SNAP!!!-land
Virginia's Largest Geo-Art
My inbox has been bursting with emails asking if we could
delay the archiving of SNAP!!!-land (the "OH SNAP" geo-art)
for at least a few weeks so "fill in the blank" has time to come and do the art.
So......
Knowing that we do not want to interfere with some other
big events happening in a few months,
we will wait until at least July to archive SNAP!!!-land.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SLOGGERS
First of all, SLOGGERS Outing #3 was a success.
A little over 3 miles covered, 12 caches on the list and 11 were found.
---------------------------------
The 4th SLOGGERS Outing we be held in
Virginia Beach (exact location to be determined).
---------------------------------
Stand by for more information - April and May are very busy months for us.
