+hollyburn Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I might have a 3-4 days to cache in Newfoundland this summer so wondering if someone can suggest an area that would offer some great scenery and fun caches. I'm just starting to think about this so any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment
+Ducky Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 You might want to try posting on the Newfoundland portion of the Atlantic Canada Geocaching Association Quote Link to comment

+The red-haired witch Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 There are a lot of caches in St John's, several within walking distance of downtown. I was there last year at the beginning of May and I managed to get a few even if I was on foot. Signal Hill definitively has great scenery. Especially the trail that goes around the hill (scary if you don't like heights, but very very nice view). Also, while you are there, you can get one of the Great White North Geotour caches : GCXDZ8 Quote Link to comment
+hollyburn Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 We have decided to go to St. John's for this trip. Thanks for the heads up on the GREAT WHITE NORTH GEOTOUR. Now that seems like a challenge. Maybe could get a few of them this summer. Quote Link to comment
+guiderchachi Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 We have decided to go to St. John's for this trip. Thanks for the heads up on the GREAT WHITE NORTH GEOTOUR. Now that seems like a challenge. Maybe could get a few of them this summer. The easiest way to find some is to entera postal code for St. John's and then use the googlemap feature. You will comeup with several, that's what did earlier the spring. Try A1B 1W1. Goodluck, Guiderchachi Quote Link to comment
+VO2WW Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well at least give GCWJZ3 - Extreme East a try. Couple of nice ones near or in Flatrock too Quote Link to comment
J'nK Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I was in Newfoundland last summer and to tell you the truth the whole island is great scenery. Where ever you go you will see great things. Have a good trip. Quote Link to comment
danoshimano Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 My family and I are going to be in Newfoundland for two weeks this summer and I'm telling everyone it is my "dream" vacation. And it is. We're going to start in St. John's, then spend some time on the Avalon Peninsula, then up to Bona Vista, Twillingate, then a quick jaunt over to Gros Morne. By then we'll be out of time, so we'll have to fly back across the island. I haven't started researching caches yet, but I recall a few years ago reading a desription that went something like this: "An area most tourists miss... walk 300m through the forest... when you come to cliff with the lighthouse..." Oh, yeah! Quote Link to comment
yknoteh Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) Here are some postal codes from across the island. They will key you in to some communities: Pse note, codes are read as Letter Figure Letter Figure Letter Figure Codroy - A0N 1H0 Corner Brook A2H 4K3 Pasadena - A0l 1K0 Springdale - A0J 1T0 Gander - A1V 1W2 Clarenville - A0E 1J0 St. John's - A1B 1E7 You can also try www.kittiwakecoast.ca/geo/geo.html for their list of caches.

Mosey_Burns Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Check on my cache, "a walk to the lake" Its a challenge but worth it. Quote Link to comment
+hollyburn Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks everyone for your tips. We spent a week in Newfoundland and had such a great time. We were continually on the move and saw fantastic scenery, whales, birds but missed the moose. Most of the caches we found were really in really good spots that took us to a location of interest. I especially enjoyed the surprise of Na Geira's Treasure and Hopeall's First as I hadn't read the cache page. Don't miss the mine tour on Bell Island. We'll have to go back to explore other areas and maybe stay longer next time. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment
