Central Jersey Checkpoint Challenge
Checkpoint INDIA
Welcome to Jamesburg
County Park Conservation Area. This cache will fulfill your
“INDIA” requirement
for the Central
Jersey Checkpoint Challenge.
Jamesburg
County Park Conservation Area is the first conservation area
purchased by Middlesex County in the early 1970's. The primary
purpose of the 1479 Acres Conservation Area is to protect the
underground resources of the Old Bridge Sands acquifer. Just as
important is the area's significance as the northernmost outlier of
the New Jersey Pine Barrens, and the flora and fauna habitats it
protects. There are specimens of endangered species within this
preserved open space.
The cache was placed along the shore of Helmetta Pond. The
trails are sandy but easy to navigate. Enjoy the view of the pond
and the different marsh birds that call it home.
See parking coordinates below. There is room for one car at this
location.

Information
Central Jersey Geocachers are sponsoring the Central Jersey
Checkpoint Challenge series. This challenge series is intended to
take geocachers on a tour of Central New Jersey (loosely defined as
north of 195 and south of 78) while finding caches placed by
Central Jersey geocachers. On the tour we hope you will find
Central Jersey an interesting and beautiful part of our great
state.
This challenge series includes 26 checkpoint caches (naming
based on the NATO phonetic alphabet) and the final - Central
Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NJAZ). The 26 checkpoints do
not have to be completed in any particular order. See the
CJCheckpoint bookmark for the complete list of caches.
Hidden within the 26 checkpoint caches are numbers to be used to
calculate the coordinates of the final Central Jersey Checkpoint
Challenge cache – please be sure to note them while you are
there.
While there are no special logging requirements for the 26
checkpoint caches, there are special logging requirements for the
Central Jersey Checkpoint Challenge cache. Complete information can
be found on the Central Jersey Checkpoint Challenge cache page. In
order to claim FTF on the Central
Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NJAZ) or 1 of the additional 26
CeNeJeGeCa coins that will be available you MUST include a picture
of your signature from EACH of the 26 checkpoint log books in your
