A Bunch of Information/Updates

Do you want to know the latest on the archiving of SNAP!!!-land?


Do you want to know what changes we are making to SLOGGERS?


Do you want information on the latest Events coming to Hampton Roads?


If the answer is YES to any of the above you are in the correct place!!!

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.
