Gno-man's Land Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Creaky Joints: Gno-man's life has been hard up here and it finally came to a grim end (see jeeper32's pix on 5.7.11). I have decided to archive the cache rather than replace it. The remnants have been removed and the area is now open to others. I had intentions of placing a couple of new ones up here but that's not gonna happen now. Thanks to all who came out to find this one... Creaky Joints.

Geocache Description:

Another one located in Allamuchy Mountain State Park, up near the top. Hunting is permitted here, please take proper precautions during the various seasons. No hunting is allowed on Sunday.

Not far (~230') off the Yellow trail (Pebble Loop), the best approach is to park at the Waterloo Village end of the Highlands Trail (coords below). Pick up the HT (Teal Diamond) at the North end of the field and follow the directions given in 'Rock Garden' (GC17GPJ). As of the date of this listing, there were 6 other caches to be had using this approach. The area up top is open woodland with moderate elevation changes. Any bushwhacking needed is a snap.

Alternatively, you can park at the Sussex Branch Trailhead (coords below), follow the White trail to the Yellow trail, and grab 2 more caches for the day. Unless you've got good hips and knees, this can be a tiring round-trip. What I've done several times is to park at the SBT and get shuttled over to Waterloo Village. Once you get up past 'Phew!', it's not a bad one-way hike, and it's all downhill coming out!

You're looking for a black Lock & Lock container with internal dimensions of about 8Lx5.5Wx2.25D. Besides a logbook, pen, pencils and GeoCache notice, the original contents are: carabiner, slinky jr, lacquered address book, golf tees, SpongeBob figure, heart-topped letter opener, Cabela's token, skull and a FTF prize.

Please replace the container exactly as found, and please don't post any spoiler pictures or text, thanks! Good luck, cache safe and have fun!
