CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
With much frustration The Metro Gathering Mega ~ American Revolution will be cancelled August 29th, 2020 and rescheduled at a later date.
Unfortunately New Jersey is in the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic with many restriction that may or may not be lifted by August. To be safe we have decided its in the best interest to reschedule the Mega event for a number of reasons below:
~ We waited to see if we would be able to host the event, but we don't believe any large gatherings will be allowed by August.
~ We are beyond the proper time for online Pre-Event ordering of registration packages, coins, tags, shirts etc, as the event store is important to support the Mega event.
~ We normally would have our popular promotional "Golden Tickets" contest launched which was on hold because of NJ parks restrictions.
~ The Metro Gathering Mega team have not been able to have proper planning meetings onsite with the County Park officials to fully develop the event plans.
This is very frustrating and we know many folks will be disappointed, but with these uncertain times we have no choice.
Something to look forward to in NJ!
NNJC will be launching the long awaited "NJ American Revolution Geo-trail" across NJ hopefully this summer. With 60+ historic locations and 100 geocoins for completing to passport, look for info on NNJC.org, NNJC's Facebook, and the new website njpatriots.com going live when launched.
Thank you for all the support, this was a tough decision and we look forward to hosting the mega event as soon as we can properly arrange a date.

Geocachers from across the United States and beyond are invited August 29th, 2020, 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.
