Geocache Description:

GONE Caching!
The Geocachers of the North East (GONE) caching and camping event Labor Day weekend (September 3rd, 4th, 5th)at Camp Glen Gray. DAY EVENT on Sunday 4th for those who do not want to camp!!!!



What is it...?
Cache your way to September 3rd through 5th at Camp Glen Gray
(Camp Glen Gray), located in Northern New Jersey, just off interstate 287. Meet fellow cachers from all over the region and beyond. For a two day get-together: camping, playing GPS games, participating in fun activities, finding event caches, fishing (with NJ license), boating, hiking, dining, gathering around the council campfire and sharing caching stories with fellow geocachers from the Northeast.

Where is it...?
Truly a world apart, Camp Glen Gray offers the many pleasures of outdoor camping in a locations that is remote yet convienent to out of staters. The camp sits in northern New Jersey, just off interstate 287 and offers 750 pristine forested acres and over a dozen campsites. With over 100 caches within a 10 mile radius the area is truly a caching dream!


Caches
There are over 100 caches within a 10 mile radius of the camp. The event staff have laid out a Kids Kandyland Kache, a night cache and an event cache which encompasses all elements of Camp Glen Grays surroundings.

Camping
Camping check-in starts at 8 a.m. on the Saturday and runs throughout the weekend. Campsites offer cabins for 9-30 people ($12 for the weekend), wooden lean-tos that sleep four ($8 for the weekend) and tent and platform sites ($6 for the weekend). Central to each camp site is the campfire circle and all sites have drinking water (bring your own containers) and latrine facilities (bring your own tp). You can make a reservation now by e-mailing Avroair at: reservations@nnjc.org or you can pay the day of. PLEASE DONOT CONTACT CAMP GLEN GRAY DIRECTLY UNLESS YOU WANT A CABIN! They have a volunteer, part-time staff.
UPDATE: The camp is 'rustic' with all campsites about .25 miles from the parking area. No RVs or vehicles are allowed at the campsites. I have arranged for a truck to shuttle equipment and people's stuff up to the camp areas. Each campsite has its own fire-ring and latrine. There are showers and a well nearby.

There are also hotels available close by for those who don't want to camp, but want to attend the daily activities.


Directions
The camp is remote, but very accessible by interstate 287. For directions and mapquest click: Here!
