Event Boxes: There will be several event boxes hidden
just for this gathering. There are several other
permanent boxes within approximately 10 miles of this
event.

Exhibits: Does anyone want to volunteer their services
to teach stamp carving, log book making or an advanced
rubber stamp technique?

Requirements: Please bring your own BBQ utensils,
charcoal and ice, if needed. They do have soda
machines there. There are 6 picnic tables and 6
charcoal grills (unless severe dry (drought)
conditions are in effect). Alcoholic beverages are
prohibited in this park. Furred animals or pets are
prohibited from buildings, bathing areas, all camping
areas and over night facilities. Unduly annoying
conduct is prohibited. All firearms of any kind are
strictly prohibited. Not my rules the state park
rules.

Goal: To bring as many southern New Jersey letterboxes
together to form some sort of group, club or social to
make more people aware of this cool hobby. To plan
monthly weekend hunts with other south Jersey
letterboxers. The pavilion is costing me to rent it
for the day. If enough people come to the gathering
and are serious in starting a group we can organize a
way or take donations to have more gatherings in the
future. Because anywhere we hold the next gathering
we will have to pay for the site if we want similar
facilities. So please try and come out to this
gathering and lets try to make this group work. (Any
and all suggestions welcomed) See you there.

Coordinator: letterboxing (Bev)
I will bring paper plates, cups and napkins.

Directions: Brendan T. Byrne State Forest
