Third annual
New York Capital Region Geocachers Picnic
September
24 and 25 2005
Moreau
Lake
State Park
Come join us for two fun filled days of fun, games and
camping. You can come for a couple hours have some fun and
meet a few new friends. Or you can come for a couple of days
have some fun and meet a whole bunch of new friends. Either
way you will go away with some great
memories and many new
friendships.
Moreau Lake State Park is one of the capital
region's premier parks and the Palmertown Range is one of the best kept secrets in
the Northeast. Moreau Park has been named one of the top 100
campgrounds in the nation. Palmertown Range has some of the best hiking and
mountain biking trails south of the Adirondacks and yes
its located in Moreau Lake
State Park. What a playground for big kids.
There will be gps games for both young and old.
Moreau Park already has a few caches and more will be placed
by event time along with a few temporary caches. I'm not
making any promises but rumor has it there will be a couple night
caches too so bring your headlights. There is a playground
for the junior geocachers only a few feet from the pavilion.
When you arrive please go to the registration table and register
for the door prize drawing for that day, there will be one each
day.
We’ll have a travel bug table set up so log any travel bugs you
want to bring into this cache page.
Lunch on Saturday and Sunday will be potluck so everyone please
bring a plate to share. Check this list to see what others are bringing and what may
still be needed.
Camping is available on the grounds and reservations can be made
through Reserve America. Some of us are
setting up in loop F&G if you would like to group up there
will be a list of campsites here. There will be a
bonfire gathering on Friday and Saturday evenings, with or
without the moon.

few hundred feet depending on which direction you were traveling,
