My three favs for Essex county are, and in no particular order:
Riverside Rocks, this is a great cache to introduce new cachers too.
Wreck Walk....an awesome history lesson while havinfg fun..
Six degrees of frustration...makes you think
As for the fall geomeet I'm looking forward to working with TTI and others to really showcase this area, I was thinking on the lines of at least 10 new caches to be released on the day of the event, I think that between all the area cachers we can have some very interesting caches thought out by then. If you plan on putting one out let TTI know so we can coordinate them.
