  • hunter-killer: I posted 2 for your event, but refrained from posting the one with you in that chiffon evening gown. That was just nasty.

  • Wandering_Man: Still no sign of pics from C&C... Apparently we are working under the same principle as Vegas. Whatever happens at C&C, stays at C&C...

  • jleecollins: Heading home this morning from Toronto.  Will pick up a few caches on the way.  Still forecasting warm weather today and the rest of the week - should be great for travelling

  • shroomAzoom: Beautiful weekend we just had. Perfect for hiding SCC caches, eh? :)
    March 08, 2010, 07:45:26 AM
  • jleecollins: Slow day today - only 9 caches and 2 DNF's - heading home tomorrow
    March 07, 2010, 11:21:15 PM
  • jleecollins: If there was a couple more hours of daylight, who knows what we would have found.  We think we walked about 20 kilometres today doing the rail trail caches.  Now I just have to enter them in geocaching.  I am about 3 days behind entering.

    March 05, 2010, 09:17:17 AM
  • shroomAzoom: I've got a couple on my camera at home. I'll try to put them up this weekend. Northern Seals are the real photographers though. I'd love to see their photos!

Welcome Geocachers!

The NorWest Ontario Geocachers are a group of geocachers from Northwest Ontario, from our provincial border to the east, across the north shore of Lake Superior and to all points north. We get together throughout the year to hold geocaching events and challenges (like the Spring Cache Challenge and the Fall Eco Cache Challenge.) In addition to social and contest events, we encourage the hiding of quality caches and promote safe, fun and exciting geocaching to the community.

* NWOG Coin Race Stats

Well we are heading into the home stretch here folks and it appears that Ragbag has a commanding lead. The good news is the areo-cacher who is responsible for the mega-miles has finally dropped the coin off for good. Now the question is can anyone make up the massive amount of miles in the next month and a half. ~WM
