Cache is about 3' off a paved pathway. You will have to get off the path and step up onto a rocky area. Be careful of the rocks/cement, as it's hard to get a good footing and you could easily fall if you're not careful...you've been warned. From coordinates below, cache is about 1.1 miles there and another 1.1 miles back. Slight inclines, but nothing too strenuous.
The cache is located about 3' off a paved jogging path that I run daily when I stay at my girlfriend's condo in the Hills. This jogging path is quite a nice route for a spring/summer stroll or the like. I'm not entirely certain of the length of the entire path, although I expect it to be approximately 5 miles out and another 5 miles back, but I'm not 100% certain of that; I've only gone so far as to reach the park and baseball fields. If you desire to do the entire path, there's a beautiful stream that runs parallel to it and a nice little pond. The NJ Department of Fish and Wildlife posted a sign on a nearby tree that fishing is allowed at the stream and they do stock it with trout. Check out their website for rules and laws on fishing licenses and trout stamps, etc. (visit link)
There's more than one entrance to the path, but I recommend:
N40 39.473 W074 38.513
There's a day care facility about 100 yards from those coordinates and ground zero is about 1.1 miles from that coordinate. So prepare for about a 2 mile walk/jog/bike ride there and back. The map may list this cache on a highway...DO NOT use that highway to locate this cache! Take the suggested path unless you know of another entrance to the trail.
Beware that there are many muggles jogging, walking or riding a bike at all times of the day, everyday. About 20-30' from GZ, I've even seen people fishing.
This is a microcache with log only. Sorry, but there's no room for any goodies. Please bring a pen or pencil.
