The Sixth Annual Caching Through The Snow Event will be held
Sunday, December 6th and will begin at 12:00 (noon) at Kroghs
Brewpub in Sparta, NJ for a bit of a holiday celebration and get
together.
Although TRL has moved out west, NNJC will host one of the
oldest geocaching caching events in the NorthEast.
For you geocoin nuts, please bring your coins for showing and
swapping.
We will be up to ten new caches in the area to make it worth
your while for the cachers coming from a distance. And will likely
try to organize a group hike in advance of the event. Watch the
Mid-Atlantic Forums on Geocaching.com for more information. It
seems that every other year Sparta gets hit by a major snowstorms
around this time. Hopefully, there will be a little snow so the
event can live up to it's name.
The location for this event is a registered National Historic
Landmark. In the spring of 1999, this small restaurant became a
Brew Pub becoming the first state-of-the-art microbrewery,
producing handcrafted beers sold on the premise, to the fine
community of Sparta and the entire Sussex County region.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
