Alluvial Material Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: From the Northern Region Office, New Jersey State Parks Department:


Over a year ago New Jersey enacted a policy that all geocachers must obtain a permit to have their cache on State Park property. We have informed all geocaching host that this is their responsibility and have given them ample time to go about getting their permits. At this time, over a year later, there are still several caches that haven’t complied.

We ask that as the land managers for the attached properties we would like to have these illegal caches removed.


Based on the list provided by the state, I am forced to archive this listing. If you have a permit, get a permit or don't believe your cache is on state park/forest land, please contact me via email. Make sure you include the GC code.

If you don't plan to get a permit, please remove your geocache so it doesn't become geo-trash.

Geocache Description:

Team Epitome has provided you with what shall prove to be one of central New Jersey's most elusive hidden caches!

We have chosen a remote location with many scenic views. This is a true geocaching adventure, and as such we shall provide very little detail in the hope that it will be all the more rewarding if and when you locate the cache. Take warning, this will not be a quick find…we have taken sufficient steps to ensure that the cache will never be accidentally wandered upon…it is extremely well hidden! You will find that GPS signal reception is quite poor in the general location of the cache. We have done our best to provide you with the most accurate coordinates possible. (Average of 9 waypoints set with 18Ft accuracy)

We leave the tasks of parking locations and trail selection to you. We recommend wearing boots or hiking shoes with good ankle support as the cache is about .75 miles from the nearest parking, with the only paths being sometimes rocky and uneven. You will not require any special equipment however you may want to bring a decent hiking stick if you have one.

Team_Epitome asks that you respect this environment, it is a beautiful section of the woods and we hope to keep it that way. Although we have hidden this cache where it is not clearly visible, there is no need to go turning over fallen branches, or brushing aside fallen leaves. There is no need for digging (so please don't do it) nor is there a need to disturb any plantlife.

A note to the potential seeker: Several have tried before you and failed. This one is hard...on purpose, as the 4.5 difficulty rating suggests. This isn't going to be easy to find and we want you to consider that before trying. We think that it can be located. It is not impossible, as some have proven. We ask that you please review the comments posted below from those who have tried to locate this cache, BEFORE you go about trying to find it yourself. If you still desire to take a crack at it, we wish you all the luck in the world.

If by some luck you do manage to find the cache, we ask that you replace it with the dilligence we took in hiding it. Our desire was to create a difficult cache to find and we ask that you help us keep it that way.

NOTICE: There are areas in the vicinity of the cache that are private property. They are very clearly marked and impossible to wander onto without knowing it. Please do not tresspass, it is in no way required to find this cache.

GOOD LUCK!!!
