Geocache Description:

First Mega Geocaching Campout Event at Neys

This weekend Geocaching Event will be held at Neys Lunch & Campground, just outside of Neys Provincial Park (the former location of a World War II German Prisoner of War Camp).

The central meeting place for all activities will be at Neys Lunch & Campground. Camping is available in the region and we are encouraging geocachers to spend the weekend in the area for the various geocaching event activities, geocaching stories and geocaching experiences.

We are encouraging new and experienced geocachers (and even new persons wanting to learn more about geocaching) from the region and beyond to come out and enjoy a weekend of geocaching activities.

More details regarding the camping facilities, meals, campfires, prizes will be posted on the NorWest Ontario Geocachers website. (http://nwogeocachers.com/forum/index.php#2) Go to “Forums” – “Events and Outings” for more details. Check often for updates and/or changes to the activities.
