Geocache Description:

A cache with some stuff for Kids! But beware, the area is very challenging and may not be suitable for some cachers (esp. younger ones)

Update: 1/27/02: Some feedback has been that this area might be a bit rugged for younger cachers. Other feedback has been positive. Please dont feel obligated to hunt for this cache if you feel the cache area is to challenging for younger members. We definately dont want to see anyone hurt or injured. Use your judgement. My 3 sons hid this cache (12,10 and 7) and they enjoyed the location. Hid by kids, with kids stuff inside (hence the name they chose). The area has a lot of large rocks.

Update: 2/4/03: Do to a recent injury due to the ruggedness of terrian, I have upped the terrian rating for this cache. I also reiterate, DONT look for this cache if the you feel the area is to challenging to negoiate. Team Narf decided to change the name of the cache enlight of the posts.

Team Narf and Magoo placed this cache in the Sourland Mountain Preserve.
There are 2 other caches hidden here ( Sour Land Scramble & Balls of Fire ) so make sure you bring the cache sheets for them as well if you have the time.
This cache is certainly the closest to the parking lot to find of the 3 (about a 10-15 min walk). Park in the only lot and proceed to the trailhead. You may want to stop and pick up a Trailmap at the kiosk. When you get to the second bridge your getting near the place we left the trail. The cache has mostly stuff for Kids, Pokemon Cards, hotwheels cars, a key chain, a music pen, some other toys too. Magoo added a Heat Sink for a CPU and a geocaching.com label/hat pin in case some non-kids want something.
Also added 8 Where's Tom Dollars, a Orange Geochip (courtesy of Orange), a Lanyard and a small pocket knife. The cache is a camo'd ammo box. GPS'r reception is skiddish at best here (only 6-7 Sats with 17 feet of accuracy - we averaged 5 waypoints). If the first few finders can verify the coordinates, well update the main 'tudes with better ones. Also let us know if you think the ratings are appropriate.

When we placed this cache, we also placed two travel bugs inside. Team Narf and Magoo are having a cross country race, so help out if you can!
Here are the pages for the 2 TB's that are racing Team Narf Cycle & Magoo Mobile.
