[Az-Geocaching] Caching Group

[Richard Hansen]

Ahh, I wasn't aware of that organizational effort ... surprising since I have only been in Arizona for over a year.

Agreed, larobley's boad is akin to a graphical version of this list, where threads are a bit easier to follow and, possibly, retrieve.

Personally, I like bulletin boards but know that I am in the minority in this list, not a biggie.  But I admit that it's nice for an e-mail to
pop up every once in while ... I am an e-mail whore, after all.

Yes, larobly is not attempting to organize into anything other than the board that he is maintaining, with a website component.

John, I don't know what you are looking for statewide and how you envision it being organized.  One thing that I know for sure ( based on
a recent effort in Alberta, Canada to formally organize ) ... you need the mandate of the cachers in Arizona if you want to have them
represented statewide.  If you don't receive that mandate, it's doomed to failure.

Those are just the thoughts of a newly-arrived Arizona geocacher ... now I do wish that my wife would hurry and move down here!

No, this was the one I was aware of that was headed by Team Tierra Buena if
I recall.  Tamo I think was also involved, but when it came time to have
organizational meetings for things such as bylaws and what-not, nobody
showed.  More people were needed in the collaborative effort than were
getting involved beyond showing interest, which is where things came to a
rather sudden death.

There should be archives on the azgc site documenting this.  The BB you're
referring to ultimately amounts to little more than what exists here, except
that it's now multi-faceted being in a BB environment.  I don't mean that in
any way as a knock toward the board, but the other movement I referred to
was for an actual, organized group, and not just the loosely organized, yet
fairly closely knit group that exists as a result of the azgc inception, or
even the subsequent BBs that have popped up in its wake.

Brian, I don't know if you are talking about the one started by larobley,
but, if you are, it has far from failed.

While there is a website, the board is the main "thing" and it is going -
slowly, but at a reasonable, pace, as I mentioned in a previous post.

John, the majority of people on this list are in favor of sticking with this
list, and nothing more.  That's OK, it works for them.  However,
as I mentioned larobley's board does exist and is active.

Tried.and failed.  This was initiated in the Phoenix area not too long ago,
and while many expressed interest, few ended up helping to carry the ball
and run with it.  The concept was tabled and never brought up again.

Hey,

I was wondering if there is an interest in a statewide Geocaching
group/organization.   I'm currently working on getting one setup.  We would
have hopefully 2 annual events, one in the north and one in the south, that
way it is fair for both ends of the state.  I'm currently working on the
website.  I will be posting a link to it very soon, should be up by Saturday
(fingers crossed).  Please let me know what your opinions are good or bad.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry if you get this twice.  Wasn't sure if it went through the first time.
