South Jersey Checkpoint Challenge
Checkpoint Greenbrier
Welcome to Wiggins Park & Marina on the Waterfront in Camden, NJ
This cache will fulfill the “Greenbrier” requirement for the South Jersey Checkpoint Challenge
The Dr. Ulysses S. Wiggins Waterfront Park and Marina is located along the Delaware River in Camden, NJ, adjacent to the New Jersey Adventure Aquarium and Children's Garden, the Battleship New Jersey, the Susquehanna Bank Center, and the ferry to Philadelphia. It's located on the site of the old Pennsylvania Railroad Ferry. You can enjoy a beautiful view of the Philadelphia Skyline, or walk along the Camden Waterfront Promenade (which stretches from the Battleship to the Ben Franklin Bridge). The marina is open from April 1 - October 31. This cache is located near the Merchant Marine memorial. Take the time to read the plaques there, then stroll along the Promenade and visit some of the other sites and caches the Camden Waterfront has to offer.
This is a high muggle area - so you may need to be patient!
THE SOUTH JERSEY CHECKPOINT CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ARCHIVED, BUT THIS CACHE CAN STILL BE FOUND. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES ONLY
Official SJCC Information
The South Jersey Geocachers (SJG) are sponsoring the South Jersey Checkpoint Challenge series. This challenge is intended to take geocachers on a tour of Southern New Jersey (loosely defined as south of I-195) while finding caches placed by members of the SJG. On the tour, we hope you will find South Jersey an interesting and beautiful part of our great state.
Scattered around the area are 26 checkpoint caches and a final challenge cache - South Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NJDZ). The names of the individual checkpoint caches are based on a phonetic alphabet using plants to represent the diversity of ecosystems that you will encounter on your tour of Southern New Jersey. You may even run into the infamous Jersey Devil while you're there. The 26 checkpoints do not have to be completed in any particular order. See the SJCheckpoint bookmark for the complete list of caches.
Hidden within the 26 checkpoint caches are numbers to be used in determining the coordinates of the final South Jersey Checkpoint Challenge cache – please be sure to note them while you are there.
While there are no special logging requirements for the 26 checkpoint caches, there are special logging requirements for the final challenge cache. Complete information can be found on the South Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NJDZ) cache page.
Happy caching and enjoy the South Jersey Checkpoint Challenge!!!
