This is the third in the Jersey Devil’s Triangle series of
caches. Myths and legends of the Jersey Devil abound. Though there
have been many reported sightings over the years, no one is really
certain exactly where he can be found. It is believed by some that
certain areas in the pines can experience strange and unexplained
phenomena. The caches in this series form a large triangle, and
it’s inside of that triangle some of the strangest events in
pines have been known to take place. Compasses and other navigation
equipment can suddenly take on a mind of their own leaving the user
to wander aimlessly without guidance. People will sometimes travel
into the triangle and simply vanish off the face of the earth, only
to re-emerge several hours later at some other location, the
victims having no memory of time passing and no idea how they got
to where they are. Some people believe the Jersey Devil himself is
behind these sinister events. Others believe the force causing
these events is what brought the Jersey Devil into being, thereby
making him the triangle’s first and most famous victim.
The area of the pines where this triangle sits is very unique. Its
features look out of place for the area. Who made these features
and why? Was it the Jersey Devil or someone else? The area near
this cache looks just like a landing strip. Witnesses have reported
the Jersey Devil to be a winged creature capable of flight. It is
believed that these strips were put here and are maintained by the
Jersey Devil himself as a sort of makeshift airport, allowing him
secluded open space in which to spread his wings and gain flight.
Those who are pregnant or may become pregnant and those with heart
conditions are cautioned not to attempt these caches at night or
during full moons as there is an increased chance of Jersey Devil
sightings during these times.
This cache is an ammo box with a logbook and trade items. It is a
well-camouflaged typical piney hide. The last 50ft or so will
require some bush whacking. It could be 2WD accessible if
you’re careful and you know your vehicle however due to sugar
sand and some mud 4WD would be recommended. As always in the pines,
wear blaze orange in season be aware of where you step.
