Welcome to the NELA Geocaching Website

This site is dedicated to the North Louisiana geocaching community as a way for everyone to learn about the sport and to promote geocaching in a safe and ethical way. This site is also for all geocachers to exchange views and advice with each other by using the forums link, which is located at the top of this page. Please feel free to join our website, which is maintained by local geocachers who want to share their passion for the game with everyone.

OK, I have found this site, now what exactly is this geocaching?

In short, geocaching is a worldwide scavenger hunt game utilizing global positioning satellites (GPS) to locate hidden containers (aka caches) that were placed out by other game participants. It is a family friendly game that encourages persons of all ages to get outside and visit places they may never ordinarily go. The premier website to search for caches in this area is www.geocaching.com. This is where all our local geocaches will be listed. You will need to register at their website to begin your hunt.

The Pickle Barrell will be closed July 4th, so the meeting is cancelled for that day. We are getting up a geocaching trip to MS that morning if anyone wants to go.

The North Louisiana Geocachers Saturday luncheon is now held at the Pickle Barrell

We try to meet every Saturday for lunch at 1:00 at the Pickle Barrell in West Monroe. It's an open invitation for any/all geocachers to stop by and chat, eat, and all around socialize. Feel free to stop by and join in. We usually are in the backroom, but can relocate or pull up as many chairs as necessary to accomodate everyone.

Here are the coords to the Pickle Barrell.
