Summer is here. To beat the heat this summer, we're going to meet at Mason Neck State Park. It's a heavily treed park which will provide lots of shade. The park has wonderful trails, and has boats for rental. Everyone is invited, and I MEAN EVERYONE. If you haven't been to a NoVAGO event before, don't miss this one. There is no requirement to be a member at all.





The event will be at the Virginia State Park property of Mason Neck. The park has 1800 acres and an extensive amount of wildlife. Park link
There is a cost to enter the park via car.

Entrance Fees

$4.00 per vehicle

SILENT AUCTION INFORMATION

NoVAGO charges no membership dues, so we hold one Silent Auction
each year to defray the costs of website hosting, pavilion rentals,
the entrée at our seasonal events(including this one), etc. Please note that cash is
the only thing we can accept, so if you see something you like
below(coming soon...), and plan to bid....please bring extra cash with you to the
event. We cannot take IOUs, checks, or credit cards.


Some of the great items from past Silent Auctions were: - Travel
Bugs and Coins - GPS Receivers - Geocaching Software - Ready-made
caches (from micro to regular/large) - Handmade Hiking Staffs -
FRS/GMRS 2-Way Radios - Silva Compass - AND some awesome intangible
items that included: - Guided (CO) cache hunts with a popular local
cacher - Hints to puzzle cache of your choice (several owners) -
Tutorial Session (one-on-one) for Geocaching software. Be sure to
get your bids in, these items will go fast!



We are still soliciting contributions of items and time for our
fund-raiser, if you have an item you wish to donate to the Silent
Auction please contact reedkickball prior to August 18th so the
Auction Catalog can be updated.
View the Auction Catalog at the NoVAGO forums...Coming Soon!!!,

POT LUCK DONATIONS

Enjoy a really delicious potluck lunch provided by various
cachers in the area. When you post your "Will Attend" log, please
post the food/drink/condiment item you plan to bring. If you don't
know right away, please post it as the event gets closer so we can
keep track of who is bringing what and try to fill in holes. A list
(below) will be updated periodically for you to see what others are
bringing. No dish, dessert or drink will get turned away! All food
is welcome! Items currently on the list are:


Hamburgers and Hotdogs - NoVAGO

Charcoal, fluid, grill tools, plates, flatware, chips, and water

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. There will be a few caches available during the event.

There is also "Meadowood" and "Pohick Bay" parks nearby with geocaches available.

2. If you don't want to sit at one of the picnic tables,
you're welcome to bring lawn chairs, blankets, etc.

3. If you bring Travel Bugs or Geocoins, please exchange them
amongst yourselves rather than leave them on a table for trading.
They tend to get lost that way and we all know how frustrating that
can be.


4. Feel free to take photos during the event and add them to the
event page in your logs! You can also post them to the gallery on
our website after the event.


5. We may also hold a raffle for those who do not wish to
participate in the Silent Auction...and then only if there is
enough support for a raffle. If you have something to donate to the
raffle bring it and pass it to one of them NoVAGO officers. You can
also contact NoVAGO through our profile link at the top of this
page.


6. Please keep this Event on your Watch List, and check back
often for any updates.




.................AS ALWAYS...A GOOD TIME IS GUARANTEED!!!
