The Path Less Traveled Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: From the Northern Region Office, New Jersey State Parks Department:


Over a year ago New Jersey enacted a policy that all geocachers must obtain a permit to have their cache on State Park property. We have informed all geocaching host that this is their responsibility and have given them ample time to go about getting their permits. At this time, over a year later, there are still several caches that haven’t complied.

We ask that as the land managers for the attached properties we would like to have these illegal caches removed.


Based on the list provided by the state, I am forced to archive this listing. If you have a permit, get a permit or don't believe your cache is on state park/forest land, please contact me via email. Make sure you include the GC code.

Geocache Description:

This is a three stage Multi in Hewitt State Forest (NYNJTC map 116) and my 50th hide :)

This cache will take you along a ridge in Hewitt that not many people see. It's quite beautiful, but unfortunately there is no official trail. It's not too tough a walk though, with mostly exposed rock with several hunting trails all around. You'll encounter a bit of overgrowth but for the most part, it may as well be a trail.

At the posted coordinates you will find stage 1. There will be an easy puzzle for you to solve at stage 2, please don't write the coordinates in the box, or take anything out of the box (you'll see why when you get there) ;) and please try to keep it dry! The final is a Lock-N-Lock.
