For any of you that are interested there is an online chat scheduled in the Saskatchewan Geocaching Chatroom tonight at 8:00pm. I know some of us are cross border cachers and may have input, or just be interested in lurking in the discussion. To take part in the chat, go to http://groups.msn.com/SaskatchewanGeocaching and register as a member. Once that is done, then go to the chat room. I am not sure what the name of the room is, but you likely wont have trouble finding it.

Sorry for the short notice. I likely wont be able to tune in myself.

Well, I showed up, and had a nice chat with a guy in North Battleford. Talked a bit about the Blitz, way marking, and population vs number of caches.

We were the only ones there.

I'll probably drop in again next week to see if it goes anywhere....

MSN chat is icky, though.

(Although I'm a unix weenie, and may be somewhat biased....)

Is there any interest in doing a weekly MBGA chat, and/or maintaining a chatroom?

ok I just got home, and believe me it took a wekk for me to work my way back up here.

Saw your post and figure since I live about 22 miles from the Sask Border (remote area) I may just check this out.

Count me in, but send me a reminder due to my busy schedule for the next few weeks, I'll need the prompt.

Slippery_1- It would seem that they are going to try to chat at 20:00 saskatchewan time every Monday. Although the chat client works all the time, you may be talking to yourself.

Heres a question for ya Liz?

Because I live only 22 miles from the Sask Border, can I place caches in the Sask side without infringing on some cross border regulations etc?

And where do submit these...same place?

Don't forget that Saskatchewan has switched to Mountain time (Alberta) now that Daylight Saving is happening. The conversation might be livelier around, say, 9ish CDT, 8 PM MTN.

Slippery- No problem with placing a cache in Sask. Submit it the same way you would the manitoba caches. Except specify the correct province in the dropdown menu .
