Much debate has taken place lately on the future of TVG. EVERYONE is invited to come out and share their opinions on the pros and cons of becoming an organized group. While the emotions on both sides are running high, this is intended to be a cordial, open DISCUSSION. The hope is that all come with open minds, no matter which way your inclinations are leaning, and share their thoughts on TVG going forward.
Ol'Fogie will present 5 advantages of formal organization and Team Geologynut will offer up 5 points of remaining as we are. There will invariably be converse overlap, so the discussion of each really won't take long. We both strongly encourage everyone to attend so that all opinions can be heard.
We ask that discussions be very open, but also civil and non-personal. We realize that tempers may be running high, but we are all friends here.
We shall gather at Cancun Mexican restaurant at Cedar Bluff from 6-8 pm. ALL opinions are welcome and the hope is that anyone with something to say will speak their mind.

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning and effort to create and place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Travel Bug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for Travel Bugs and Geocoins. If you take a TB or GC from a cache will you PLEASE ensure it is correctly logged in and out. If you take one that still shows it is somewhere else, please be patient before “grabbing” the item; it does not get its mileage by being grabbed before the last person to drop it has had time to log their placement. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug or coin, please e-mail or message the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue; they will be pleased to hear from you.
