Geocaching creates a unique community of people everywhere the game is played. Geocachers are kind, considerate and giving, and always willing to welcome new cachers into their fold. When tragedy or crisis occurs, cachers come together like few other social organizations.

This forum is open to geocachers all over the world who are interested in our friends in the US Gulf region affected by Hurricane Katrina. Feel free to share personal stories with other cachers, relay experiences, ask for help or offer assistance. We are here for each other. And remember, caching is a social activity so please no political discussions.

UPDATE for "Operation Hurricache" - here's what we have so far. You or your group are free to contribute something not already on this list:

Toothbrushes & toothpaste
Litter bags
Sewing kits
Pocket tissue packs
