This cache is a short bushwhack off of a marked/named trail in
Wawayanda State Park; not listing it by name will add slightly to
the difficulty, provide a better, more-enjoyable experience and
test your caching skills. None of these areas require park access
through the main gate or will be subject to entry fees assessed
during the Memorial Day-Labor Day period. Maps from the park and/or
NY-NJ Trail Conference will be helpful. There are several different
approaches possible as the cache trail intersects with several
others. This cache is hidden in a very nice area, on an almost
level trail (old fire road???). To access the cache, an item/items
must be moved; a small portion of the cache should be visible
without movement.
Please replace the cache as found (brighter
side up).
Satellite reception in the area is good and readings taken were
very accurate; please be aware this may change slightly due to
foliage (or lack thereof), satellite position, time of day,
weather, etc. Still, finding it should not be a problem.
There are other caches in the area as well; plan well and you
should pick up a bunch of smilies on your visit!
Wawayanda State Park is home to numerous varieties of wildlife.
Black bear, coyote, bobcat, beaver and snakes - both venomous and
non-venomous - live here. Having an encounter is certainly a
possibility. Please make yourself aware of what to do should you
have an encounter...so you may enjoy the experience and not fear
it. Take the proper precautions!
*** TICKS CAPABLE OF CARRYING LYME
DISEASE ARE SOMETIMES PRESENT YEAR-ROUND! ***
Please check yourself and others frequently; use of repellent is
suggested.
Wawayanda State Park allows hunting in season.
During hunting season, please be sure to:
play it safe and wear fluorescent hunter orange attire when
caching.
To be completely safe, cache on Sundays when
NJ does not allow any hunting.
Enjoy.
