Cache Up NB

Cache Up NB is now live.

This post is a little late but I figured I would put it in here so folks from outside of NB can be aware of it. The site actually went live on February 2nd but was kept under wraps until we had enough content to be comfortable “launching” it. It’s main purpose is to provide news and resources for cachers within our province. Laid out like a blog/newsreel, we’ll be posting updated stories about caching and anything cache related on the new site. Our plan is to insure something new is posted at least once a week. Since our launch, we're seeing updates almost daily.

 

Things we have already put up include information about GPS hardware & software, geocaching best practices, your first hide, your first find, cache containers 101, a calendar of events within the province, profiles of local cachers, links to various trails and maps for NB, connections to various social media centers such as Facebook/Twitter and other online forums, printable items such as empty logs, and much more.

 

All cachers who are interested in caching within New Brunswick are invited to sign up for an account and peruse the site for our content. You’re also invited to comment on anything you see and submit your own materials. We are looking to build our own community of people via the comments and having other people submit stories and posts to the site so that it’s not just a small group of people posting everything. The idea is that everyone has tips and tricks, caching stories, links to cool places, and tons of other information about caching. We want to make this a place they can go to share that. Even if you just got a really funny log and want to share it, we’ll post it.

 

We also are trying our very best to insure that everything we have on the site is seen from the eyes of cachers within our province. We welcome outsiders from anywhere but be prepared to see a lot of stuff specifically about NB.

 

This new site is NOT the new MGA site. We are a news/community site and not another association within Atlantic Canada. There’s already two associations within this region and another one was not necessary. We do plan on hosting events within our province but we are more about sharing news and stories about caches in our province, and tales from cachers from NB.

 

We welcome any comments, suggestions, ideas, posts, submissions, wedding proposals, whatever. We’re a pretty laid back group

 

The site can be accessed via the link above and is open to all geocachers, not just folks from NB.

 

I hope to see some of you on the new site
