov, 2005 with plans for events at least every other month after that. The events will be small meet'n'greets. See www.cincogeo.com for more information.

+WascoZooKeeper Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Since noone else has done it, I'll add an entry for the Chi-Town Cachers covering NE Illinois to the Wisconsin and Indiana borders. There is a fairly active Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chicago_geocachers/ and a Web page which is undergoing updating and construction at Chi-Town Cachers While the Yahoo group still exists and gets occasional traffic, the new organization for the Chicago metro area is Geocachers of Northeastern Illinois. The home page also includes a link to the group's forums, which have been proving to be a far better communication/discussion vehicle than the Yahoo group. Quote
+Indy Diver Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) Now that we are kicking off the new group for southern Indiana I thought I should jump in and post a note. Here are the first three kick off meetings to be held next month. Ready.. Set.. IndiGO -Seymour Ready.. Set.. IndiGO -Evansville Ready.. Set.. IndiGO -Indianapolis Ready.. Set..

Roanoke, North Manchester, Urbana, and Warsaw- actually quite a cache-dense area... Quote

Seekret Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 New! I'm in Naperville, IL and would like to know of any groups out this way, and if there is none, I would like to start one. I don't even have a GPS unit yet, but I did find 2 caches in Minnesota a few years ago, so I have a basic idea of how this works. Hope to see a response! I joined a Yahoo group but there hadn't been posts in months, so hopefully I'll find other cachers somehow. I'm a return-ee to the chicago area, don't have any friends left so am anxious to meet some new people. Ta ta! Quote
+mintaka Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 I have seen a reference to the old Fort Wayne group but not the "new" group. Here it is: Fort Wayne Geocachers Quote
