President's Welcome 1/21/2023 updated
On behalf of the officers of the Northern New Jersey Cachers (NNJC), a non-profit geocaching organization, come join the fun event.
Its hard to believe this year will be the 9th Metro Gathering Mega Event, it should be our 10th, but lets not talk about life in 2020. Our first year was in 2014 in Union County which we pulled off producing this new event in less the 5 months after HQ's approval. We spent the next 5 years at a larger venue at Waterloo Village which we produced some great themes, Historic Canal, Headless Horseman, Witches of Salem, and Pirates of Port Royal. In 2021 we moved the Mega Event to a new location with our Middlesex County Partners at historic East Jersey Old Town. August 7th 2021 We launched the NJ American Revolution Geo Trail the fall of 2020, a journey of historic discovery. (njpatriots.org) So we continued the theme to embrace NJ's American Revolution War history with the 2021 Metro Gathering Mega on August 7th 2021. We continued the theme the following year 2022, with Washington's Spies and held it June, 18th 2022. In 2021 besides "Golden Tickets", 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. In 2022 we continued the search for "Golden Spy Notes" and "Capture the Spy". In 2023 we will be back at East Jersey Old Town on June 17th, 2023 Mark your calendars and come join the 2023 Mega Event with a new theme: "Greetings from New Jersey: A Postcard Journey" The Pre and Post Mega celebrations too! The Pre registration Store will open in the spring. Please support the Mega event! John Neale SAR, Old Navy |

The 2022 Metro Gathering ~ NJ's American Revolution "Washington's spies"
New Jersey played a crucial role in the American Revolution
2022 Mega we continue to embrace New Jersey’s American Revolutionary War history
with Washington's Spies, The Culper Spy Ring.
New Jersey is called the "Crossroads of the American Revolution"as is held a key geographical position at the center of the new nation positioned between the Nations Capitol in Philadelphia and the British stronghold in New York city.
