Three NoVAGO cachers cphug, blrkt, and Buglady1 all met at Lake Fairfax Park to give a presentation on geocaching to 29 campers for Ravenquest. This camp aims at providing new discoveries to disadvantaged youth between 12 – 15 years of age. Five cache boxes were placed around the park filled with ingredients for Smores. The 3 volunteer cachers gave a presentation about geocaching and how the game works then took the groups out on a real cache hunt to find the boxes. A great time was had by all! Special thanks to our contact Chris Goldbecker who coordinated the early communication and set up support. Thanks also to TooWheelin & Rufnredy for passing this great volunteering opportunity to NoVAGO members. Pix will be posted when Buglady1 can figure out where to upload…stay tuned..
