jleecollins: I would like to thank CanadianStock for diverting the attention from my evil caches to his evil caches, as I slowly sink into the background of the Maritimes

hunter-killer: Don't even go there Jim, or I'll get in touch with the head of the Nova Scotia Mafia. A quick call to the Cod Father, and he will confiscate your evil micros and sell you a few pails of salt beef and some flippeer pie, by the lord tunderin jezzus

jleecollins: Time to give CanadianStock a couple of my evil micro to put in a spruce tree LOL

hunter-killer: We knew your Mom had a cache but never knew when it was going to be published or where. She had logged our geocoin into it yesterday. Fluke that we were doing yours when it did get published. Get out there and find it, and make note of the size

Attention New Members

It has come to our attention that validation emails to new members are not being reliably sent out by the website. If you are waiting for a validation email so you can join us here on the NWOGeocachers website, please send a personal message to shroomAzoom and he'll be sure to get your account validated right away. Sorry for any inconvenience, we are working to resolve this problem.

Welcome Geocachers!

The NorWest Ontario Geocachers is an informal group of geocaching enthusiasts from Northwest Ontario. We have members from across the north shore of Lake Superior, westward to the Manitoba border, hiding and seeking geocaches across the region.

In addition to social events and geocaching challenges, we encourage the hiding of quality caches and promote safe, fun and exciting geocaching through all of Northwest Ontario.

This website is our online home, where we like to hang out, plan our next hides, events, outings and challenges. It's also where we keep up-to-date on various topics related to geocaching, like the technology behind the hunt, sharing new outdoor recreation areas we discover and ways to make geocaching more fun for each other in Northwest Ontario. We hope you find us to be a friendly bunch, and make a place for yourself here as well.

Fall Cache Challenge 2010

It's time again for the Fall Cache Challenge! Spend a fun afternoon hiking, biking or blading around and hunting brand new caches with your NWOG friends! October 3rd from 1pm to 6pm and then join us all for dinner afterwards!

Start planning your hides now because the next few weeks ilk fly by! Watch this space for a list of caches as they are submitted. See the forums for full details.

Let the race begin! We have our first group of entries in the 2010-11 NWOG Geocoin/Tag Race making their wait out into the world today! Good luck to everyone who is taking part in the race.

Week 12 Update: Well I’m sorry for the delay, but everything is finally up to date. It seems we finally have a few coins that are in the hunt for top distance travelled, and in fact we have a new leader in that category. Mechman’s racer continues to do laps on the prairies, as it’s become painfully clear that Darnsocks has nothing better to do than show that little elephant every corner of this country.

Otherwise it appears only a few coins aren’t placed at this point and we have two coins that appear to be missing in action. For anyone thinking of placing a coin in the Dryden area BEWARE! Someone or something out there is apparently eating trackables for breakfast. ~WM
