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.  The program is designed to get children and families back to the outdoors by incorporating geocaching as a recreational activity (shades of The National Forum on Children & Nature, eh?).  Of course, they’d like some help from the experts….you!!  The event will be listed on Geocaching.com, and I believe there will be new geocaches listed as well.  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 →

Got this feedback a bit ago through the site, thought you all might find it interesting! Message: I read the article in the Loudoun “Connection” which prompted me to take a look at your website. Very nice. I read with interest that Mr. Rountree lives in Ashburn. You might be interested to know that our family, which includes Jeremy Irish, the founder and CEO of Groundspeak, Inc. in Seattle, lived on Wayside Circle for 7 years from 1991 to 1998. Jeremy left Virginia in 1998 to work in Seattle for an IT firm, then created the website that led to this popular sport. We are his parents, now living in Colorado, and watch with amazement as the sport continues to grow. Best of luck to NoVAGo! Thanks for writing, Mr. Irish! And thanks for allowing me to share your note. robert … Continue reading →
