+Team Shibby Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I still have every intention on being there. We are moving in the next few weeks, so that would be the only thing that"might" get in the way, however I doubt it will. I'm looking forward to it Kar Quote Link to comment
+SERG312 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Is anyone going to stay overnight and backpack for this event? Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 (edited) Batonka and BrianSnat had inquired about staying the night close to one of the shelters, I am game Edited July 4, 2004 by avroair Quote Link to comment
Batonka Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Unfortunately another event has superseded this one so I will not be able to attend. Hope everyone else enjoys the event. For those new to geocaching who have never been to an event, geocachers are very friendly towards people new to geocaching so go have some fun! Later, Batonka P.S. It's Batonka NOT Bakonta, Avroerr!

avroair Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 Two important notes: With the spectacular help from Dave of TeamDEMP all 10 Pirates of Harriman caches have been placed. (1/2 have been submitted). They will be activated 24th July and I will also have cache sheets at the event. Hope to see all you land lubbers there! Quote Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I didn't help much - just kept Avroair company. Folks, Avroair has done a tremendous job planning and placing these caches. A couple are relatively easy and a couple you'll have to work for. All of them are themed and everyone should enjoy doing them. Looks like there's going to be a great turnout. If anyone knows how to control the weather, 80 degrees, low humidity and mostly sunny is my preference. I'll be bringing a fishing rod with me too since the picnic area is right on some water. Hope to see everyone there! David Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Food so far: NEED VOLUNTEERS TO BRING: hamburgers, buns, chips and dip, lettuce and tomato salad, soda (is this really necessary?), Desserts (yum!) and Charcoal and Lighter fluid, matches. Dhenning and Team Shibby are bringing extra grills and dhenning is also bringing a travel bug bin to store unwanted bugs!

avroair Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Drop off your t-bugs at the event and e-mail me their missions so I can keep track for people. We will have a travel-bug bucket on hand. Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 Ahoy there maties! Looks like a crew of about 50 so far! I have printed out and put together cache sheets for all 10 pirate caches so please remember to pick one up when you arrive. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Wed, July 21 forecast the event: Sat, Jul 24 Rain likely. Heavy at times, with local flooding. Flood watch in effect for the following counties: Morris, Essex, Bergen, Passaic, Rockland, Orange, Westchester, Dutchess 76°/59° Low Humidity 100%chance of rain Quote Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Just wanted to let everyone know that the specific area we'll be in for the picnic portion of the event has pretty poor cell coverage, at least with Verizon. Figured it would be good to know if you were expecting coverage so you could contact someone or they could contact you. On the mountains that the event caches were placed coverage was spotty to good. Weird since there are areas of Harriman that I have a full signal and this specific area is the only location I noticed a problem. Everyone should, if they have them, bring FRS radios and tune to channel 2. David Quote Link to comment
+Skully & Mulder et al. Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I'll take the "Chips & Dip 2" line item & bring a bowl of nacho dip & chips. I'll bring a case of soda as well. Quote Link to comment

I only know about the reception because I couldn't make calls in the parking lot of where we were going to be.

Hey Nik, Brian's not allowed any of your signature item since he complained so much about it during the CITO event! Quote Link to comment

nikcap Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 So, for use southerners that haven't been to Harriman in 15+ years ... I know there are tons of historic and abandoned sites in the area, what are the "must do" caches in the area? Quote Link to comment

If it rains my stupid festival thing would be canceled and I could make it! BTW, I want that Blue Dog and I might have to come to Jersey Tomorrow to get it. Quote Link to comment

Look for logs by Waterboy and Jonboy. If both of those "boys" logged the cache and had something positive to say it's probably worthwhile. Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 The event has 9 caches being activated the morning of the 24th. Plus a bonus mystery prize cache already activated. Doing all of those will take 1/2 a day at the least. Africa Loop Series Is a nice hike, but no abandoned stuff. Boston Cache Has a cool mine/cave and was placed in 2000 so it is one of the areas oldest caches. Keep on Hiking Large bushwhack, but the view is great. All the shelter caches by Brian B. are great. You really can't go wrong with a good trail map. Quote Link to comment
+JMBella Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 BTW, I want that Blue Dog and I might have to come to Jersey Tomorrow to get it. Uh oh, Floopy got it. That puppy is going for a ride. Say goodbye Neil. Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 I will have copies of the trail maps and topo maps at the event for those who are interested. (The immediate area around the Picnic give or take a couple of miles). with all Geocaches marked. Compliments of BrianSnat. Way to go Brian!!!! Arrrgh! Quote Link to comment
+Semper Securus Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 FYI.. I'm heading up to Rhode Island the next day... If anyone has a travel bug that needs to go North, let me know.. That Blue Dog might like Newport Jazz for all you know... Quote Link to comment
+fosterbass Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Looks like Team FosterBass will be able to attend. (yeah, it's just me on the "team" but I felt akward at the CT Jamboree for not having a Team Name.) I'll bring a bunch of veggie burgers to offset some of the BeefHeartBurgers that were served up last time. I'll also bring two cases of water and a case of diet soda. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 What's the deal on boats here? I vaguely remember something, but forget. Can I just cartop my canoe and put in anywhere? Quote Link to comment
