NorthWest Arkansas Cachers

jclaudii & southerngirl have organized a CITO event at the Long Pool Recreational Area north of Dover in the Ozark National Forest. It's a good way to show those that manage our forests some of the good that geocachers can do. It is even more important now due to the Region 8 policy on cache placement.

It was originally thought that the fee only affected the Ouachita's but in fact it was set down by the Region 8 office which oversees all of the national forests in the SE United States. Including the Ozarks. They're just non compliant at the moment.

I just wanted to urge everyone to attend if your able. We'll be camping there that day and maybe if enough people are interested we could all get together to hunt nearby caches, burn some dogs and eat smores. Yum. Maybe it could be a mini event or something.

Just a bump to remind everyone that the event is a little more than a week away. There is an additional event being hosted by idratherbehiking the Friday before and dinner is being provided. There will also be pizza served the day of the CITO.

An added bonus is that the forest service has waived all camping fees for geocachers attending the Saturday CITO. The fee has been waived for both Friday and Saturday night.

It would be great to see a contingent from the NWAC take part in thanking the OFS for their support of our little game. Hope to see you there!
