One of the goals of the Club is to host, assist, and promote local events for geocachers. We have a good start now with 5 events already from February through March. We would like to add a Puzzle Day, a CITO, a summer hike and cache event, some meet-ups, and more. Get involved – come out to events, join the club, come up with your own idea. Cache on!
