Awesome time! Awesome turnout! (said with an accent! ) The Frantic Cachers, TeamDEMP, dhenning25, bldebabe, StayFloopy, Quoddy, Kar of Team Shibby, Batonka, haggaeus, lunaruby and Kathy, SERG312, ergo46 and our Host: HartClimbs!!! 15 Cachers! - Piece of cake, we will be done in 10 minutes, back to the car and off for wings and beer - of course it wasn't so easy But had a great time sloshing about looking for decoy markers! Thanks to all of you who turned up! Had a blast! And to Dr Evil HartClimbs for placing the cache. See you on the trails...

I am planning to meet at 8:00 as scheduled, probably be totally dark by then considering the weather... it hasn't stopped raining hard in NYC for 3 hours!!!

PARKING Parking can be tricky since there are a number of residential back streets, if you would like directions use the following link: Night Sweats Directions Good luck getting there!

Latest Weather Report: Wednesday, May 12 Scattered T-Storms 83°/73° Chance of Rain: 40 % It is probably doing to be very muddy and bring water since it will still be warm!

NIGHT SWEATS DATE: Wednesday, May 12th TIME: 8 p.m. WHERE: Meet at the starting spot: N40 45.275 W 074 22.746 PARKING: N40 45.067 W074 23.158 NOTE: Parking is in a quiet residential dead-end so please be discrete. Follow the path into the woods. You cannot access the cache from Route 24, or park anywhere along Route 24, despite the cache's close proximity WHAT TO BRING: Bug repellant and a flashlight (a big one, a really, really big one). UNFINISHED BUSINESS TIME: 5:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. The rest is the same as above... Good luck to you guys on UFB!

If you park at the suggested coordinates and head into the woods you can meet at the starting coordinates. The space is open and easy to find others.

Awesome! Bring it on! Congrats to the team!

AND he has done Melvin's Multiple Madness in New Jersey... Now if he would just place some caches for the rest of us.... Just Kidding

Hmmm... There goes the integrity of no merchandising or sponsorships... your next cache will be sponsored by... Maybe we can form Professional Teams! And be professional cachers with sponsors like other sports! Actual team outfits with numbers on our backs! Anybody want to join me in purchasing an old yellow school bus, convert it into natural gas powered, grab 10 sponsors at $15,000 a piece and drive around the country caching?

NIGHT SWEATS DATE: Wednesday, May 12th TIME: 8 p.m. WHERE: Meet at the starting spot: N40 45.275 W 074 22.746 PARKING: N40 45.067 W074 23.158 NOTE: Parking is in a quiet residential dead-end so please be discrete.

You cannot access the cache from Route 24, or park anywhere along Route 24, despite the cache's close proximity WHAT TO BRING: Bug repellant and a flashlight (a big one, a really, really big one). NOTE the parking coordinates have changed! I misinterpreted them (again). The correct ones are posted above.

Note: On Unfinished Business: Cut the blue wire...the blue wire! Anyways... just in case you didn't already know the traveling cache: Shen Ku is no longer there (despite it probably appearing on your mapping software). The parking coordinates i posted were wrong. I have updated them.

Congratulations to The Iron Brigade and the Suffering Angels for solving the cache! Now what are they going to do while they wait for their caches to get approved?

Work on solving Blood and Guts Virginia Other than that... come up with other stupid ideas to place puzzle caches.

So is Hart really bringing a Keg and some food! I like food too.

Cool! Now how do I make it an event?

What name!?! Is there one yet? Shouldn't we come up with a name before we sign the log?

Okay looking at the weather and talking with some of the cachers about conflicting schedules etc. Night Sweats Group Jamboree NIGHT SWEATS DATE: Wednesday, May 12th TIME: 8 p.m. (be there at 5:30 if you want to complete Unfinished Business First. It should take you about 2 hours to complete. Meet at the starting spot: N40 45.275 W 074 22.746 Parking coordinates below: N40 45.607 W074 23.158 NOTE Parking is in a quiet residential dead-end so please be discrete. Follow the path into the woods. You cannot access the cache from Route 24, or park anywhere along Route 24, despite the close proximity to the cache site. WHAT TO BRING: Flashlights are ESSENTIAL! Snacks and water. Look forward to seeing you there, (if I can secure a ride by then!)

I live about 3 miles from West Orange? What do you need?

There is a bridge crossing from parking area to UFB and Night Sweats. Night Sweats starts to the right near Route 24 on a small overlook, whereas UFB is all over the area What if we meet at the overlook between 7:30 and 8:00 - Sunset is at 8:02 p.m. Let's wait on the date until 5 days out. The weather report is more reliable then. Right now rain is forcasted for the 13th... but since they are not very accurate that far out... 12th or 13th, put it to a vote. I am free both days.

I would think that is the least of our worries, the last group to team together to find it, Hart scared the sweaty daylights out of, and I quote: "Hartclimbs: I felt like a kid on Christmas morning watching them approach GZ, then got concerned when some of the party headed the wrong way (toward where I'd left tracks!!!). I heard BrianSnat find the footprints and figured it was high time to say hello! The million candlepower portable lantern was awfully handy for pointing out reflectors!" "NAtureBoy: Suddenly we were blinded by an intense beam of light and heard "NJ fish and game warden, can I see some ID please?" Fortunately it was only Hartclimbs who decided to lay in wait in some nearby brush (good thing we didn't cancel the hunt otherwise he may still be out there). "Brian Snat's response cannot be posted due to viewer discretion" "Kber I heard some excitement up the hill. Then I saw a beam of light that any prison yard would be proud to have. It was HartsClimbs laying in wait with his portable sun of a flashlight." Night Sweats

I am putting together a 'personalized' cache called 'X-files' Cache concept: Each cacher who would like to try the cache will have to complete a 5 stage virtual multi, partly tailored to where he/she lives. Haven't got the whole concept down yet, (got the idea from another cacher while on the hiker series)... Anyways, I am looking for candidates for good potential virtuals in your hometown or close by. If interested, please e-mail me

Okay... this is the tentative plan: 13th May, which I believe is a Thursday. The parking area only has space for 2-3 spots and the road is highly residential so maybe we should carpool to the location. Any suggestions? Scoobydoers --- how bright do our flashlights need to be? We should probably form up around 6:30-7:00 then head over to the parking spot. If people are planning to do unfinished business first, (same parking area and almost the same cache start) they should figure 1.5-2 hours to get that one finished.

Awesome! Splicing Dan, I stand corrected! sorry for the doubt Cache Ninja! I shall have to go up there again! Where did you park?
