Nighttime caching experience in northern NJ.
Inspired by Night Vision (by Marty621) - this is my first foray into placing a cache that is findable at night. Daytime seekers may be lucky, but for the full experience - seek this cache after dark!
The trouble with a cache of this type is that you want enough privacy to use a flashlight without having to worry about explaining geocaching to the authorities. That said, once you make it to the cache site - you'll be unfettered by nosy neighbors. Getting there, however, is half the fun!
This place can be creepy in the daytime - at night...well, you be the judge.
Head to the location specified after dark - I'd recommend staying to the main trails/roadway for the easiest approach (bushwacking isn't recommended until you reach the posted coordinates). Once there - shine your light in a 360 degree sweep to spot the reflectorized trail. Be forewarned - there are decoy reflectors nearby - but only the trail will lead you to the cache. So make sure to follow the path to locate the prize - if you seem to have reached a dead end - turn around and try again.
While it can be a wet area (as seekers of the nearby "Unfinished Business" cache can attest to), this cache can be found without getting your sneakers wet (so if you're swimming or using a canoe - you're in the wrong spot!).
At the final location - look for the three closely spaced reflectors and find the cache within a foot. Cache is an ammo container and can be reached without getting your feet wet!
This cache is kid friendly. At no time should you feel unsafe while seeking this cache - it's a relatively easy find and should hopefully provide some laughs (as well as some goosbumps!).
If you use the parking clue - please just park and follow the path into the woods without much fuss. Parking hint is in a quiet residential dead-end so please be discrete. Once you're in the woods - you can hoot and holler to your hearts content!
Enjoy!
