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.

This section is for recognizing a geocache owners favorite hide, that they have placed and selected themselves as their favorite one. The ribbon graphic below was designed entirely by Blue Blazes...who is the master at this sort of thing. Thanks Sterling.

I Remember by Fishingmcman was originally placed as a payback cache for another geocache set out near this location that cost Fishingmcman almost a whole week of his vacation in pursuit of an elusive first to find. The title of the cache not only refers to his memories of a youth spent at this park, but also of the other cache his friends got him on. He decided this one would not be easy, and originally this multi-stage cache wasn't. It took many trips to get it all like he wanted, and then he got to sit back and laugh at all the little geocachers scurrying around trying to find it. Unfortunately for GoldBugGirl, who had just started caching and got caught in the friendly crossfire, this one would cost her several days of unfruitful searches. Thankfully, this cache has been "dumbed down" a few notches since it's inception and will be a fun one for the whole family to enjoy.

ATTN: WE WILL BE CANCELING THIS SATURDAYS MEETING (AUG 28) SINCE THE MAJORITY WILL BE ATTENDING THE TWO EVENTS IN THE EL DORADO, ARKANSAS AREA

NEW MEETING PLACE

The North Louisiana Geocachers Saturday luncheon is now held at Logan's Roadhouse Restaurant

We try to meet every Saturday for lunch at 1:00 at Logan's Roadhouse 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. Depending on how many we have, will dictate on where they seat us. The manager said he would do everything he could to accomodate us and make sure we all sit together. Just ask for the geocaching group when you show up.

Here are the coords to Logans.

Just noticed that the new State Park caches aren't showing as being "NEW" in the not found list. They are dated more than a week ago as being placed.

Aaah Rick I knew I could count on you to come up with a clever quote. However it happened about an hour before I was gonna be leaving for work and still had the family with me. Bobby's response time was faster than a rattlesnake. Lol
