Get Ready…..Get Set…..Come Out & Play!

milosheart

The 2011-2012 New Brunswick Come Out & Play contest officially started this morning.

 It’s a contest for all New Brunswick cachers, those residing in NB and those from the border towns of Calais and Houlton, Maine. The goal is to accumulate points (or negative points) by completing 20 of 44 tasks over the next 4 ½ months. Go for high or low score; your choice.

 There are launch events being held today in Moncton (GC368E7) and Bathurst (GC35WZ8) and on Sunday in Fredericton (GC363MV),  Saint John (GC35XFH) and St. Stephen (GC363K5). We hope you can make it to the event nearest you but you do not have to attend an event to participate in the contest. All the info you need is available here on CUNB by clicking on the “New Brunswick 2011-2012 Come Out & Play Contest” banner near the top of the page.

The rules and tasks have been revised and all the previous links to them have been updated. You may also get them here (French version here).

 We hope you’ll join us! Cache safely, have fun and get out and play!!

We're milosheart, also known as Gwen & Terry LeBlanc. We're from Fredericton and have been involved with geocaching since March 2008. When we started caching we each had our own accounts/names. He was Frogger57 and I was milosheart. milo is a nickname of Terry's (from a song he messed up the words to) and, well, I'm his heart (we're still on our honeymoon, 6 yrs on). He logged his first 19 caches then gave up. He loves to go caching, loves the driving, travelling, meeting fellow cachers, searching and finding but could care less about the logging, planning, numbers, etc. He doesn't know how to use the GPS and has no desire to learn, doesn't have a clue what GSAK is, nor care. I love him more for just going with me, blindly sometimes! LOL So we just continued on using my original account and became team milosheart. We cache here in Freddy Beach, Moncton (Terry's hometown), Saint John (my sister and fellow cacher, eebee, lives there) and just about anywhere else we go. Yes, we are addicted. Happily.

  • Awesome! We have, as of 5:10 pm today, 61 players registered and 21 claims submitted! 🙂 It’s going to take me awhile to get to them all so give me a day or two to process them. We forgot that we’d changed the scoring from last year so Terry has to make some major changes to the spreadsheet! Oooops, my bad! 🙁

  • Not a problem at all, take your time. I can only imagine the amount of work you guys devoted into this. First of all Zor must have done a good bunch of coding and then you and Terry processing and compiling all that info. Hats off to you, I sure appreciate all the efforts everyone involved put in this.

  • We submitted our first claim…it included our first multi cache EVER and also our 300th find. All that in just one Task. It’s gonna be a great winter! Thanks so much for organizing this contest!

  • As of 6:30 pm today, Sunday, Nov 27th, we have 86 players registered and have approved 132 claims. Pretty awesome! 🙂
