Welcome to the Northern Virginia Geocaching Organization!

The Northern Virginia Geocaching Association (NoVAGO) is a group of Northern Virginia geocachers who are committed to promoting safe, responsible, and environmentally friendly geocaching. We welcome the involvement and cooperation of park management and government to work with us in the development of this activity both to benefit both geocachers and parks alike. The NoVAGO also provides a way for people to come together to organize regional activities and events (see the Event Calendar) that will promote the credibility of the sport and bring families together in an outdoor environment.

Please spend some time on our site. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!

Official AnnouncementsTooWheelin writes "Just a gentle reminder that this year our (rescheduled) Spring event, the NoVAGO Spring Fling - Redux (GC1BHNG) is this coming Saturday, 10 May 08, at Algonkian Regional Park. Good food, good friends, and a good time!! Lots of caches in the local area, and I hear there are even some new ones.

 NoVAGO Meet & Greet and Cryptophobia Support Group GC18KFF

Geocaching EventsTooWheelin writes "Please mark 2 February 2008 on your calendar, and plan to attend!! The "Event" has been in the scrolling window on the homepage for awhile, but it is easy to miss... so I thought I would throw out a reminder. The first Event of 2008 promises to be one you will not want to miss. You will get a chance to meet the 2008 NoVAGO Board, and to participate in a general membership meeting. Put faces to names, renew friendships, meet the new members, and before I forget...bring any and all new ideas on how we can help NoVAGO grow and prosper. There will be a puzzle cache solving presentation after the general membership meeting, great for those of you (us) who are puzzle challenged."
