January 2013 Newsletter Welcome to a new year of Geocaching! Sorry I’m a few weeks late this month, it’s been a busy one! As such this will be a slightly shorter letter than I would like, but next months will be more! This monthly newsletter is to help keep geocachers across West Texas up to date with what is happening all over West Texas and in other parts of Texas. If you have anything you would like added into the monthly newsletter please contact me. – Travis Gilbert (SKnight579) |
