Hey!, do you enjoy finding micro caches? – how about traditionals, puzzles, multis….does just finding a cache of any type brings a “Smilie” to your face? Well, here’s your chance to recognize those caches and cachers that bring you so much joy. Voting instructions and the list of NoVAGO’s 2010 most outstanding caches and cachers is below …and it’s time to pick your favorites by voting. The polls close at midnight on April 30th, and the most outstanding caches and cachers will be announced shortly thereafter – probably at the NoVAGO Spring Event. Please take the time to vote.
NoVAGO’s 2010 Geocache Awards
Below are the caches and cachers up for awards. Votes will be accepted up until midnight May 10th. Vote by picking one cache or cacher from each category, and email your votes to: 2010awards@novago.org Please include your geocaching userid.
There will be extra incentive to visit these caches, in the form of another cache, Coming Soon!, that you can log after you fulfill the requirements for the cache.
I’ve created an annotated bookmark list with all the nominated caches.
