    in Northeast

    Posted

    Team Rampant Lion & Team Divi Divi will be hosting "SPARTA MOUNTAIN DAY 2009 GEOCACHING BASICS 101" On May 17, 2009 in Sparta New Jersey. :(

     

    Northern New Jersey Cachers (NNJC) will be participating in an Introduction to Geocaching 101 Workshop. We will have a geocaching table representing NNJC at Sparta Mountain Day, an Earth Day like event featuring various environmental activities including geocaching tours.

     

    The event page is here GC1Q9W6

     

    Additional details regarding Sparta Mountain Day

     

    We need new and experienced geocachers to make this event a success! Last year we had many new people at the event interested in geocaching participate in geocaching tours as we matched up more experienced geocachers to take groups out to find sample caches. Some of us stayed at the event table to answer questions related to the website and hand out brochures and show off various cache containers on display.

     

    Please join us if you can help out or if you know new geocachers that may benefit from this event.

    Post on the event page if you can attend. :D Thanks! :P

    Kevin.

    We are very sorry to hear about Bailey. We always enjoyed seeing her and petting her at the events. It was so neat how she would ask for more pets by touching you with her paw if you stopped petting her. She was happy and well-loved. Our thoughts are with you.

    This Sunday I'm thinking about heading over to Wanaque and hiking up and back down the ridge, hitting the caches between Windbeam Along Highland Trail and B...B...B...Board! while the leaves still look nice. The distance and incline are intermediate and won't be an issue if you're not a couch potato. The pace won't be killer, but the views should be. Rain might cancel. All interested are welcome.

    Distance on this one should be between six and seven miles. Parking is at the Wanaque Reservoir Gate 17 (N 41° 04.462 W 074° 18.265). Departure at 11:00am. If we're not feeling so adventurous, we can leave a car at White Rd. (N 41° 06.455 W 074° 17.941) and make it a one-way hike.

     

    We may be able to do this one :(

    I had two caches of mine along the AT in New Jersey recently archived.

     

    GCEAFE has been there for over 5 years! GCY9BB was there 2 years. It's disappointing to see them go after so many have enjoyed them over the years. This section of the AT is maintained by local volunteers and there is an MOU by the NPS that the NJDEP admininster and manage these lands.

     

    from the MOU...

     

    A. The New Jersey State Department of Environmental Protection

     

    Agrees

    ..................................................

     

    3. To apply and enforce the State Park Code, N.J.A.C. 7:2, as same may from time to time be amended, supplemented, modified, or changed, on all lands owned and administered by the State of New Jersey that are part of the Appalachian Trail Corridor and managed pursuant to this agreement. NJDEP shall be responsible for the conduce and coordination of law enforcement, fire control and search-and-rescue activities on such lands in accordance with applicable policies and procedures established by the State of New Jersey and shall advise the NPS immediately or in any event within 24 hours of major emergencies or controversial events.

    Thanks to all who made this a successful event! We got to introduce new people to geocaching and take some out for a tour to find their first cache. The NNJC table at Sparta Mountain Day had many visitors who wanted to know "What is Geocaching" and "ok can we go look for one now?". It was a fun time as we finished up as the rain was starting. Thanks again for the help. :laughing: Look at the LARGE ammo can in left of pic. This is a preview of a soon to be placed TRL cache in the Sparta Glen area. :laughing:

    about a week way....

    Just an update, There is a "Sparta Mountain Day" taking place this day, kind of an environmental earth-day thing. There will be lots of people new to caching that will not be posting there attendance on the event page. We hope to introduce new people as walk-ups to our demo table and take short tours as an intro to geocaching.

    Thanks to anyone who can come out and join us and have some fun getting new people hooked on Geocaching! :blink:

    I had sent a note over the

     

    www.hackensackriverkeeper.org

     

    inquiring about something entirely different, but got back a note telling those who would participate in the guided paddle to make sure they register. I think the same would apply to those needing watercraft on June 1.

    Who else is going on the guided tour? I was hoping to paddle over and explore that cool turntable train tressle thing.

     

    I have a reservation for 4 so far.

     

    the eco-guided tour looks interesting. I will look into the reservation for that. Looks like its just 10 bucks for those who have boats already. Does anybody know if there is a limit on the group size for this guided tour? I presume we are looking at the 10am tour right?

     

    Sounds like fun...

    PADDLING CENTER

     

    I have submitted for event approval for June 1, keep your eyes open for June 1 at Laurel Hill Park,Secaucus.

     

    The reason I put in for June 1 is that they are having a guided tour and that might be best for he novice paddler. That starts at 10 AM, it is a Sunday, so most will have the day off to begin with.

    So watch for new listing, But I will provide the links here also. MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS IF YOU NEED TO ARRANGE A BOAT.

    Sounds good, we have it on our calendar! :P

    For those who end up staying at a hotel, can you still stay at the campground until 10pm or whenever the nightly events are over? I know different campgrounds have different rules about such things. Just curious...I'm still mulling this over :ph34r:

     

    I'm not sure how late the day trippers can stay but I would recommend the camping option if possible. The campfire, night caches, and general camping experience would make me lean towards camping. :( The New England forum or cache page may have more details on the day visitor time restrictions. I will try to see what I can find out.
