Dizz-Knee Challenge Part IV 
Collect Your
County Cache
This is the fourth in a series of twenty-one
caches that will be placed in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties.
This one completes the
Ocean County
requirement. This cache is located in Lacey and Berkeley Townships'
beautiful
Double Trouble State
Park. Rather than tell you about the park, I would
prefer you go to the link found at the end of the previous
paragraph to investigate all the information needed for caching in
Double Trouble. 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 Double Trouble State Park
I must give a special thank you to
Arrow One. This
cacher is the reason that I found out about Double Trouble State
Park. Click her name to see all her nearby caches. I was looking
for new caches to find and found a huge cluster all in the same
area by the same cacher.
Update March 22, 2008
Please be advised that vehicles are not
permitted to drive in and park ANYWHERE NEAR THE CACHE!!
As
posted, vehicles are not permitted beyond the parking lot. The
historic village area, including the reservoir and dam, are gated
and posted closed to motor vehicles. Also, it is very dangerous to
walk over the spillway, as some days there are several inches of
water rushing over it. Therefore, please be advised that you may
need to seek an alternate route to the cache that does not include
walking over the spillway.
There was recently a car that followed my original directions,
and almost hit a family walking on the service road to the
reservoir. I do sincerely apologize for directing cars to drive
back there whereas I should have paid more attention to the signs.
I am of course not admitting guilt, as each cacher accepts
responsibility for their own actions which is why you should
never fully trust what is written and always be
prepared!
So, I am officially updating my geocaching site to reflect the
wishes of Andrew Anderson, Resource Interpretive Specialist @
Double Trouble State Park (and rightly so) to instruct people to
park at the parking area and walk back to the reservoir. Once
again, PARK AT THR PARKING AREA.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Cache
Facts:
If you come in from Dam, I'm in
Double Trouble, walk forward on the
road/trail and the cache is .27 miles from a nice parking spot
located at 39 53.987 74 13.777. You can also choose to go over
the dam in your car (see pic) and down the narrow trail where
you will encounter many piney stripes, thick branches sticking
out and deep, deep, deep water (see pic) in which we almost got
stuck. You could probably drive in a little bit safely and cut
your walk time in half. The aforementioned cache is exactly 166
feet from the suggested parking area. Concerning Escape to Cache
Mountain (this cache), it is possible to park 8 feet from
it. .

.....Stupid html..I can never get it to work
correctly so I have to put this in here to make spaces and then
color it white so no one is the wiser.
