Summer is a great time to come to these events: more out of towners and more cachers heading out after events for a day's caching. I hope it's really nice out so we can get some fresh air out on the deck. See you there George! Just a note: please remember to log any coins/bugs into or out of your possession! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=5380cf38-a880-4ebc-8364-6112319892d1&log=y

We would like to invite everyone for a Saturday Morning Brunch during our fine festivities. Time: 10:am to 12 When: July 25, 2009 Where: 5013 Main St. Who: GeoJo.ca and Brad We're holding a Saturday morning brunch in Dorchester, to start off your day of geocaching in Tantramar. Being new to Geocaching, one of the things we've come to enjoy immensely are the people we've been able to meet at the gatherings and enjoy online. We're in the middle of at a plethora of interesting caches. It's a really pretty area. We have exceptional coffee and baked goods. All we need to make a good time of it is you. Everyone is welcome. Sit and have a cup of joe with us, juice for the kids, and something yummy to munch on. Hope to see you here. We're easy to find on the Main Rd. not too far from the bird. Speaking of birds, the Semipalmated Sandpiper Calidris pusilla, migrate to Dorchester Cape every year for feeding on the shore by the thousands. It's quite a sight to see especially at low tide. Hope to see you in Dorchester for brunch. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=9c101669-70b5-4f9e-8e46-46eb972f1648&log=y

Specifically, we're looking at creating a caching series from Sackville to Joggins (or even Parrsboro) and also hoping to have local cachers (Dorchester, Amherst, Aulac, Memramcook, Sackville, etc) input about holding a Bagtown Cache Dash for later in the summer or early in the fall to entice caching folks from all over the maritimes to our beautiful town and area for fun and adventure! See you there! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=1427dac1-b8e0-42ea-afde-725bce8c8443&log=y

Event Description: Caching for cash. It was a great success last year so why not make it bigger and better this year – more caches to find, bonus geobucks and a free barbeque at the end of the day! There are a series of temporary geocaches hidden around the park, each with bundles of geobucks (OK, play money) stashed in them. With the clock running find as many as you can, grab the bucks while competing against other geocachers. Use the geobucks to bid for prizes, courtesy of the Irving Nature Park, at an auction. For the beginners, there will be a short “Introduction to Geocaching” presentation to help get you started. Teams will register before being given the cache coordinates and heading out on the hunt. All interested parties are asked to meet at the shelter above the information kiosk. The “Introduction to Geocaching” presentation starts at 10:30 a.m. The “Geocaching for Geobucks” competition will begin around 12 noon. The auction will follow the competition and wrapping up the day will be a free barbeque. New to the event is a way to earn bonus geobucks. If you have a digital camera or camcorder … bring it! Young and old, experienced and beginners join us for an afternoon of friendly geocaching with a twist. Do it alone or do it as a team, just do it! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=489dcd8b-f12e-40a6-9a18-bbf1ec452470

Ironbound's First Geocaching Event (GC1DV88)

Event Description: Ironbound's First Geocaching Event Spend a day on Ironbound viewing the sites and finding its geocaches. East Ironbound Island has been the setting for TV shows, a book or two, and even a movie. It also has one of the highest cache densities of any island in the Maritimes. This event will give people the chance to visit the island, tour its shores, and find its caches. The event will occur on Saturday, August 1 with Sunday, Augst 2nd as the rain alternate. A rain decision will be made a day or two beforehand. Eastriver is handling the mainland side of the event. A boat has been chartered to take two boatloads of twelve passengers each to the island. The first one will leave New Harbour wharf at 10:00 AM sharp. The approximate turn-around time is 1/2 hour. New Harbour is just off Hwy 329, via Hwy #3. Hwy 329 can be accessed at either Hubbards (exit 6 of the 103 Hwy) or at East River (Exit 7 of the 103 Hwy). Hwy 329 goes completely around the Aspotogan Penninsula and there are many caches on that Route as well. Use GCY1CF as the co-ords to find the actual wharf. Please do not park right there as this is a private area. Parking is available where the wharf road branches off from the main road going around the harbour. Islander1988 is handling the island side of things. Much of the island is private property, so he will guide the group along the roads and beaches. He will also make his family's house available for washroom facilities and be able to take people inside the island's one room school. How do you prepare for the day? Here are things to bring. A. Cost is $20.00 per person. Money will be collected just before we board that morning. B. Everybody to bring their own PFD/lifejacket. C. We will probably be out there until at least supper-time. Pick-up time will be arranged via cell phone in the afternoon. D. Bring a lunch if you want, or snack foods, but definetly bring some water. E. The terrain varies, and can be anywhere from gravel road to very slippery along the sea shore. A good hiking stick may be very useful that day. Good footwear is a must. F. Don't forget your fly dope either. For the latest discussion on the trip, watch for posts here and in the thread on ACGA. We'll see you on the island!

Event Description: Come spend the afternoon with Da By's, and celebrate Canada Day. Canada Day in our Provincial Parks is a nice family event. Some park have parades, games, nature hikes, and much more for the whole family. This year I plan on having a geocache event in the old La Manche village, now part of La Manche Provincial Park. There are 7 caches located in the park (one is a 5/5 rating), and there are 5 more that border the park. we plan on placing at least 5 more caches in the park both in the village and in the camping area. The event will start rain or shine, (if it is snowing, or thunder and lightning this will be cancelled) at 1:00pm, at the above coords, and should last an hour. The schedule will be as follows 1:00 - start of event / welcome 1:05 - breif history of La Manche Village 1:10 - moment of silence and ceremony for Remembering Beaumont Hammel. 1:20 - Happy Birthday Canada! 1:25 - FTF draw (with a twist), Sign log. 1:30 - Draw for prizes. 1:45 - Upcoming events, cacher milestones, group photo. 1:55 - Receive list of existing and new caches in the park/area 2:00 - Lets Geocache! Parking for the event would be located at the end of La Manche road (located 1km south on route 10 from La Manche Provincial Park entrance); at the entrance to the East Coast Hiking Trail. You will have to hike down this trail to the village, and once there if early explore the village. I have counted over 150 people spending the afternoon hiking, picnicking, swimming, and even geocaching in the village quite often. If you cannot make it to this event, try and make it out to your local Provincial Park and spend the day. I will add info for other Provincial Parks Canada Day events later on. The hike to the village is an exciting one i have seen all types of wildlife from rare birds, to moose, hares, eagles, otters, seals, and even whales are also common sight at the village. give your self a good 30 - 45 minutes to hike the trail to the village from the parking lot. please wear suitable shoes, there are some places where crocks or sandles are not good to have on your feet. the village is also a great place to have a picnic, however camping in this area is forbidden due to its remoteness and lack of cell phone coverage. where this is our first event if anyone would like to donate something, help out, or give us a few pointers feel free to contact me. finally if you are planning on attending please let me know so i would have somewhat of an idea on a general number. Please take the attributes into consideration (Remember this is a Provincial Park) No open fires No camping No cutting ALL DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH! there are no restrooms near by no cell phone coverage there are cliffs and steep hills in the area so keep back from edges. parking at the ECT trail head is free however if you wish to park in the park it may cost you (also there is a big hil to climb) you can get a stroller to the village however it would be easier to leave it in the car (trust me on that) any questions feel free to contact me. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=fe638d7c-f271-472c-ac12-dfbf37cc2594&log=y

Event Description: Scheduled for the last day of the campout event, this is an opportunity to log a new cache type for most of you as well as doing something that contributes to the community. While out maintaining a cache I ran into a fellow cacher and we got into a discussion on how much litter was strewn about this area. The plan is to meet at Tim Horton's (N 48° 57.271 W 054° 36.140) at 9:00AM. At 9:30AM we will depart for the published co-ordinates and perform a general clean-up of the area using trash bags. The clean-up should probably take about 60 to 90 minutes, leaving time for lunch before the 2nd annual Dash & Splash Flash Geocache Event for those geocachers looking to attend. There will be a CITO coin awarded to one of the participants in a random draw. Garbage Bags will be provided, but those of you that have workgloves are encouraged to bring them. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=c01f045a-04bd-4deb-a077-c2bad39bd1b3&log=y

The Wrong Side of the Tracks - II (GC1R110)

Event Description: 2nd annual Dash & Splash Flash Geocache Event. Last years event had the East crowned as the victors. You can see the photos and get the YouTube video links for last years event by looking up GC1F92K when seeking a cache. The definition of a Flash Mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, then quickly disperse. We hope to accomplish exactly that so timing is important. On Sunday July 12th at 11:55 AM people will assemble in two clearly defined groups at either side of the section of the transcanadian trail (AKA The Tracks) marked by the published battle coordinates - depending upon which side of the tracks you live on... If you live on the Cobb's Pond side of the tracks, came into Gander via Gander Bay Road or if you came into Gander from the west via the TCH you assemble at the Airport Blvd end of the trans canadian trail as marked by the coordinates N48'57.879 W054'37.023 If you live on the Gander Airport side of the tracks, or if you came into Gander from the east via the TCH you assemble at the Memorial Drive end of the trans canadian trail as marked by the coordinates N48'57.768 W054'36.597. At high noon both sides will advance upon each other bearing various water-pistols, super-soakers, and so on for a ten minute H2O meelee... the only rule is no muggle soaking - if the person isn't holding a water weapon of some sort and appears to be confused by the sudden crowd of water happy people than please do not soak them. At exactly 12:10 PM a cease-fire will be issued, where everyone will stand down their weapons and sign the year long peace treaty (AKA the logbook). Bring lots of 'ammo' folks it's going to be a wet one! Oh and of course no frozen water balloons! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=0c5bb75f-1892-4ca7-9b39-476ec28cb882&log=y
