The NWF (National Wildlife Federation) is embarking on a Geocaching Program. The pilot program will be held on Saturday, May the 15th 2010 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Walker Nature Education Center, 11450 Glade Drive Reston, VA. A topic outlining this program is currently active in the NoVAGO Events Forum – just click on the blue title bar for this post to goto that topic.

Please go to the forum topic, take a look at the schedule, and see if you can’t spare a little time to promote the pastime … Continue reading

A nifty “numerical” event hosted by flyingmoose. The numbers are significant because the event takes place on 9 September 2009 (9/9/9)…get it?

Moose chose a great venue for the event, the food there is fantastic…and I know the geocacher company will be as well. Mark your calendar…you’ll have a great time.
