Dizz-Knee Challenge Part XIX NJ State Map

Collect Your County Cache


This is the nineteenth in a series of twenty-one caches that will be placed in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties. This one completes the Essex County requirement. This cache is hidden in the somewhat rocky and very lush Cedar Grove Community Park in Cedar Grove. A certain number of people completing the Dizz-Knee Challenge will be given a new, commemorative geocaching coin, trackable on geocaching.com, unactivated.

Welcome to Cedar Grove Community Park

Welcome to Cedar Grove Community Park

I tried, without success, to get information about the park icluding the trail system and acreage information. There is nothing on-line except some lot information at the Green Acres database. I called the recreation department, the parks department and the engineering department and they had no idea either. I love it when a town is familar about their own parks (sarcastic). I can tell you this: there is a couple main trails. There are a lot of rocks and some elevation changes. There are several species of trees. There are thorny bushes and some ivy. There is a wet area in the middle with reeds and whatnot growing out if it. There are 4 or 5 caches in the immediate area of the park. The park also boasts playing fields and a community pool.

County Cache Facts: There is no bushwacking but there is minor rock-whacking. The terrain is slightly rocky and if you are bringing little ones (and please do), it is advisible to walk ahead and just scope out the area although I think it is pretty safe. The terrain for this particular cache is flat with a few broken limbs and trees scattered about the general area.. Please exercise caution and be careful. When I placed the cache there was an abundance of deer. You will have to leave the trail to find the cache but it is a pretty open area so it is not difficult. There is a decent-sized parking area and of course, my mandatory Green Acres sign (I love those places). THE PARK IS ONLY OPEN DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. Overall, this is a very beautiful and rocky place, with some watery areas. The cache is 186 feet from the parking area.

.
The readings I took had a 25-foot degree of accuracy/error. The cache is between a fallen tree(s). There was a "v" shape from the fallen lumber so I placed it there (at the vertex) and piled rocks on top of it. PLEASE return the cache exactly where you found it. Please do not move it to a different spot in ground zero; please.
