April Chapter News
The Cache-Cadians welcomed in spring on March 10 with a big turnout for an event at the Wok About Grill in Wenatchee. CITO plans and WSGA coins were among the topics discussed, and 5 new members joined the WSGA ranks -- welcome!

Special recognition was given to mmauvil for placing 25 caches last year, including one that claimed WSGA Cache of the Month. Another chapter cacher K-Ddid celebrated a recent milestone of 1,500 caches, along with completing the requirements for Platinum Earthcache Master -- congratulations! Cache-Cadian Tenya also celebrated a recent milestone of 500 caches.

March Hike of the Month: The largest turnout for a Cache-cadians HOTM took place at the Lenore Caves area. 17 started the hike and made it to the top of the ridge, while 14 continued across a coulee to an ancient petroglyph. Photo below:

All CITO weekend events arranged by March 25 will be included in the upcoming WSGA CITO t-shirt. It will feature a map of our state with all of the 2009 CITO events plotted on it. Groundspeak will not be producing a CITO shirt this year, so this will be the only 2009 CITO shirt available for the state of Washington. Details about the shirts will be coming soon from Laurie our WSGA President, but don't miss the opportunity for your event to be included!

The WSGA's goal for CITO Weekend 2009 is to have at least two events held within each chapter. If more can be held within any chapters, that will be even better! This is the biggest and best way we have to build good relations with the land managers who oversee all the wonderful places that we get to play, and to give back to our environment.

Putting on a CITO event is very easy to do, but to make it even easier I will be posting additional topics on the CITO forum soon with tips on how to organize a successful CITO event. In the meantime, who in the Cache-Cadian Chapter is going to step up and agree to host an event? Let's hear from you so we can make a big impact in our state with CITO this year!]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:12:25 -0700 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=153 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=22 Hello, everyone! I'm happy to see the new site, it's great. I'm hoping to chat with some of you here in the Cache-cadian forum.

Introduce yourself!

I'll start:

My caching name is Ambrosia, of course. Some of my online friends call my Bro or Bros.

I've lived in Wenatchee since I was 5. I have a lot of family members and friends who cache, and we have a great caching community here.

Our family was introduced to caching by a friend (FLY BOY) on April 27, 2002. On our first day, we set out and did the three closest caches to us: One in Horan Natural Area (GC389E), one at the bottom of Burch Mountain (GC299), and one at Pinnacles State Park (GC5D4). That's only 3 caches within 15 miles, and now there are 420 caches within the same distance!

My life has completely changed since I discovered geocaching, waymarking, etc. It's changed the way I look at the world, and how I process things. I have a hard time picturing life before caching. I love the travel, discovery, beauty, history, and sharing. I cache as much as I can, but I can't cache as much as some people ('Tudles!), due to family, and chronic illness. But fortunately, waymarking and the forums step into the gap at those times.


Please share, or just pop in and say hi! ]]> Wed, 22 Oct 2008 03:52:01 -0700 http://www.wsgaonline.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=22
