TAG :: Toronto Area Geocachers » Events

Dec 14 2010

Just a quick reminder that the TAG Christmas gathering is tonight at 6:00pm, at the Kelsey’s Restaurant (Millcreek and Erin Mills Parkway) in Mississauga. The event page is GC2JATT.  The event currently has 70 people signed up (as of 2:00pm). While the main seating area holds 50 people, there’s room to spill over into the main restaurant as well.  Make sure you check the event page before showing up for any last minute information

Also, please note that Groundspeak will be shutting down for maintenance starting at 11PM EST for about 6 hours, so you might have to wait until tomorrow to post your “attended” log, especially if you head out caching after the pub. Groundspeak is describing this as the biggest update they’ve undertaken in 5 years. Wonder if there will be any interesting new goodness come out of this update.

If you’d like to see COG Spring Fling 7 get a Souvenir on Geocaching.com, now there’s a place where you can vote for that.

Spring Fling is hosted annually by Central Ontario Geocachers, and it’s Ontario’s local Mega Event, held just north of the City. Even if you don’t upvote the Souvenir, set aside June 11, 2011 to attend the event, it is one of Ontario’s premier annual event caches.

The Logbook from the GTA Geofriends 2008 (now TAG) Christmas Meetup

It’s that time of the year again, time when we’re all trying to get the latest geocaching devices added to our stockings or placed under the Christmas tree.

But Christmas wouldn’t be the same without Rideau Rangers’ annual get together in Mississauga.  This is the third year now. This kicks off our regular TAG Pub series, which will start off as a seasonal get together (this replaces the GTA Geofriends series).

The pub style event cache is being held on December 14, at the Kelsey’s on Erin Mills Parkway (at Millcreek). The pub always fills so make sure you post a will-attend before you show up.

We’re looking forward to seeing you!

It’s finally here! BFL Boot Camp 5 – Devilluminati.

This all night geocaching event takes place tomorrow night in the north-west part of Milton. We’ll start at a pub in Milton then make our way out into the woods for a night of entertaining night-caches. If this sounds like fun, sign up at Geocaching.com and come on out to the Command Centre some time tomorrow night (after 9:30pm).

Tonight, there’s a caching event in Mississauga where people will be “planning their BFL strategies”. Most of the BFL organizers are also attending the Mississauga event tonight. This is being held by The Treehouse Gang

Tonight’s Event:

Yes! We have no Sprouts

It’s that time of year again. In Toronto, it’s said that Autumn is heralded by the end of the Canadian National Exhibition. To a geocacher, however, it isn’t Autumn without GHAGAFAP.

GHAGAFAP: Golden Horseshoe Area Geocachers And Friends Annual Picnic

The event is the largest annual geocaching event in the Golden Horseshoe area, which encompasses Toronto, Hamilton and Niagara. It originally started in Guelph 9 years ago as a picnic. It still has a picnic componment to it, but has grown beyond that. At the ‘Fap, you’ll find food, geocaches, geocaching talks, camping and much more.

This year’s event is being held at Rockwood Conservation Area, between Guelph and Acton.

Geowoodstock, that massive geocaching event cache is going to be within caching distance for most Toronto Area Geocachers next year! The event is being held in Warren, PA – right near Alleghany State Park. This is along the New York / Pennsylvania border and is about a 3 hour drive from Toronto. The event will be held on July 2, 2011 and should make for a great long weekend destination.

We’ll keep you posted as more news gets released. There’s a discussion topic on Geocaching.com as well.

Update: Here’s the link to the cache page – GC2AZ7G
