+nikcap Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Heads up all Central Jersey (and beyond) cachers. We're working on a a CITO event to take place at Washington Rock Park on CITO Day. There are still some details to work out but expect an official posting in the next day or two. As of right now I'm working with the State Dept of Parks to provide us with bags and a dumpster. Anyone with comments or suggestion please chime in. Quote
+JandM Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 I was going to do the CITO event in Harriman, but this is much closer and it's nice to be active in the paces near where one lives. We should head out for *refreshments* afterwards, or plan a picnic at the park. Thanks for planning, Ekitt10! ~melissa Quote
Nascat Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 (edited) I'll be there as well as my Wife Catherine AKA Quiltcat. Gotta get a goodie list togather. I can bring along a Case of Bottled H20. Just let me know what to bring. Take Care, Mike PS: Is this going to be made into a Cache Event? If so I'll bring some swag as well as a Travel Bug. Edited April 2, 2004 by Nascat Quote
marty621 Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Sorry I am going to miss this event, have a prior committment on this date. Was looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Quote
+nikcap Posted April 2, 2004 Author Posted April 2, 2004 The event page should be up shortly. Central Jersey CITO (GCJ2HP). A small picnic or excursion to the local watering hole will happen afterwards. There are still plans for a "official" Central Jersey Geocachers Event happening in May some time. Quote
+ski Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Looks like fun Nik. Count me in as a definite maybe. BTW....Central Jersey? I live near the southern end of the state and the event is 125+ miles away. Conversely the NY/NJ north border is only about 40 miles from the event. (Give or take) Does anyone know the accepted boundaries of North,Central, and South Jersey? Ski... Quote
+Natureboy44 Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 Count me in Nik, should be fun. Let me know how I can help. Quote
+mr.magoo Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 I have a little league game in teh afternoon, but I should be there in the morning. Will bring an ammo can as well if we thinking about building an event cache to memorialize the day Quote
+avroair Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 Count me in I live in Northern NJ and this is only 20 miles away I haven't cached in the area so there will be lots o' stuff to find Avro Quote
+Quoddy Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 Nik: As I mentioned before, my grandson just returned from Iraq and will be coming to Bridgewater that Friday night. He will only be here until Sunday lunch time, but I think we can get there for a limited time. I have my 4 official CITO bags ready! Quote
+nikcap Posted April 15, 2004 Author Posted April 15, 2004 Bumping this. So far everything is shaping up good. Our CITO shirts and CITO trash bags have come in. We'll try to bring a couple extra pairs of gloves. If anyone has some old ski poles, a rake and a flat/coal shovel that would be helpful. Here's that latest list of who's offered to bringing what. Nascat - Bottled Water and some Veggies NatureBoy - Hot Dogs, Buns, Mustard Relish Aberger56 - Soda Team Hopewell - Potato salad, baked Beans, plates and forks. The Bee Gees - Water + ??? BMSquared - bring some chips. Team Ekitt10 - has the charcoal and a couple extras, included our signature event item - pork roll I've arranged to have the gate to the picnic loop opened so we can park along the road there or in the picnic area. Picnic 'tudes: N40 36.910 W74 28.330 A small shopping bag of trash gets you a drink, a large bag of trash gets you a couple dogs and burger Feel free to bring a couple bags of CITO from your morning caching excursions. Prizes (don't get too excited about it) will be awarded for the person that collects the most trash and carts trash from the furthest away. Quote
+Mopar Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 Team Ekitt10 - has the charcoal and a couple extras, included our signature event item - pork roll Hmmmmmm.... HARRALD's cito event doesn't have pork roll.................. Quote
+avroair Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 Wow! Well what a marvelous day for an event! Thanks to Team Ekitt10 for organizing - our turnout was great, I think at one point we had over 50 cachers! I had a wonderful time meeting new people and to think we managed to clear up so many bags of trash. Great job guys! A day well spent. Quote
+briansnat Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 Hmmmmmm.... HARRALD's cito event doesn't have pork roll.................. There was Taylor Ham there? I went the the wrong event! Quote
