Current Goal

Come enjoy the company of other cachers from all over the Midwest, United States, and the world. Last year's Bash drew 400 cachers from around the world. Not only do we have a better venue for 2006, but we're doing it for six days, planning more great activities than ever and this year we have air conditioning! Keep an eye on our home page for updates as plans are finalized and announced. Highlights and news will be posted on the front page there and on the event page when it becomes available.

The Midwest Geobash Web Site I would love for Penny to travel around, introducing everyone possible to SherwoodForest, and I know she would love to be at Geobash this year.

About This Item

Penny1.jpg

This travel Bug is being released in honour of my friend, and fellow geocacher, Eric J. Sherwood, April 2, 1971 - October 29, 2005.

Eric "SherwoodForest" was a very special Geocacher. A Self-Proclaimed Ambassador, he not only represented the Northeast Ohio Geocachers at events in other areas, he was an advocate for the entire sport to park districts, lawmakers, and even people on the street.

You might think that with an attitude like this, that Eric might have been arrogant or boastful. Nothing could be further from the truth. Eric has a mild demeanor that earned him the common description "Gentle Giant". Eric won friends by listening. He encouraged and welcomed the people who were least convinced of their sanity in enjoying such an underground sport. He encouraged people on to their personal bests and challenged all of us to expect more from ourselves.

Eric is partly responsible for many big initiatives in Ohio. He was instrumental in the formation of GeocacheOhio (GO) and the Midwest GeoBash. He helped promote the All-Ohio Women's Event and aided in the flight of the men-folk with the matching "Ohio Men's Escape Weekend".

Eric is truly missed, but in so many ways his influence is all around us. It's in the people, the caches and the culture of Geocaching. To represent this, we have chosen to dedicate a series of caches that we hope will represent the impact that our friend, SherwoodForest had on our sport and our lives.

As Eric would say, "Cache well, and see you 'round the bend."

Not only did he have a thing for Badger, Badger, he loved Penguins, too. I miss my anam cara. I loved you with all my heart, Eric.

Found Penelope in our first cache we made, so felt honored to carry her to South Carolina to enhance her goal of all 50 states visited. She was a good traveler, and didn't have to stop very often for food or bathroom. Now, where to place her?!?

Penelope is now travelling in the company of a polar bear and another penguin. She'll be placed in a cache somewhere between Indianapolis and Maggie Valley NC. So she won't languish within a cache, I'll make sure it isn't a TB hotel and that the cache is visited often.
