Northern Virginia Geocaching Organization

July 8th is shaping up to be a busy day! Since they are both very close together it makes perfect sense to attend both the NoVAGO Summer CITO and the MGS for their 2017 Summer Picnic.  Both groups are looking forward to meeting up and mingling with each other. Here is more information about the NoVAGO CITO: https://coord.info/GC76631 As always NoVAGO will have bags and some supplies on hand for the clean up.  We always welcome boxes of bags and other clean up materials to be donated to us to be used at future CITO’s.

Join NoVAGO and other area geocachers for a summer CITO at Scott’s Run. A popular place for hiking and families, Scott’s Run experiences a high volume of traffic especially during the summer. Let’s help keep the trail beautiful and protect the flora and fauna by picking up while enjoying some hiking in the woods. Bring water to keep yourself hydrated and sturdy shoes for the nature trails. If you have gloves or trash grabbers, bring them along as well. Please note that both parking lots at Scott’s Run are rather small. and we recommend carpooling if possible. If demand dictates, we will expand the clean-up to nearby Riverbend Park (which affords additional parking opportunities). Keep an eye on the cache page for additional details.   Great Scott!

NoVAGO invites to you lend a hand, picnic with friends, and celebrate the 2016 NoVAGO Cache Awards! We will kick off the day with the ¡No Bull! ¡Pick that up! CITO.  From 10 a.m. until 11:30 we will be helping clean up a portion of a long Cub Run north of Bull Run Regional Park.   This weekend kicks off the 2017 CITO weeks where you can earn souvenir for your Geocaching profile.  As this park is our host for Sunday’s picnic, it will be a great way to give back to the area! By coincidence the spring event lands in the same park it was in 10 years ago!  We liked the name so much we decided to use it again.  So please join us at our Bull Run Bonanza Returns at Shelter 5 where NoVAGO will be grilling up hamburgers and hot dogs.  Please bring a dish to share and plan to … Continue reading →
