dboggny Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I am posting this to guage the interest of the local folks in an evening group walk/ cache hunt in Central Park. I have done this with two groups previously, the first time with Mtn-Man and Mopar when Mtn-Man was visiting our area for work. It was dark and we had a great time getting all the caches at night. The second time, was with a slightly larger group including Planet and crew, IV_Warrior and Mrs., Mopar again and others. It was warmer out and Planet got us lost. At any rate, it was a fun time so if we have another group interested in going, lets get some idea of a block of days in July or August that people can attent and set a date. Since this is just a cache hunt by a group of people, it cannot be an event, however, if we want to have a coffee or something before hand, we could make it an event. I know we have a lot of new or relatively new cachers in and around NYC and would love to find a way to get this message out to everyone. The easiest way to do this is to create an event; but we'll see. Even if you have grabbed all the caches in CP, please think about coming out and meeting cachers from the area! db Quote Link to comment
Team Yankee Kiwi Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 We would definately be interested in this. We haven't got any of the caches in CP yet, but would be more interested in meeting some fellow cachers anyway. Since you asked for dates, we will be overseas from Aug 7th to 21st (any decent caching in Peru?) but most of the rest of July and Aug would suit us. Joy & Alan. Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Central Park at night? Hmmm.....how many miles is it from my house again? Quote Link to comment

+DeskJocky Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 If it is sometime in August I'll probably be game. I've been wanting to come back to the city again. Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Danny, as long as you're packing, I'm in. Quote Link to comment
+Alan2 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I'm in although I only have a couple I haven't done. But Buddy loves CP and neither of us have done CP at night. Hmmm- will the missus let me take him? It'll be nice to meet everyone. Quote Link to comment
+Team Shibby Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I could not make the last gathering and have yet to do any caching in CP, so I will keep my eyes on this thread for a date and tag along if I can. :-) Kar of TS!! Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 ok, let me reiterate!!! I had been to CP once, when I was 11 and all I remembered was an Alice in Wonderland statue. We were no where near that. And they let me lead. I don't know why they followed me. Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Oh, I forgot to add that I would go again. Quote Link to comment
+IntotheWoods Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I'd be up for it, if it were in July. (I'm gone most of August for wedding/honeymoon...) I've found about half the caches in CP and would love to grab the other half! ITW Quote Link to comment
+ODragon Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Assuming it's a weekend I can get there, I would love to do this. Quote Link to comment
magellan315 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Make it for a weekend and I'll try my best to attend. Quote Link to comment
+JoiseyGirl Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I would love to join in the group Quote Link to comment

+lakelady Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 If the date works out I would love to go. Sounds like a great adventure. Quote Link to comment
+Jennifer&Dean Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Make it next week and get me a ride from Manhasset, Long Island and I'd love to meet ya all! (I can wish....) -Jennifer Quote Link to comment
+macatac1961 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Make it next week and get me a ride from Manhasset, Long Island and I'd love to meet ya all! (I can wish....) -Jennifer LIRR takes 40 minutes from Manhasset to Penn station and a 10 minute subway ride up to the park. You'll be logging the first one in under an hour. Heading into Central Park as it's getting dark on a weekend night. Sounds like an adventure. Running shoes, we need to wear good running shoes. Quote Link to comment
+ODragon Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Running shoes, we need to wear good running shoes. There's sort of a saying about that... I don't need to run the fastest, just faster than you! Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Sounds like fun... meet u guys after work! Make it a week night! Quote Link to comment
dboggny Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 no need for running shoes, we travel with my really good friend, Gaston Glock. At any rate, there seems to be interest enough for me to look at my calander and throw out some dates. be back in a day with some thoughts. Quote Link to comment
Nick428 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) I've been wanting to go caching in Central Park for sometime now. Going with a group is definately a good reason to go and meet some cachers. I work during the week so if this gathering falls on the weekend I should almost definately be able to attend. I might be able to persuad my sister, AsileRD, to come and possibly my brother SERG312 if he happens to be back home. Make this happen though, I'm really looking foward to it.

It's a comfort knowing your friend will be along for the hike. I was thinking of dragging Squealy along... he's not much help when it comes to bears and stuff but I hear he's great against violent homeless people, Right Joe? Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 And they let me lead. I don't know why they followed me. Neither do we....... Quote Link to comment
dboggny Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 And they let me lead. I don't know why they followed me. Neither do we....... The answer is simply that, as we found out that night when she shoved the GPS in my face and pointed to the track line and said something to me, THERE IS JUST NO ARGUING WITH SOME WOMEN.

+fosterbass Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I would do my best to come. Can't make it on a Tuesday night, or the first Monday or Wednesday of the month. Quote Link to comment
Nick428 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 any word on whether or not this is still going to happen? Quote Link to comment
dboggny Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 yes, this will happen. i just have to see what my schedule is like in july. my wife is leaving for active duty in the USAF in mid july so sometime after that we will do this. right now, life revolves around packing her up and getting her ready to head out to her duty station in california. db Quote Link to comment
+bldebabe Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'd like to attend, but it will depend on the night. Unfortunately during the week is difficult for me. Quote Link to comment

+ODragon Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Bump along with another request for Sept 24th! I'll be in NYC whether this happens or not... just hoping it can happen while I'm there. Anyone want to do it if there is no smiley for getting together? Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 There are two other events in the area already planned for the 24th Quote Link to comment
+GPS_David Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 The 24th is good for me but whatever you guys decide. I'm looking forward to this one. Dave Quote Link to comment
+ODragon Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 There are two other events in the area already planned for the 24th A quick PQ search has none in a 100 mile radius of queens (11379 where I would be) on that weekend. Which ones are you speaking of? (I checked NY and NJ). Quote Link to comment
Lextacy Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I am new to this but this does sound like an interesting first for me. I may be interested in attending. Quote Link to comment
+ODragon Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 So JoeFrog and I talked about this at the G.O.N.E. event this weekend and decided that it would happen on Sat, Sept 24th in the evening. Since he actually lives in NY, he's going to get us a waypoint and give us a time to meet. All are welcome. At this point, I don't think there will be any event smiley with this as it will be just an informal gathering. This sounds like it will be an interesting and fun time. At this point, there are 3 of us who will be there. Anyone else is more than welcome to join us and encouraged to! Quote Link to comment
