AAR: American Revolution GeoTrail
Yesterday, Tom and I returned from New Jersey and a brutal six days working on the American Revolution GeoTrail . I first learned about it last year, while looking up information for 2020's Metro Gathering , which was being held in conjunction with the kick-off of the GeoTrail. Well, the event didn't happen, due to COVID, but the GeoTrail launch did. 77 caches were placed throughout the northern half of New Jersey, at locations significant to the American Revolution. The first 100 geocachers to find a minimum of 50 of these caches - 27 of which are required - will be awarded a geocoin. Unfortunately, one of the required caches is inside the Ford Mansion (Washington's Headquarters), which has been closed to the public ever since the COVID epidemic. We'll have to go back when it re-opens in order to earn our geocoin. For the most part, we really enjoyed our time visiting the historic locations and learning the stories about the people that helped form our nation.
