On Sunday, November 05, 2006, IMSpider was simply hiking along the cliffs of Garret Mountain and stumbled upon a geocache. Quite by accident he found "The Whole 9 Yards" (GCYMUP) by Vanm. This first geocache intrigued him, and he has since continued, persevering through rain, sleet and snow, finding 10,000 caches.

An IMSpider 10,000 tribute cache has been placed within Mountain Way Park. Come join NNJC as we celebrate IMSpider's 10,000th cache find. We will have a group hike at 9:30 am to find the cache and celebrate this milestone!

There will also be some other new nearby caches in the park which will all be activated the day of the event.

Mark Your Calendars! It's that time again to get together for a little holiday celebration at Kroghs Brewpub in Sparta, NJ. Festivities start at 12 noon.

The sixth annual Caching Through The Snow Event will be held Sunday, December 6th. Come join us for a bit of a holiday celebration and cheer.

Although Team Rampant Lion has moved out west, NNJC will host one of the oldest geocaching caching events in the north east.

For you geocoin nuts, please bring your coins for showing and swapping.

We will be trying to place a number of new caches in the area to make it worth your while for the cachers coming from a distance. We will likely try to organize a group hike in advance of the event. Watch the mid-atlantic forums on geocaching.com for more information. It seems that every other year Sparta gets hit by a major snowstorm around this time. Hopefully, there will be a little snow so the event can live up to its name.

The location for this event is a registered National Historic Landmark. In the spring of 1999, this small restaurant became a brew pub. A state-of-the-art microbrewery, it produces handcrafted beers sold on the premise and to the fine community of Sparta and the entire Sussex County region.
