Come One ... Come All ... to a relaxed, informal event where the
only requirement is to have a good time!
Of Course, everyone is welcome from newbie to the most
experienced cachers. In addition to our MGS friends, we would
especially like to extend an invitation to our neighbors to the
south, the Fredericksburg and Central Virginia geocachers, to any
and all West Virginia geocachers, the Shenandoah Area, and any
other cachers who may be in the area and want to drop in.
What better place to be on a fall day in November than a
geocaching event where you can get good food, lots of nearby
caches, and have the opportunity to share your experiences with a
great group of cachers.
Important Information
* NoVAGO will provide the hamburgers and hot dogs, while the
rest of the food is potluck, provided by event attendees! Keep in
mind that even if there are 100 people showing up, you do not need
to bring enough to feed 100 people! If 100 people bring enough to
feed 100 people, that's way too much food, even for us!
*Please post your Will Attend log with:
1. What you intend to bring. If you don't know now, please post it
as the event gets closer so we can keep track of who is bringing
what and try to fill in holes. A list will be posted periodically
for you to see what others are bringing. No dish, dessert or drink
will get turned away! All food is welcome! and 2. How many people
you are RSVP'ing for (so we can get an accurate
head-count).
