    Sad News For NJ Geocachers

    in Northeast

    Posted

    Ashley,

     

    I hope you are still reading this forum so you see this message.

     

    First, I want to say that when I read your message above, I was struck the maturity you exhibited in the expression of your thoughts. It is not what I expect from a 14 year old. In of itself, it is a tribute to your father (and mother for that matter)!

     

    Second, I and I'm sure everyone else who has been reading and contributing to this forum appreciates your taking the time to let us know that we've helped you in some small way. I can only imagine what you and your family are feeling, but I hope our continued thoughts and prayers are of some additional comfort. While I only met your father on 4 or 5 occasions, he obviously left an impression. It is evident from this forum that he did this with many others also.

     

    Finally, I want to share an observation I made of your father during the "Harriman Pirate Picnic Event" in July 2004, and the impact it had on me. I came upon him and you and your sisters as we all approached one of the caches hidden along the lake. I vividly remember watching your father coach you along in your search for the cache, and thinking that he was having more fun and getting more enjoyment out of watching you all search and find the cache than he ever would have had finding it himself. You could see in his eyes how proud he was of his three girls, and it reminded me of how proud and how much I loved my own three children. When I got home, I gave them all big hugs.

    What a shock I just received to hear of Helmut's passing. I'm remembering like others before me what a nice guy he was and how much you could tell what a great father he was by the way he and his daugthers interacted when you had the pleasure of caching with them. My thoughts are with his family and friends. A real loss.

    Cache Approvals In Nj

    Has anybody else been waiting an unusually long time to have a cache approved in NJ? I've been waiting for 5 days to get approval on 3 caches and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same?

    "where's In A Name" Cache

    Hey All,

     

    Please see the below note that was posted on my Tom, Dick, or Harry cache. This could be a way for someone nearby to also bag the Where's in a Name Cache." I've already got this one otherwise I'd do it.

    Not much time left. "Wheres in a Name" (Locationless Cache) expires at midnight 31st December. Does anyone fancy wandering along to W074.36.26x? North can be anything, but you have to post a photo of your GPSr showing the co-ordinates clearly to log this cache with me.

    Thanks

    Way to go Nik!!! And you did it on one of mine. I'm soooo honored. Hope your ready to do some caching in the High Bridge area soon. This is my new stomping ground and the Columbia trial is literally across the street form my house and I'm within hiking distance to the Ken Lockwood gorge. I've got about 4 cache spots already scouted.

    I'm going to really try to make this. I haven't been able to focus on caching do to a move in two weeks but hopefully thing will settle down by then. Hope to see you all there!!

     

    P.S. Hope your all ready to do more caching near High Bridge, NJ. That's where I'm moving and the the cache density is pretty low out there... for now anyway.
