Post Ford is a shallow point in the Passaic River near Garfield, NJ
that the Hessian troops first used to ambush Washington's army who
camped nearby. After that, the spot was used frequently by both
armies as a crossing point on the Passaic River. In 1935 a local
school principal stirred up a cause for a monument, which is now
erected at the edge of the park on the corner of River Dr. and
Campbell Ave. not far from the cache location. This cache will
bring you on a similar voyage that the troops might have taken back
in 1776.
The cache itself is a small lock-n-lock located in the park. As
the are muggles all around, PLEASE return the cache exactly as you
found it, or in a more secluded hiding spot nearby. Be as stealthy
as possible when retrieving the cache. Thank you and happy
caching.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT PACKANACK'S
NEARBY CACHE from the park area! There is a homeless encampment
on the trail(s) between them, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to go
there. This cache is not nearby to the camp, but watch out for a
blue tarp tent!
Park at the listed coordinates and while you're here check out
