ANIMAL RESCUE THEME
GEOCACHING
Somewhere on the farm is hidden a little treasure that you
can only find with determination and a little GPS device! To
find it, become a member of The Northern Virginia
Geocaching Association (NoVAGO).
The Northern Virginia Geocaching Association (NoVAGO) is a
group of Northern Virginia geocachers who are committed to
promoting safe, responsible, and environmentally friendly
geocaching. We welcome the involvement and cooperation of
park management and government to work with us in the
development of this activity both to benefit both geocachers
and parks alike. The NoVAGO also provides a way for people to
come together to organize regional activities and events (see
the Event Calendar) that will promote the credibility of the
sport and bring families together in an outdoor environment.
