Geocache Description:

An adventurous cache for the motivated in an interesting spot. It's not too high and you probably won't be dry. With some planning, effort, a good group and the luck of the weather, it should be fun.

Requires some equipment; a boat (canoe, kayak, waders, or for some....Speedo-s); climbing stuff and a bit of ingenuity. We placed it with the Raritan River at Manville gage reading 4.6 ft. and should still be doable just above 5'. Hard to believe that the highest recorded water mark for this gage was just over 27' on Sept 16, 1999, at which point, the cache would be well under water.

Don't forget to check out near-by cache Fluvial Erosion

You can get near ground zero via a short paddle with easy river access from Raritan, then downstream to Manville, a 3 mile-ish trip. Or, put-in near the Somerville 206 bridge (harder river access) and .3 mile paddle up to the cache and back.
