I'm not longer active in Geocaching, and no longer live in NJ, this was one that I couldn't adopt out when I moved. Will keep it active as long as it keeps getting reported found and in good shape. If reported as needing maintenance, it will be removed and archived next time I'm in New Jersey (I'm only in MD and do get up there regularly enough). Please message me if you have an interest in adopting this cache!
Offset Multi Cache in Mill Creek Point.Stage 2 is located along the Secaucus Greenway. While the bridge from Mill Creek Point is closed, please access the Secaucus Greenway via the Farm Road Park.
This is another fantastic new little park in the Meadowlands.
Designed and Constructed by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission, Mill Creek Point is run by the town of Secaucus.
There is a lovely bridge through the marshlands connecting the park to the Secaucus Greenway, there are baseball fields, an area for catch and release fishing (hey, the meadowlands have been cleaned up pretty well but I still wouldn't eat anything out of the Hackensack!) and, most exciting to me, a boat launch! From here you can launch a canoe or a kayak and follow a trail through the meadowlands and nearby (nearer by sea than land!) Mill Creek Park. Water trail maps are available at the environmental center in DeKorte Park.
The coordinates posted will take you to a traffic circle with parking at the end of the road. If the park is crowded, there are earlier parking spots along the road. Within 100 feet of the circle (should be easy) you will find a big white millstone. Answer the questions to find the final cache:
How many alternate names are listed for the town that you are in (including the current one)? The square root of this number is A.
What kind of Beaver is listed? The number of letters in the word preceding Beaver is B.
The millstone was donated in memory of who? The number of letters in his first name minus the number of letters in his last name will give you C.
In all of the writing in the ground around the millstone, how many hyphens are there? This number is D.
The final cache is located at:
40 48.AAB 74 03.CCD
When seeking this cache, please be mindful of muggles and carefully replace the cache as found, well hidden from sight. Thank you.
