President's Welcome 5/29/2022 updated
On behalf of the officers of the Northern New Jersey Cachers (NNJC), a non-profit geocaching organization, come join the fun event.
After 5 years at Waterloo Village In 2021 we moved the Metro Gathering Mega Event on August 7th 2021 to a new location with our Middlesex County Partners at historic East Jersey Old Town. We are continuing to embrace NJ's American Revolution War history theme as we lanched the NJ American Revolution Geo Trail the fall of 2020, a journey of historic discovery. For information see njpatriots.org In 2021 we launched another Golden Ticket hunt with a search for "Golden Colonial notes". We added a new game called "Capture The Flag", to find an American flag pathtag and pre order a limited coin. These were different hunts and both rewarded with a cool limited Geocoin. This year the search for "Golden Spy Notes" and "Capture the Spy" will started April 2022 with the Mega theme of Washington's Spies! Mark your calendars and come join the 2022 Mega Event, we have moved to June. 18th, 2022. The Pre and Post Mega celebrations too! The Pre registration Store is now open. Please support the Mega event! John Neale SAR, Old Navy |
