Geocache Description:

A shorter hike past a beautiful historic mill site and pond for most of the trip. Oh, yes, then into the woods to search for a cache you will Never Find! I dare you to try. Don't mind any shooting in the target ranges. Unless you don't listen to my parking suggestions and walk through the target ranges... Just joking. Hey, if you find it, don't spoil it for others. No hints. This is the hardest to find of todays placements.

Bring very small things for this small mustard jar with a blue lid (like the color will help you, Ha). Bring a George replacement or some special coins or the like. (1.5 x 3.0 inches.) Hunting season is over until fall by the way. If you ever find this, please spent the time needed to replace and Cover the cache well. Make sure it is secure. Any problems, email me. Cloudy day, so I averaged about 10 readings, but you will find the stick markers at the coordinates. If you even get there.

Suggested parking is N 40.03.444/W 74.26.517. To park, continue a short distance down the bumpy sand rd. - Prospertown-Colliers Mills rd past the entrance of this Wildlife Management area. Follow the GPS pointer and bear left (which left) heading to a parking area at the southern end of Turn Mill Pond. Cars park here for hunting all the time, even though the road is ruff.

Note the little bridge. Maybe Colliers Mill was located here? I was going to place the cache here, but it was just too easy. I am going to make you work just a wee bit to get to the location. The GPS goto pointer will tell you where to turn. See how nice I am to you. I take care of my geo buddies. The woods at this point are a combination of wet soggy marshes changing to dry oak and pine needle coverings. I stayed dry the entire time. You are going to suffer trying to locate this one. That is, unless you really pay attention to the hints. If you search for my caches, by now you know I am getting tricky. (hint) The woods have thickets and thorns, but you can get through most of it with ease if you look ahead. My typical coverings are in the cache area to let you know you are close, but that would be too easy. The cache is not under those sticks. You will have to find it.
