Geocache Description:

Multicache in an oasis of green near Sunrise Lake.

Think you're smart? Enjoy a nice stroll? You'll enjoy this cache.

Some of the coordinates are wrong. Well, not wrong exactly, they're in the area, but they don't get you to any cache I've hidden.

The correct coordinates are available, however, but you need a bit of smarts (or luck) to find the cache directly. At each stage, there is a question. Three possible answers to the question are listed - each with coordinates. Two answers are wrong - one's right. Pick the right answers - get the right coordinates. Sounds easy, right?

This area, partially situated along Patriot's Path in Morris County is popular with mountain bikers, dog walkers, and fisherman. Great spot to hike with the kids or to bring your bike - leave some time for this cache as it's not a drive and dump. Terrain rating is based on using the available trails for most of the trek.

The stages are relatively small (pint-size to be exact) and are clear so do NOT need to be opened to read the clues or coordinates. I'd recommend you write down all the coordinates listed in case your answer is incorrect (and you can try the other coordinates - to keep this fun, it's not a far walk between options). At the end of this walk is a 30MM ammo box stashed far enough from the trail to provide plenty of privacy to log and trade without detection.

Suggested parking at N40 47.342 W74 32.762. There is no need to intrude on any private propery to retrieve this cache. As an added bonus, I found the GPS reception to be skittish in some areas.

Please word your logs carefully to ensure the questions remain a surprise to future seekers. Enjoy the hunt!
