In celebration of International Geocaching Day, we are providing you with a very fortunate day - one which you will be sure to remember. During the day, we will bring you to three of Nashua, NH's finest parks, with the final event being held at a wonderful park in Hudson NH. After each event, there will be time for you to do some Geocaching before the next event begins.

A Fortunate Event #4 – GC3JJDF - Benson Park event
Please note: You are not required to attend all of the events if you choose not to. If you are participating in the game, then it will be a benefit for you to attend all of the events. Also, you do not have to play the game if you choose not to. Even if you are not playing the game, you can attend each event so you can sign the log book.
Also, due to the limited amount of time at the cache mob events, there will be no discovering of trackables until the final event. You are welcome to drop off trackables at any of the events and we will bring them to the final.
A Series of Fortunate Events! Cache Mob #1
This event will be the first event for the day. It is a cache mob event held at beautiful Greely Park. At this event, you will be given instructions on how to play the game we will be offering. Once you receive your instructions and sign the log, you can head on out and do some Geocaching before the next event starts.
About Greeley Park
Greely Park is located on Concord St. in the downtown area of Nashua.
Greeley Park is a public park in Nashua, New Hampshire, occupying 125 acres extending from the Merrimack River, across Concord Street, to Manchester Street. The property was originally bought in 1801 by Joseph Greeley, who passed it on to his son after his death. The land was deeded to the city of Nashua in 1896 by Joseph Thornton Greeley, the grandson of the original Joseph Greeley. In 1908, John E. Cotton donated $5000, an amount that was "matched by city funds", to change the Greeley Farm into a public park. The money was used to create a "stone and cement rest house, a fountain, a shallow pond, a gravel walk, and flower beds". A German howitzer from World War I is located in the park
Greeley Park hosts many citywide events, such as the Fairytale Festival, Art Show, and Halloween "Fright Night", and is a traditional photogenic place for prom night for Nashua High School South and North. On a smaller scale, at the bandstand in the spring and summer there are plays, movies and music festivals. The park also features hiking trails, horseshoe pits, ball fields, tennis courts, a community gardening section, and boat ramp on the west side of the Merrimack River between the Massachusetts border and the first rapids in New Hampshire.
During September 1999, American politician John McCain officially announced his candidacy for president of the United States to a crowd of around one thousand in Greeley Park, beginning his first presidential campaign.
Have a great time at the event, as well as the caching in between, and remember to always CITO!
