Mark Twain Lake-March 24, 2008---Mark Twain Lake, in partnership with the
St. Louis Area Geocachers Association, will again host the 2008 Midwest Open
Geocaching Adventure (MOGA) on April 4-6. Geocaching competitors and
participants from the United States and Canada will converge on the Spalding
Recreation Area to compete in individual, two person, or four person
cache-finding events. In 2007, this successful event attracted over 700
people who competed and non-competitors who searched because they love the
sport. All came to enjoy old friends and make new ones. MOGA 2008 is
already on track to surpass last year's totals.
Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a treasure hunt game utilizing a
Global Positioning System unit (GPS) to seek hidden caches. Typical caches
are surplus ammunition boxes or water-tight plastic containers containing a
log book, and small trinkets. Players of the game hide caches, generally on
public lands, and then post the cache's longitude and latitude coordinates
on a website such as www.geocaching.com. Sixty caches have been placed for
this year's competition, which will remain in place after the event for
visitors to find.
If you are interested in learning about geocaching or competing, we invite
you to participate in MOGA 2008. For further information, contact Allen
Mehrer at (573) 735-4097.
Mike
