Event time: 5:45am-6:30am at the above coords.
Since this date is 'Labor Day Weekend', I just wanted everyone
to put this date on their calender. Like most New Hampshire
National scenic areas, there is a parking fee of $3.oo per car.
(unless you have purchased a White Mtn Rec. Pass) Since we are not
from this area of New Hampshire we have asked a few local cachers
for advice when visiting these parts of the woods and they have
agreed to attend this event to offer everyone valuable hints, tips
and suggestions for caching in this area. Hopefully this will be
helpful to ensure that we all have a safe and enjoyable visit to
this part of New Hampshire. We will not have a travel bug exchange
table but of course everyone is welcome to 'swap' their bugs and
coins during this event. We will be raffling off an unregistered
geocoin ( not sure yet as we have to wait until the new shipment
arrives from overseas) Hipointer & Capiti have
volunteered to present helpful and useful tips and hints for
geocaching in the North Conway area. They are also the creators of
the Moat Mountain Progressive Challenge Series and are known to
have climbed all the mountains in this area. Too Tall John,
Retreat Specialist and local outdoorsman will be attending and will
be offering advice on "Animal Encounters". This can prove very
helpful for hikers in the north country. Nemsmedic11, who is
an EMT will also be attending and will gladly give out "Safety
Smarts" advice for hikers visiting the north country. Hopefully we
may have more 'locals' attending who will enjoy sharing their
'Bear Tales and more' with us. There are many other
series caches that have popped up in the last year like; The
Central New Hampshire Rails Trails, Iron Bearcamp Rails Trails
& Red Soxs Series. This may be a great opportunity for cachers
to spend the day with newly made friends after the event exploring
this area. After this event Mr KK will be attempting the Moat
Mountain, hiking north to south. (Ms KK will take advantage of the
Labor Day Sales at the North Conway Outlet Malls). More suggestions
will follow and are welcome.
A small change of plans
.....After event I will be climbing the moat trail to Moat#9 &
returning via the red Ridge Trail...This eliminates cars having to
be parked at the south end
