you're very welcome, your event sounds awesome but I will be in Quebec City that day. Next time

road trip
-
here is a quick list:
In Moncton Area
Underground Lake (GC11F6)
The Hopewell Rocks Earthcache (GC11F89)
If you do the five caches in Fundy Park you get a free geocoin
the drive from Moncton to Fundy is nice and lots of Park and Grabs
Irishtown Park in the North of Moncton is really nice
In Halifax area
Plain as the nose on your face series is fun by BPCacher
Creatures of the night cache (GCQA08) night cache is fun
A bit out of town the "Fergus has an All Terrier Motive" series is a nice drive
Point Pleasant Park is nice to visit in downtown Halifax is nice to visit and a few caches there
I'll think and try to send you some more

I centered on the May flash mob event, this should help you. I hear the people are very friendly and the scenery is great. Hope you have a great trip

WOW what a nice coin. I know someone I would like to give that to

All great picks
We do alot of caching on our trips to NS every summer.
I really enjoyed Gaspereau River Trail and Sceptred Isle is along the way. Also Duncanson Brook Reservoir these are in the Annapolis Valley near Wolfville. Nice hikes along not well known trails.
In Truro, NS's Victoria Park is A Covered Bridge in Truro. A great park will some nice trails and two waterfalls nearby. There are also 11 other caches in and around the park.
Another fave is Hole in the Wall
Enjoy. We go home every summer and are always amazed at how many new places we have discovered.

Hi Chappie,
I am not an islander but there are some excellent PEI Cachers around. We have lots of information on models etc and other helpful advice on forums.atlanticgeocaching.com

Old guys rule!!!!!
I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of rude comments by grumpy old farts. They're either complaining about the site of the cache, type of cache, condition of cache, whatever.... If they own a cache and someone criticizes their cache, they have a rude comment back. If they've tried to find a cache and can't find it, then it's the owner's fault. If a cache wasn't placed just right, then they complain about that. And so on... Have they forgotten that geocaching is just a game? Not a competition to get the most caches. As I read the logs lately, it seems the retired men are really very grumpy. Hope this is just a few isolated cases.

cross border caching is a definite draw, many from Maine are going to the Quebec Mega as it is the closest Mega thay will be able to go to
I'm sure BC could pull it off easily, but not sure if any other Canadian provinces could get the numbers that Quebec is getting.
As New York state just pulled off a Mega in a park just an hour south of the Border, I'm going to suggest that it's neighbor Ontario could pull off a Mega should the local caching community(s) want to come together to do it.

would be good if it would be east one year and west next to spread it out, I think Alberta or BC would be an great choice for 2009
maybe I am all hyped from Geowoodstock but wouldn't it be nice to have a Canadian Mega event that goes around the country each summer? There are some strong associations in Canada that could pull it off for sure. What do you think?
Hmmm. Hopefully that would be out west.... I'm ALREADY touring Atlantic Canada this year before I head to the Quebec event.... need an excuse to go out to Banff

knitter has some awesome picks, anything by Bush Babies are good.
Hamgran and I enjoyed GC8A2C (I'm a Little Teapot) in PEI, and GCG5FJ (What Lies Beneath) and GC35B8 (Time and Tide) in NS. You need the tide tables for two of these caches.
We're headed back to PEI in September with Banjosmom to spend the week caching, then close our week with the Shellfish Festival. Can't wait! I love PEI!

What type of caches do you like? The oldest cache in Canada is just southwest of Halifax. There are so many great caches in Moncton and PEI it would be hard to narrow it down but I will try. Let me know what you like to do

thanks for the input P&S, I think it went well. It would be nice if this spreads across Canada
Living within 2 hours of Fundy for 4 years and having never been there, I think this is an awesome initiative. We took our two boys there and had a blast, even tho the water wasn't totally cooperative. Anyone who is thinking of heading to Fundy to do the caches (and earn a merit-based geocoin only available at the park) will not be sorry!
Great job by the Parks Canada group at Fundy and the ACGA.
Excellent, excellent, excellent!

email sent, hopefully I made it in time
we'll see you next Saturday?

I agree TD2, I have ssen alot of those type too
Just lazy I guess
There are even a bunch out there that seem to be armchair placed or the information plainly copied from another website without even trying to change or cite it.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Recently I could find a cache and the hint was morse code. One time a couple of years ago the weather was miserable and I wasn't doing paperless at the time, the clue was "I really like cheese". Which is nice for him I guess but made me a little preturbed

Plenty of Earthcaches down here in NS and NB [
] -
I was camping with the scouts a couple of weeks ago and I made them haul out everything that was not paper, no plastics on the fire. We also used a firepan and practiced leave no trace. The reason we were so careful was we camped in a place that was not an established campsite as we were a safety station for a 24 hour orienteering race and the organizers asked us to set up in a remote area.
But no plastics ever on the fire

What an awesome project, looking for trails to hike is what led me to geocaching in the first place. I will help down here in Mainland NS once i kind of get my head around exactly what needs to be done
-
what if you geocache during work
There is an argument to be made for a higher percentage... If you geocache for 2 hours on a week night, and 10 hours per weekend, that's 20 hours a week. I am sure you work 40-60 hours a week, so 20 hours geocaching and 60 hours working = 75% work

Here in Halifax I find WAAS make little difference

I seem to have lost the artwork, I emailed you a picture as I can not seem to post pics here
