SEMOG Meet and Greet
SEMOG (Southeast Missouri Geocachers) is the
unofficial official name for geocachers in our area.
Geocaching in Southeast Missouri seems to be experiencing a bit
of a resurgence . . . it's time we get together to meet each other!
Whether you're from the surrounding area, the big city or just
passing through, come and say hello! Everyone is welcome!
Interested in geocaching and want to know more or learn how to do
something? Bring your problem and someone will be able to help
figure it out!
We'll be meeting at Buckner Brewing Company in downtown Cape for
an afternoon of fun, food, some finds and geocaching
fellowship.
