Geocache Description:

Be sure to click on User's Web Page at the top of this listing for more Jersey Devil lore.

If you like to bike and cache, park at the Head of the River Church and ride west on Rt 49 to the first cache. Follow your GPS for the remaining caches. Once you have all four continue back to the Head of the River. If you aren't familiar with the area, take a waypoint at your car before starting out. This should be about a six or seven mile ride.

This slightly demonic hide may prove troublesome. If it does, blame the Jersey Devil, not wigoweb.

The posted coordinates are not the actual coordinates. You can retrieve the actual coords by finding the first three caches in this Jersey Devil Series (just click on nearby caches for links). Once you have the info, fill in the missing coords.

On January 21st, 2008 a man heard a screech and saw a strange creature perched on top of his chicken coop in Eldora. The large winged creature flew off once the man's cell phone rang.

On March 16th of that same year, a woman saw a very large creature with red-orange eyes flying out of the woods while she was driving on the Garden State Parkway near mile 19 in Seaville. She reported that she might have seen the Jersey Devil.

This cache contains a replica of the NJ coin which has an image of the Jersey Devil. We were fortunate to acquire one of these rare coins, and we want to give others the chance to at least "discover" the coin. You can record the number on the coin and discover it if you wish. Please do not take the replica, just copy down the coin's number and use that to record your discovery.

We are going to virtually "drop" the coin into the cache and leave it there so that it appears in the cache listing. You will be able to click on the icon on the cache page to view the coin's history.

Do take precautions while searching. If you hear really strange noises, consider returning to your cache mobile and trying again some other day. Prudent cachers will search for the Jersey Devil along Rt. 666 only in broad daylight.
