funny to watch these newbies hunt for a couple of caches.

How did a picnic of a few geocachers in 2001 grow into a non-profit
organization with 500+ members? How has geocaching changed in
the St. Louis area over the past 8 years?

A few SLAGA members have been compiling the history of SLAGA,
culminating in a document that explains why we got started
presenting public training classes, how we have worked with local
land managers on geocaching policies and how a community of
hobbiest has developed in the St. Louis area.

There were many reunions at this year's GeoWoodstock VII between
geocachers who hadn't seen each other since the last mega event,
but one of the most unusual was a reunion of a cacher and his travel
bug. This reunion was unusual because the travel bug had managed
to travel 33,000 miles without disappearing and, in the process,
accomplished multiple missions, finding its way back to its owner 6
years after its release ...

Mike Nagl had never heard of geocaching until he pulled a cache
container out of the Mississippi River with his crane this spring.

There, nestled in a log jam and caked in mud, was a box with
the word "Official" on it.

L Frank writes: "We calculate that it traveled 367 miles in
about 9 months."

"The GPS Adventures Arkansas Maze Exhibit is a smaller, regional version
of the nationally touring GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit and prominently
features Arkansas State Parks. The educational exhibit will travel to 7
Arkansas museums over the next three-and-a-half years. Attendees will
learn about GPS through interactive science experiences in a 1,500
square foot indoor maze and an outdoor GPS training course."

"Join us for the launch of the exhibit on Saturday, May 16th at the
Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources!"

Fried Okra

"Gredgeman and I have had a trip to the Seattle area planned since
mid December of last year. As time grew near we realized that we
had a unique opportunity to claim 13 of the 14 active Geocaching
icons in one day. The only icon we were not able to log was a
MEGA event. We decided to make this trip more about completing
this quest than stacking up numbers. We were glad we did. We
were fortunate enough to see many incredible places and meet
some even more incredible people ..."

"Nichiren Dinzeo, founder of Geocaching in SL, felt the transition from
caching in real life to caching in SL was a natural move with many
positive points. 'The first and foremost goal of our group has been to
establish a high quality geocaching sport modeled after the successful
global real world sport of geocaching while also tweaking it to
accommodate the in-world technology available to us ..."
