Harm Me Not Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no response to my earlier post, I'm archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact me (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Two part cache - starting at the Morris County Great Swamp Education Center. Easy hike through the wildlife preserve.

This is a two part cache which can be reached with minimal bushwacking (just remember, the straightest path may not necessarily be the easiest). Relatively easy hike - certainly recommended for kids.

Park at the Morris County Great Swamp Outdoor Education Center on Southern Blvd in Chatham (do not attempt this cache from any other parking area). See this link for additional info on the center: (visit link)

Proceed to sign @ N 40.43.506 W 074.25.145 and pray (or reflect if you prefer).

As you are reading the sign, calculate the following three values:

A = Count the number of letters in the title (spaces don’t count) , then divide that number by 8
B = How many times does the phrase “I AM” appear?
C = How many times does the word “YOUR” appear?

The actual cache can be found at N 40.43.ACA W 074.25.BAC (replace A, B, C with the values you calculated above).

The cache is a camouflaged 50mm ammo box.

I would recommend starting out on the boardwalk and keep a sharp eye out for wildlife! Definitely stop into the education center and take a look at some of the exhibits.
