  • jleecollins: Anyone still have a copy of Sunday's Chronicle Journal kicking around?  I need a copy of the article on the Pagoda Centennial.  I'll see if I can find one in Marathon.

  • shroomAzoom: Unless someone removed it for a day, put it back and deleted the log, the gallery has been there all along. Chris, thanks for adding the new album. I've renamed a couple of them to avoid redundancy. :)
    Today at 08:53:32 AM
  • ChrisDom: Jim, Look again.  Only the gallery wizard has control.
    February 05, 2010, 09:17:42 PM
  • jleecollins: Well,  I was looking for an album for 2010 which there is none.  Who gets to add that?  Is there anything in the forum to give an expanation to add photos?
    February 05, 2010, 08:43:51 PM
  • hunter-killer: The option to add to the gallery was missing yesterday. There was nothing to click. Even being logged in. Today it's there ???
    February 05, 2010, 02:39:46 PM
  • shroomAzoom: Go to the gallery, select an album, click "Add an item to this album." Then just follow the instuctions. :)

  • jleecollins: OK!!  How do we add pictures to the Gallary???
    February 04, 2010, 01:39:10 PM
  • jleecollins: Ah! That's why!
    February 02, 2010, 03:49:20 PM
  • hunter-killer: That wasn't a groundhog, that was your moustache.
    February 02, 2010, 11:47:19 AM
  • jleecollins: Be prepared for 6 more weeks of winter.  The groundhog saw its shadow in Marathon today after great effort getting that animal out in the cold
    February 02, 2010, 10:20:25 AM
  • jleecollins: Just think tomorrow the groundhog will see its shadow and we will only have 6 more weeks of winter.  And some people think that is a bad things!!!

  • jleecollins: Slow day in Paradise?
    February 01, 2010, 05:16:38 PM
  • jleecollins: That's over 17000 active caches.
    January 31, 2010, 05:34:42 PM
  • jleecollins: I see that Ontario is now only 17000 published actives caches.  So lets go out and get them.
    January 31, 2010, 04:55:19 PM
  • jleecollins: There should be no real requirements for hte cache to be selected - just an interesting cache - could be simple or more complicated
    January 29, 2010, 09:47:19 AM
  • jleecollins: I would say something like submission for a period of time, then setup a poll in the forum - people vote for the cache to protray - winner gets the nod - there are plenty of cached in Norwest Ontario from White River to Atikokan to vote on to have monthly.
    January 29, 2010, 09:46:12 AM
  • Wandering_Man: So we would submit choices for a couple of weeks then, then vote and the winner would be next months 'cache of the month'?
    January 29, 2010, 09:26:22 AM
  • shroomAzoom: I could set up a form (like where we submit our milestones) for submission, then set up a secret poll each month (or every quarter.)
    January 29, 2010, 09:13:34 AM
  • jleecollins: I'll have to think about how we can do this.
    January 28, 2010, 11:05:51 PM
  • Wandering_Man: Very cool idea Jim! How would we go about choosing one?

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.

Here's the first new update for 2010. It's still a close race at the top for most distance, but with time winding down Ragbag could have the most caches visited all locked up. Only three months left! ~WM
