Park at the Morris Canal Park just off route 10 in Roxbury/Ledgewood. Cross over the dam and use the trail to get you near gz. Container is 3x12 inch tube.
The High Ledge iron mine operated apx from 1880-1883 and yealed 1120 tons of iron ore. The adit or horizontal tunnel goes about 100 feet turning right and conecting to the main vertical shaft that is flooded to the adit level and then rises 40 feet to the opening on the hill above. The adit may have a shallow water level on the floor or may be dry in times of drought. The cache is "outside" the mine enterance and is within trail sight so PLEASE check for muggles and rehide to fully conciel, as container is close to mine. Great historical location. Treequest
