Located on the Lenape trail near the border of Morris and Essex county, this cache is named after the Green Man, Spirit of Nature. Each stage is a medallion in his likeness. From the earliest times the ancient pattern of planting, growth and harvest was supported by rituals and charms designed to ensure the yearly cycle continued. One of these representatives of the natural world was the Green Man, who can be seen to represent humankind's connection with the earth.
Coordinates lead to the first Green Man medallion. There are a total of three. His back has coordinates to the next stage. (view picture below). No stage is more than 15 feet from the trail. No large rivers or busy roads to cross! Fourth stage is an ammo can with various goodies, including the Green Man logbook, a pen and a camera. Please photograph your group find! Parking is available at: N40 49.363 W74 19.644. The trailhead starts at: N40 49.364 W74 19.668 (donot cross the road!) and is clearly marked by a post. Please replace medallions and the ammo can carefully to ensure the cache survives.
