As I sit in the Montreal Airport, I thought I would end this chapter of my visit to NB. I managed to get about 150 caches, mostly in the morning early, but Princess! and I did go to Quebec for a day, Amqui, a small town about 90 KM's away from Campbellton New Brunswick. It was a beautiful drive along a river all the way. managed to get a few caches and a letterbox for my 7 days of August. My sister, Indynb and I went to Bathurst for a day of caching. We started out on HWY 11 doing a power trail, NOT, this is considered a HWY power trail, all caches were about 30 to 60 meters through wet road side swamp and thick bush. We did this for about 4 hours and then back to Bathurst for some urban caching. A lot of these were a little tough but better than the power trail. Most cachers do not give hints or put clues on the cache page.
But over all it was a good time and look forward to my next trip here.
On the way to the airport this morning we had a few hours to kill so we grabbed 9 caches in the Bathurst area and near the airport.
Happy Geocaching . Geocaching My Way of Life Paulboy

Day Five in New Brunswick
Things are moving along great with the caching in the early morning. Doing a lot of headlamp caching until the sun comes up. We had our event last night and most of the people that showed up were french which was different from our events on the west coast. But most of them speak English as well. Half of them were from the Quebec side of the river. Lots of fun as usual. As I have five of the August souvenirs and no letterbox for 200 KM's around, I thought I would have to wait to get back to BC to finish but one of the cachers from Amqui, Quebec, about 80 KM's away has has a letter box there so Princess and I are heading there about 0900 hours this morning for the cache and a little site seeing as well. As I did a PQ it is apparent that all the caches are in french but I am able to translate most of what I need. Although I was brought up here, it is an area I have not visited yet, so should be fun. I never did check that area for a letter box, so the event paid off. I will do a new log later to let you know how it went..Happy caching .

Caching In New Brunswick
Arrived after a long flight and on the way home, I just had to grab one not to far from the Airport. I have been caching early in the morning in Campbellton and area, mostly my sister's (Indynb), caches. I usually leave about 0500 hours and cache in the dark for a while with a head lamp until the light breaks. It sure is different here, mostly no clues but they are almost all hanging, winter friendly they call it. If you ask any other cacher, even my sister for a clue, you would think you asked then for a $1000.00.
Did some caching in Quebec this morning and the same goes for their caches except a lot of them are in french but some of them are french as well as English. The fir trees rip your hands and arms apart and I have a few scrapes on my head as well.
All together having fun visiting with the parents and the early caching is a blast. On Thursday, Indynb and I are going down towards Bathurst for a day of caching but for some reason, I think it will not be as long as I hope it is, but it will be good to cache with my little sister.
I have managed to find about 75 caches so far and have three souvenirs for the challenge this month and my event will give me 4 plus a virtual will give me 5 tomorrow.
I will post another note on Friday before the end of the day happy caching.
