Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate the "10th Anniversary of Geocaching" and join the Northern New Jersey Cachers (NNJC) for the "NNJC 2010 Spring Picnic" on May 1, 2009 at Morris County's Loantaka Brook Reservation, Morris Township, NJ.
There will be many 10th Anniversary events held throughout the world on May 1st and 2nd to celebrate the 10-year geocaching milestone. Groundspeak will issue a unique 10-year "EVENT ICON" for attending an event using the "10 years! (town, state)" format. Plan on sharing this geocaching anniversary by attending the NNJC milestone event!
We have rented a covered pavilion which sits right next to the scenic Loantaka Lake. Plan to come spend the day with your fellow geocachers, venture out on the geo-anniversary to do some local caching and return for some food, drink and relaxation.
GEOCOIN MINIFEST
In honor of the 10th anniversary of geocaching we would like to give folks the opportunity to see the variety of geocoins that have been minted and collected. We will have an afternoon geocoin minifest at the spring picnic. Everyone is welcome to bring and share their geocoin collection to show or trade. This gives new cachers the opportunity to learn about geocoins, get a chance to see a variety of coins, and possibly obtain a geocoin from veteran geocoin collectors.
NEW CACHES
There will be some new caches placed around Loantaka Brook Reservation. The area has a lot of existing caches for you to enjoy while spending time at the NNJC picnic.
