Geocache Description:

Zoo,Very Kid friendly

The posted coordinates will take you to stage one where you will find the coordinates in a date on a plaque. Stage 2, 3 & 4 are in plain sight . Stage 5 is magnetic. Stage 6 is a plaque with a date. The final is a camo container. Stage 1 will get you on your way.
Caches are in New Jersey's first zoo; in the community of Bridgeton since 1934. There are white tigers, lots of ducks to feed, monkeys, and a walk through aviary in the spring/summer. Still free with hours 9-5pm. You can find parking at the zoo's parking lot.
The first stage is only 30 to 40 feet in the gate. 1 - 5 stages will take you in the walking loop inside the zoo. Stages 6 &7 are just outside the gate near an old Bridgeton landmark.

W 75' 14. D E F

A= first digit of the year
B= the # of the month - 1
C= the day of the month -4
D= second digit of the year
E= the same as "A" above
F= the same as "B" above

Stage 6:
N 39’ 26. A B C
W 75’ 14. D E F

B= the # of the month
