Finally I took an opportunity to hide the type of cache I like to find!
Located in a Wildlife Management Area, this find provides an excellent opportunity to see a wide variety of flora and fauna during your hike. Please be sure to wear bright colors during hunting season (I inadvertently placed this cache on the final day of deer season and was surprised when returning to my car to see camouflaged men with guns).
The Black River (also called the Black-Lamington) is only about 12 miles long and starts slightly north of here near the intersection of Sussex Tpk and Route 10. It meanders south, passing through the WMA and stretches out in a marsh, several hundred yards wide in some areas. The wildlife being managed here includes geese, duck, beaver, bear, fox, and lynx. As the river leaves the WMA south near Chester, it picks up speed heads towards the falls and hemlock groves of Hacklebarney State Park and eventually empties into the north branch of the Raritan river.
GPS reception may be less than optimal due to the terrain but you should be able to stay dry. I’d recommend noting your location occasionally to ensure you can return to your car without crossing private property. Cache is a camouflaged ammo can.
