So. Jersey Geocaching is sending it's 2010 photo calendar to the print shop and it would be great if someone had an official date posted so we can place it on the calendar!

Well...as some of you may have heard, SJG will be having a Festivus Feast on Sunday, Nov. 30th. Gory details can be found here
The Festivus pole & a few "feats of strength" games have been ordered, "Twas the Night before Christmas" revamped, some favors handcrafted, and a quiz created.
The only thing left is to finalize reservations. I have to give the winery a master list, food choices and payment on 11/10. If you are interested in attending, please let me know ASAP!
Thanks!

Just a note to alleviate Vinny's fear
None of the 70+ cachers in attendance were sacrif... er, "lost" to the Jersey Devil during the ritu...uh, "hunt" this year!
Now how are we going to appease this nefarious beast? Without his tribute, no cacher is safe in the woods!
-
...once you have to face ten grieving families and explain how their precious family members were somehow "lost" while on your Jersey Devil hunt in the middle of the night, and when you have to admit to their families that they will never be seen again on earth...
Ya know, now that you mention it, we do generally lose a cacher or two over the course of the weekend. But since gc doesn't have a cache attribute for that, I figured it was just an assumed natural risk not worth mentioning.

5 Years and Still Searching...SJG's Annual Devil Hunt For 5 long years, the members of South Jersey Geocaching have been getting together annually to search for a shadow of a memory...a legend told in hushed tones around a campfire...a beast that lurks in Pineys' dreams.
Join us on Saturday, October 11th at 5:00 PM in group campsite "A" for a potluck dinner. Afterwards, experienced guides will lead a sojourn into the Jersey Devil's playground for a little adventure! Keep a sharp eye out for unusual tracks, listen for odd sounds and be aware for the feeling that you are being watched – you might just be!
Bring along a folding chair and settle into the evening with a toasty bonfire afterwards.
Folks are welcome to camp out with us for the weekend! For additional camping information, you can click here.

5th Annual Jersey Devil Hunt - SJG will be having it's annual devil hunt out at Brendan Byrne (Lebanon) State Forest. Cache page is not up yet, but it will be a potluck event. This year, we are having some t-shirts made and more details will be provided as it draws closer.
Updating -- 11/30/08 SJG's Fifth Annual Festivus - For our fifth annual foray into the realm of holiday dining, SJG has decided to hold its soiree at Tomasello Winery on Sunday, November 30th, starting at 1:30 PM. Our luncheon will be a choice of 2 sit down meals. After lunch folks will perform many feats of strength, exchange white elephant gifts, and admire the festivus fruitcake. We will also be accepting toy donations for the USMC Toys for Tots campaign (toy donation is NOT required to attend.) For all the rest of the details, you can check the cache page or SJG's website.

One that always makes me smile
genegene -- I know I am dating myself, but it reminds of me of "
" from The Gong Show. I used to love it when he appeared and that high tempo music started. -
Just an FYI

SJG Summer Tubing Adventure - It's not too late to sign up.
8-08
AFAIK - So. Jersey is having an 8-08 event in Cherry Hill at 8am. The FlyinVs gave that task to Grunriese and he is in Spain right now which is probably why the cache page isn't done.

We had the pleasure of going to last year's event and camping for the weekend. It was well worth the drive up. We may try to make this year's!
-
We are so sorry to hear that.
(SJG booked its campsites last June, so between 20-30 of us will be storming the beach sans the bonfire. Field trips are fun!)
Hope it works out next year.

The reporter's mother is a cacher in PA - MosaicMama - and he has written other geocaching articles for other newspapers as well.

Personally I enjoy them. Is anyone here on my wall?
Edited: Click Here for larger image (oh and this image is about 2 and a half years old).
Edited again to fix link...grrrr.
We definitely have spread rubber chicken keychains far and wide over the last 4 years. No clue if it's one of ours, though (we only sharpie "EC5" or "Evil" on them when we remember to!)

I would like to nominate
SJG SOUTH JERSEY GEOCACHERS
"The Home of South Jersey's Best Cachers & Stashers"
I have only recently become involved with this group (less than a year) and have had so much fun and met so many wonderful people!
There is no better group of geocachers out there!!!!
I'll throw in with SJG as well (no surprise there to the folks who know us!) Like the other groups featured here, SJG has it's share of fun (camping, road trips, kayakking, holiday parties, events, contests, cache of the month spotlights, etc) but also has a great core group of cachers who generously give back to the region through CITOs, educational seminars, and annual toy donations, canned good donations, and zoo donations.
SJG also encourages its members to support other regional cache groups (SEPAG, CNJG, NNJC, DEGeocaching) and to attend their events and CITOs as well. SJG has also worked with State Park Rangers, the Nature Conservancy, the Pinelands Preservation Alliance and various civic clubs to promote geocaching to a broader audience.

Looks like the link is now broken

One of SJG's coordinators received the following email & we thought we'd pass it along:
The DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is looking for input from the public on how to improve New Jersey's Wildlife Management Area (WMA) system. Please consider passing this information on to the members of SJG if you think it would be useful.
Completing the survey would be a good way to let DEP management know there is a constituency for geocaching.
You can find the survey at:

For additional information on New Jersey's Wildlife Management Area System, please visit http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/wmas.htm
Cheers, Andrea Friedman

I'd also agree with the general consensus -- it's your coin and you should have the freedom to do with it as you wish.
It's like any commodity you buy, sometimes you buy something and it goes on sale a month later and you've lost out on the discount and other times, you happen to find a bargain or sale. With ebay, you are always taking a gamble anyway and you set the limit on what you will pay through your bid. You could bid and win something for 29.99 and a week later, the exact same item by the exact same seller may have a winning bid of 15.00. Its luck of the draw.
