First event in the 2022 NOVAGO U series was published earlier this week for the three teams to start competing.

Submissions came in just under the deadline, with team DNF holding off until the very last few minutes. Team PAF had 14 team mates in their photos. Team DNF had 13 team mates in their photos.

Teams started forming as early as 9:30am on Sunday, August 14th at a kick-off event in Sterling, VA. A second event was held later in the day in Lorton. Geocachers who attended the events were asked if they wanted to join one of three Greek houses to make college life a bit more fun for the next several months. Choices were PAF, DNF, and GPS. Some noted that there wasn’t a team FTF, which would have been their first choice.
