The 2021 Metro Gathering ~ NJ's American Revolution
***NEW DATE & LOCATION***
AUGUST 7 TH, 2021
Come join the entire Geocaching community as The Northern New Jersey Cachers, NNJC and Central Jersey cachers. CJC, hosts the 7th Annual area Metro Gathering Event. Geocachers from across the United States and beyond are invited August 7th, 2021, to attend this annual Metro Gathering Event.
This year we embrace New Jersey’s American Revolutionary War history as New Jersey is called the "Crossroads of the American Revolution", because it held a key geographical position at the center of the new nation. George Washington and the armies were in or crossing it throughout the war. NJ was heavily involved in the fighting, due to the troop movements through the state, and its key geographic position between New York City and Philadelphia.
This also commemorates the new NJ American Revolution Geo Trail launched in October 2020. This geo coin program showcases many historic locations across NJ
