I use RW Smith's Garmin Maps for the Caribbean when we go there... He has great instructions for making your own here also... http://rwsmaps.griffel.se/

The only people who say "Joisey" are from Brooklyn & the Bronx...

I'm gonna try to sneak them in... you get the "bad" boobies...

Dual milestones are soooo kool! Excellent cache choice for #1500! You guys definately earned the BOOBY Prize!!!

I'm wondering... if you have come across many hides in a certain area... How come you have NO logged geocaches?

Deleted post... duplicate...

We have done some competition type events at NNJC... Mostly like FTF's at event caches... First group to complete the event caches, etc... That type of thing.... with prizes... and we have had raffle type things... BUT the prizes were never cash... usually along the lines of a nice hiking stick, ammo cans, compas', a GPS'r or two, maybe a tent or geocaching coins... That type of thing... Now if the $5000-$10000 was going to a charity, that would probably be an acceptable exception... I would think it would have to be carefully and well documented for approval... But I cannot say for sure, as I am not an approver... Good Luck!

Have a representative (or two or ALL) attend any of the above listed events, and you will find a wealth of information from some very seasoned cachers... You are all more than welcome, and encouraged, to attend! The "NNJC Spring Event - Tiki Stomp Party (GC19YTT)" at the Watchung Reservation is also very close to Watchung Hills RHS...

It will be up to your local approver, but I think he will say it is a "commercial" event, as the Chambers of Commerce are involved... They probably would take exception to cash prizes also, but that I am not sure of... I would think that "individual and team events...making it a weekend event" would be fine... That is done all the time for Caching Events... But the involvement of The C of C & $5000-$10000, and cash prizes I think would be a show stopper... You can have it further reviewed by Groundspeak if you have valid reasons, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that... I have a cache, that was eventually approved... But I had to remove references to the Harbor Master and his phone # for docking at the Town operated Marina by the cache, simply because there is a nominal charge to dock there... if docking was free, there would not have been a problem... Because it made the cache a Commercial Cache...

Avroair & Mrs. Avroair always stay at a motel... You can always tell who they are at a camping event... They are the ones that don't stink, and are in clean, dry clothes...

Watchung Reservation in Central NJ... late last Fall... about 5-6' long... There were two of them... The dogs barked at them, but wouldn't go near...

The 2008 NNJC "Kiss Me I'm Irish (V2008.R3.15)" EVENT was published yesterday... When: Saturday March 15, 2008 Time: Noon till 3(?) p.m. What: Geocaching Meet and Greet Where: Black River Barn Restaurant, 1178 Route 10 West, Randolph, NJ 07869 Restaurant Phone: 973-598-9988 URL: www.blackriverbarn.com Why: To celebrate the first green of Spring and grab some 'O The Luck of the Wee People (LEPRICHONS, No Bad Jokes required). Please RSVP on the cache page so we can tell the pub a final tally... for cache page... Please click HERE... Bring TB's... and coin collections to discover & trade!!!

You just have to be aware that a lot of the open land shown is now new roads, condos, corporate parks, shopping centers, developments, etc... It does not render the topo contour lines inacurate, so just for an idea of the terrain in a specific area, for caching, they still will work just fine... actually, with few exceptions (i.e. the Millington Quarry near us, the whole hill is now gone), the contour lines in my home area look pretty accurate...

Those are VERY OLD Maps... I'd say at least pre 1965... at least the Bernardsville map #49... It says 1983 on the webpage, but still shows the old Somerset Hills Airport in Basking Ridge... and that was buldosed about 1970-1... and there are lots of roads missing that were there in 1965... That's when I first moved there... The map does not show my house, which was built in 1960...

Looks like the one in CAMDEN (GC1899C) has not been approved yet...

Why worry about loading 100 caches at this point in in your geocaching career??? or do a PQ if u become a premium member... that will give you 500... it is only $30/yr... or a little less than 8.25 cents a day... and if your PC crashes... then you have more problems than the geocaching site... 100 caches is a pretty ambitious immediate goal for someone with only 4 caches to his name...

I have to agree with briansnat... farther is better... If you have to make it a bushwacking cache... we try to avoid them if possible...

I would hope his caching skills are better than his acting skills...
