Mark Twain Lake State Park in Association with the US Army Corps
of
Engineers is proud to present MOGA 2009. The St. Louis Area
Geocachers Association and the MOGA Staff will provide an event
for
all geocachers regardless of physical ability. We will place
over
100 permanent caches for this event. They will range anywhere
from
4/4 to 1/1. All courses will be defined on maps so you can
choose
your course.
Courses will be as follows:
Individual Competition - For those who want to
compete
individually we will have 30 caches available with a terrain of
2
to a terrain of 3.5.
Team Competition - For those who want to compete in the
2
person or 4 person team event, we will have 30 caches
available
with a terrain of 2 to a terrain of 3.5.
Early Bird Non Competitors - We will have 20 caches
that
will be released prior to the event, hopefully by Wednesday,
March
25th, that will allow anyone at anytime to start caching while
the
competitions take place.
Early Bird Park and Grabs - This year we will have 20
park
and grab caches where the terrain might be 1 to 1.5 but the
difficulty will be 3 - 5. These should be released on Wednesday
as
well.
Also this year, you will be allowed to hunt the competition
caches
anytime you want. They will be released on Wednesday Night
for everyone. We will also download the coords and provide the
GPX
files (through GSAK) on Saturday Morning during breakfast.
The
competitors will not be hunting the caches directly this
year.
Instead, they will find the associated punch for that cache.
See
the event manual for full details.We should have it finished by
November 1st
Please watch this page. We have a lot of planning taking place
and
will update it regularly. We will also update the website
regularly. See THE MOGA
WEBSITE for full details on the event.
UPDATE 10-27-2008
This past weekend the MOGA staff went out and hid almost 100 new
caches around Mark Twain Lake. There will be many more added before
the event. It was a great weekend and we managed to come up with
some very tricky hides, beautiful views, easy terrain and tough
terrain, park and grabs, along with some very evil hides! We would
like to thank the following cachers for their donation of caches
for the event.
