Accordingly this cache has been removed. Hopefully it can be rehidden and approved under the new regulations and then unarchived.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The cache is located in Belleplain state forest. Entrance fees are charged per vehicle from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day ($5.00 weekdays / $ 10.00 weekends). Lots of trails, camping, and swimming and canoeing during summer season. Make sure you have plenty of bug repellent. After all, the mosquito is the NJ state bird.

The cache is a clear Lock&Lock container. As far as its contents go, suffice it to say that our six children wanted most of the stuff. But they're nothing if not eclectic, so you are sure to find something that fits you.

Hints:

  1. Canoe find our cache?
  2. We hope you lake it.
  3. Head the direction three billy goats might find a troll.
  4. After SUNLIGHT AND GROUNDCOVER, the most important part of your search is DECOMPOSITION. But remember, the pine stump you're looking at is not the one you're looking for. It is very close, however.
Note: This cache was originally hidden by The Wild Tigheberries back in August, 2001.  They have since moved out of state but continued to have fond memories of this cache and the nearby Gus Memorial Cache.  Frodo_Underhill has agreed to adopt this cache so that this piece of South Jersey goecaching history can continue.  The wording on the cache page is essentially as The Wild Tigheberries originally posted it other than an update on the entry fees and the cache container.  Terrain / Difficulty ratings have been updated to reflect current practices and the coordinates have been adjusted to three decimal places.
