Batonka Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 are people still doing unfinished business? The second details post doesn't mention that.
+avroair Posted May 12, 2004 Author Posted May 12, 2004 NIGHT SWEATS DATE: Wednesday, May 12th TIME: 8 p.m. WHERE: Meet at the starting spot: N40 45.275 W 074 22.746 PARKING: N40 45.067 W074 23.158 NOTE: Parking is in a quiet residential dead-end so please be discrete. Follow the path into the woods. You cannot access the cache from Route 24, or park anywhere along Route 24, despite the cache's close proximity WHAT TO BRING: Bug repellant and a flashlight (a big one, a really, really big one). UNFINISHED BUSINESS TIME: 5:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. The rest is the same as above... Good luck to you guys on UFB!
+haggaeus Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 I'll bring Globy, the globetrotting bear with me - let me know if you want take him around North America before he leaves to another continent.
+Team DEMP Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 So who is showing up for UFB? I have afternoon meetings until 4pm and then I'll head out. Hopefully getting there in an hour from Northern NJ won't be a huge problem. It's off 24 off 78 off the GSP south of Newark Airport and if there's no traffic I could do it in 30 mins, so maybe I'll get lucky. So, count me in unless I get stuck getting there.
+The Frantic Cachers Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 I'm coming from Ridgefield Park so I hope the same.
+HartClimbs Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 Wow! This is cool to see - I hope you guys enjoy the caches (and aren't too disappointed!). Nightsweats is a nice short walk that should be good for people of all ages. UFB is a little longer walk - but still should be doable by almost anyone (provided the river's not in flood stage). Important to bring the cache page as there are clues you'll need from it - as well as specific instructions. Remember - a straight line is not necessarily the shortest way between two points. Good luck - I look forward to reading your logs and will try to swing by....
+avroair Posted May 12, 2004 Author Posted May 12, 2004 Latest Weather Report: Wednesday, May 12 Scattered T-Storms 83°/73° Chance of Rain: 40 % It is probably doing to be very muddy and bring water since it will still be warm!
+The Frantic Cachers Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 So are we going to meet for UFB at the parking coords or starting coords?
+JMBella Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 Doesn't look like I'll make it. Can't get out of a meeting. Have fun!
+avroair Posted May 12, 2004 Author Posted May 12, 2004 PARKING Parking can be tricky since there are a number of residential back streets, if you would like directions use the following link: Night Sweats Directions Good luck getting there!
+dhenninger Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 Lets make it the starting coordinates for UFB unless anyone thinks differently
+The Frantic Cachers Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 works for me....starting to rain here but I think I will be there anyways
+Team DEMP Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 Wow - weather alerts now. Gonna leave for there shortly. If I get there early, I'll hit up a virtual - Thirst Quencher and Passaic River if I have more time.
+avroair Posted May 12, 2004 Author Posted May 12, 2004 I am planning to meet at 8:00 as scheduled, probably be totally dark by then considering the weather... it hasn't stopped raining hard in NYC for 3 hours!!!
+The Frantic Cachers Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 Thank you avroair for setting this up....had a fantastic time meeting everyone.
mortonfox Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 The weather was surprisingly good. It was great meeting everyone. Thanks for setting this up, avroair.
Batonka Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 Good cache hunt and an excellent after party/mini-event. Didn't know Clifton had such nice drinking establishments Again, great time seeing everyone and I can't wait for the next non-event! Batonka
+Team DEMP Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 What a terrific night!! Got stuck in traffic/thunderstorms/downed trees on the way down, but the Unfinished Business group let me catch up. We completed that one, I ran to CVS for some drinks (and snacks), got to meet the famous StayFloopy, saw some familiar faces, met a bunch of new folks and had a blast! Long day so I didn't go out for drinks and it seems some stayed out very late or very early depending on how you look at it. Any weird looks when a bunch of muddy and bug spray smelling folks walked in? What are we all doing next week!! David
+Team DEMP Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 Just uploaded a couple pics to Unfinished Business and to Night Sweats. David

+Old Man Walking Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 It sounds like you all had a great time. I sure wish I could have made it but it was a major storm here, which caused me to work late. Not to mention fear.
+HartClimbs Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 A special thanks to everyone for their logs - I really enjoyed getting all the "found it" emails today! Some great logs - I'm only sorry I had to run and missed the clifton pub run. Look for the "bloody meat bag" cache coming soon!
