Where are you from?

[+tneigel]

Hi,

Just wondering where people are from (in this Northeast category). I'm from Central New Jersey (Route 195).

 

It was clear when I started that the southern half of New Jersey below 195 is mostly untapped. The caches already there are all very good. I've been adding many caches in various places and hope it attracts more cachers. The count is growing. Why don't you come out to southern Jersey and log some caches.

 

Anyone interested in a cache event of some sort? (A cache day, picnic, etc.)

Northern NJ here. Near the highest numbered exit on the parkway.

 

Believe me, I'm trying. It's just that some of those South Jersey locations are close to 3 hours away from my place! But I have logged a good number of your caches below 195 even if I didn't get to all of them.

I'm the next town south of Floopy. Same exit.

 

 

As for a cche day or picnic.....Let me know when and where.

I'm from Akron NY. We live about 25 minutes from Buffalo. Not many caches here but the Rochester area is covered!! So we head out that way on the weekends.

Well there are several new hides out there in the pines as of today. Will place 2-3 more on monday. Come and get them. Seems you guys are coming from up north. I am thinking about having an informal picnic at my house (by rt 195). People can stop by for a break and have a hot dog or something. Big 2 acre lot, with lots of picnic benches and chairs and a firestand for cold days. People can stop in anytime of the day. Any interest? We'll see.

I live nowhere near the turnpike or parkway and have to travel 20 to 30 mins. to get on to an interstate. Luckily i live in Hunterdon County and there are several caches hidden here and in nearby Bucks County, PA. I would be interested in a caching event somewhere in the region.

Hi;

 

I am from Camden County NJ just over the Ben Franklin bridge from Philly. Just getting started with 3 finds but I will be venturing out in the spring and placing some caches in Camden, Burlington, Ocean, Atlantic and Philadelphia (PA) counties soon.

Yes, I'd be interested in a cache day or picnic and am sure I could bring along fellow geocachers.

So ArtfulD, I've been wondering about this since I read your post at 2am........which is better NJ or South Africa?

 

Last night in the chat room the ? was posed "Where do you wish you were?". Would you like to be back in South Africa?

 

I had 1 person from South Africa sign up for the geoquilt...sent out the blocks but never heard from him again......You had a blocks right?

 

anyway......

Mid-Hudson Valley in NY here. Hey you Jersey cachers Gilbert's Stash has been let loose about midstate once again, just wanted to give the heads up if you didn't see him. I hear he has new eyes, beret and a tattoo nowadays too. Any cachers with their knives sharpened and/or fresh batteries/film in the camera, go meet Gilbert

Hi Debbie

 

I try and go back to SA once a year to visit family and friends but that might slow down or stop as my only sibling and her family are immigrating to New Zealand. My Mom will join her in a few years. South Africa has the best, sunny weather in the world bar none (my opinion ) which I miss the most. The land is beautiful and some of the people friendly. Its really worth it for US tourists to visit there. Good value for money. Great food, scenic open spaces etc.

 

Apart from that, crime is very high! Standards have been lowered, material things are very expensive. Education is becoming sub-standard and people live in electrified barbed wire fortresses (no lie!) Very simple things you take for granted (like letting your children walk in the park) are no longer viable without being afraid of being mugged etc. etc.

 

One of the most important things a parent can teach their children is just how great they have it here in the good old US of A!

Ok so this is still off topic but New Zealand. Man you could check out the awesome caches that I've heard about!! That's where the LOTR was filmed right.......

 

I know what you mean about thankfulness contrast to the awesome beauty of another land. I spent 7 weeks in Bogota, Columbia. What an awesome place!! Rainforest, tropical green, genuine people and a love of anything American...even bleach! But the downside was that 3 presidential canidates were exicuited while I was there. And I got really used to seeing tanks going down the street and large guns held by camo guys at every turn...After a while I just felt that the guns were there to make me feel safe. But I so missed the freedom that we take for granted!

Hi Dodger, I'm trying to log the Where's In A Name Cache and my coordinates (both long. and lat.) run through South Africa. Just wondering if you have any old friends, who are Geocachers there that you are in touch with. Among the cities near my lines are Bloemfontein, Bisho, Queenstown,

Bethlehem, Kurman and Vereenigingn.

Hmmm. Tricky.... I just know geocachers from the Cape Town area and none of those cities are near there.

 

I suggest you go to the South African forum and Peter Scholtz and Co. will help you Us South Africans are a helpful bunch

Location: Somers Point on the coast near Longport and Ocean City in southern NJ. I have been fortunate to find a few caches by tneigel through this area and in the Pine Barrens. I'm sure the Geocachers nearby would enjoy the quiet isolation and challenging quest for tneigel caches hidden among the "pines".

[+Dekaner]

Seems like everyone in this forum is from down state. Well, here in Central New York we like our geocaching just fine.

I'd be interested to know which caches those were, coming from NZ, and having done most of my caching here

 

We have been hunting down in our spare time filming locations, but many of the these are on private land But there is still intentions to do a series of caches throughout the country located as close as practical to the filming locations. It's going to be quite an effort to cover them all!

 

I'm really hoping I get the chance to come over to the North East and do some caching around there this summer. Just gotta wait for the OK now...

I'm from Bellefonte, which means "beautiful fountain". It's practically the geographical center of the state! I wish I was in the geographical center of PA cache locations!

 

Come visit us here. We have some great caches and the best area for outdoor activities in the state.
