Geocache Description:

Join us as we celebrate Geocaching East Coast Style!!

We are planning a geocaching weekend in this beautiful Provincial Park. Camping is available ... please contact the organizers.


 


What: An Atlantic Geocaching Event hosted by geocachers from around the province.
Where: Blomidon Provincial Park, Blomidon NS
When: Aug 22-24 2008

Feel free to simply drop into the Group Camp Site and visit ... there will be cachers hanging around all weekend if you'd like to stop by and chat or ask questions.


This is primarily a social weekend, designed to give cachers (old and new) a chance to meet and socialize in the wonderful and rustic environment of Blomidon Provincial Campground. Although there will be organized events and activities, we mainly rely upon the easy-going and relaxed atmosphere of this park to guide our weekend.

The Group Campsite we have booked is made up of several smaller cleared sites that accommodate 4 or 5 campers or tents, as well as a large grassed field and a group activity area with a shelter for cooking. We will have basic kitchen facilities onsite through the generosity and work of Bluenose Climbers. Washroom facilities are "vault" toilets, with access to the washroom facilities in the main park. These sites will be available for a small daily fee. Please contact the organizers to book your site.
