2019-2020 Hunting Season!
As if we don’t have enough to worry about: mosquitoes, ticks, poison ivy, snakes, muggles, falling off the sides of cliffs-- it’s hunting season! As I was searching for hunting schedules I found this extremely useful webpage on njhiking.com
This webpage covers all of New Jersey: https://www.njhiking.com/hiking-nj-during-hunting-season/. I would recommend reviewing it before leaving on your next trip into the woods.
Also, remember to wear bright colors especially blaze orange. You don’t want to mistaken for a deer.
Here’s another article with more suggestions during hunting season: https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/2013/09/24/hiking-hunting-season-safety-tips/2854437/.
Keep safe out there!

Afternoon Adventure: New Vernon, NJ
by Lynn8
Looking for a geocaching adventure with your children or grandchildren? Check out Historic New Vernon, NJ, in Harding Township. This small village contains 11 geocaches within a 2 mile radius. The two puzzle caches (GC163AK, GC3QF0Y) have a difficulty of 2.0 and it might be better to print them out and solve them ahead of time on a rainy day.
Come prepared for the letterbox (GC3QF0Y) with your stamp and stamp book. Please read the cache page, as the final is only available during certain hours.
Learn more about New Vernon’s history on the Downtown/Main Street USA: New Vernon cache (GC1567Z).
Bring a picnic lunch or visit the local bistro and don’t forget to take a walk around Bayne Park to collect a cluster of smileys.

Tick, Tick, Ticks!
Yes it’s that time of year again: Tick Season. We’ve already had several sightings. (Including one crawling on my jeans last weekend!)
You will need to protect yourself and your family and friends. I won’t bore you with an article on what they look like, or how to remove them, or prevent getting them. I’ll let others do that for me.
Here’s an article from the CDC. (Park and grabs are looking better and better!)
Here’s more from MedicineNet. (I may never go out into the woods again!)
There are many sites that review insect repellents. This looks like a good place to start: Consumer reports. (Geez, I wish they’d stop showing those super-magnified tick pictures!)
Many of the major outdoor companies, (Orvis, Cabellas, REI, etc.) now sell clothing that is already permeated with insect repellent. (I think I just received a 25% off coupon from Orvis…)
Happy Scratching um--Caching!

What's the Golden Ticket Contest?
By DisneyDork323
As a way to promote our upcoming 2019 Metro Gathering – Pirates of Port Royale Mega Event and give back to the local geocaching community, NNJC gives away 100 geocoins to all the lucky finders. “Golden Ticket Treasure Maps” are hidden in geocaches in the tristate area, clues are posted regarding the names of those caches on our website.
Some people find them by figuring out the clues and some happen to get lucky and find them randomly while caching.
There are a few wild goose chases but that’s what makes it a challenge.
Let us know you are coming by posting a will attend on the cache page.

Featured Cache
Tweet, Tweet!
This recently published cache caught my eye: Tweet, Tweet GC8313 by Ultrasound69. As stated, it is a park and grab, but really you will want to explore the contents and admire the craftsmanship. Please read the hint. It explains how to carefully open this cache. While you’re in the area, check out her other caches in the nearby park.
I reached out to Ultrasound69 and asked her a couple of questions:
Lynn8: How long have you been Geocaching?
Ultrasound69: I started Geocaching July of 2018.
Lynn8: How did you find out about Geocaching?
Ultrasound69: My father is a cacher and got me interested in it and took me out on my first day of caching!
Lynn8: Why did you decide to create geocaches?
Ultrasound69: I decided to start creating caches because I like the creativity of it. Which is why none of my caches are the same.
Lynn8: Where do you get your inspirations from?
Ultrasound69: I get some of my ideas from the internet and some from my own head!
Thank you for answering my questions and all those inventive caches!

CrAzY cAcHeRs Unite - Late Night Diner Run! 3/2/19
|
Another Night Owl event hosted by RyClops11.
This (hopefully annual) event was well attended by approximately 20 North, Central, and even some South Jersey cachers (who drove 130 miles to get there). The upstairs dining room was packed with friends, food, Geochat, TB drops and TB discoveries. Let's not forget the door prizes: Geocoin, Magnetic Key Holder and a Travel Bug. All supplied by our favorite night time host. Thank you, Ryan, for another fun filled event! |
Caching Through The Snow 14 ~ 2/24/19
After a 2 year hiatus, this annual event has been revived. The “Winter Picnic” was held at the Great Swamp Watershed Association's 73 acre Conservation Management Area (CMA) just off Harter Road in Morristown. There was more mud than snow but the mushy terrain did not stop the 40+ attendees from enjoying a campfire (complete with S’mores!), tasty hot cocoa, a geocache cake, and other treats. Everyone took home an NNJC bookmark created by 2nd Cup, Pip$queek and Speedy#1.
Roxbury Devil contributed to the fun with a St Patrick’s trivia game and he provided the prizes! Several new caches were published during our event and a large group headed out in a race for the FTFs. (Ok, really, it was a group thing. There was no pushing or shoving. Everyone shared the FTF. )
There might not have been a lot of snow but there was a lot of fun!
Thank you, Debbie Smith and Jen Kaufmann for all the event planning.

Welcome New GeoCachers!
February 23, the Kemmerer Library in Harding Township held an Introduction to Geocaching session presented by our president, John Neale (aka Old Navy). Approximately, 25 people attended this informational event including a local Girl Scout Troop. They were preparing to earn their Geocaching Badge. This is not a simple task. They have to complete 5 requirements:
1. Learn about geocaching
2. Learn to use a GPS
3. SWAG
4. Go caching!
5. Trackables
The presentation covered some of the requirements: the history of geocaching, how the satellites work, what are trackables, how to access the Geocaching Website and how to use the GPS. The troop applied this knowledge and immediately jumped into a Geocaching adventure. They found the library cache, solved the nearby puzzle cache, and discovered 3 additional caches in Bayne Park. They found SWAG, a trackable and earned their badge!
Special thanks to Speedy#1, Pip$queak, 2ndCup, and Chrmdome for placing two new caches in the park to add to fun!

"Send us your stories about your geocaching experiences"
Revelation!
by Lynn8
When my friend started geocaching I was mortified. We’d stop in parking lots and lift light post boxes. We’d rustle around bushes. We’d rummage through planters. Wander through corporate parks searching under benches! I kept expecting to see police, security guards, or soccer moms squinting suspiciously at us. With each find my friend was ecstatic. I was cringing.
Then we went to Duke Farms in Hillsborough, NJ. They have two Geotrails: TALON and Duke Farms. At last, I thought, a place where no one is going to yell at me, ticket me or think I was an urban terrorist.
I grabbed a map of Duke Farms, the Geotrails flyer, went home, opened Google maps and started plugging in the co-ordinates. I noted the locations on my paper map. I wrote down observations from the satellite view (under big tree, close to that intersection). I broke it down into several small visits. (I really like the brownies in the café so it was sort of an excuse to keep going back.)
Duke Farms Geotrail Cache GC3E42F, is comprised of 11 caches. In the caches you will find a letter. Write it down, solve the puzzle on the flyer and when you return to the orientation center you will receive a Duke Farms path tag. You don't need to complete the Geotrails to enjoy the caches at the farm. Each cache details the history and significance of its location. The Hay Barn had burned down and a sculpture garden took up residency inside the stone walls. At the Orchid range you can stick your nose in the orchids. If you're there at the right time you can see the waterfalls spilling into the lake.
I can't tell you about the TALON Geotrail GC5YE2D. I haven't started it yet but I have it all mapped out!
You may walk the trails, rent or bring your own bike, There is no admission fee. For more information visit https://www.dukefarms.org/

NNJC IN THE NEWS
Geocaching: Get outside for a tech treasure hunt
Michele S. Byers published Northjersey.com Feb. 25, 2019
Michele S. Byers is executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation
Geocaching began in 2000 when GPS coordinates for the first documented cache location in Oregon were posted online. Nearly two decades later, more than 3 million active geocaches are hidden around the world and published on websites.
New Jersey alone has thousands! Some parks even have dedicated geocache trails, like the one created by the Northern New Jersey Cachers club at the Whittemore Wildlife Sanctuary and Arts Center in Tewksbury Township.

My fellow geocachers, with 2018 coming to a close, I thought of a wonderful idea to share those
2018 memorable geocaches found during this past year that others may find that inspired you.The following list - include GC number, name, type of cache, where it was located, and why special.
1) GC1CYZC - American WWII Aircraft - B29 Super Fortress in Randolph, New Jersey. Puzzle Cache. This was culmination of finding 23 geocaches in the series to find a whopper of an ammo can! Great history on the cache pages!
2) GC2HN2H - Raiders of the Lost Cache in Mannheim, PA
Traditional Cache. Probably one of the most favorited geocaches on the east coast. Just plain fun!
3) GC3JAY4 - Tin Man just northeast of Albany, NY. Traditional cache. Great workmanship. Theme geocache. CO a great guy if you meet him.
4) GC6KFT3 - History at the Lenox Library in Lenox, MA. Puzzle Cache. Awesome old, historical library. Fun field puzzle stages inside of the library!
5) GC7B840 - US History: Saratoga Monument & Victory Woods, in Saratoga NY. Virtual cache. National historical monument. One of the tallest obelisks in NE. Lots of history, and park personnel will give you a tour! And you get to climb to the top!
6) GC650VC - Indian Echo Caverns, near Hershey, PA. Earth cache. Privately owned caverns that provide guided tours. Very nice. Especially on a hot summer day!
