Central Jersey Checkpoint Challenge
Checkpoint
ZULU
This leg of the challenge will take you to the western part of
Central Jersey, specifically the Zega-Lockatong Preserve area of
the Wescott Nature Preserve in Delaware Township.
This is a public natural area owned and managed by the Hunterdon
Land Trust Alliance. The preserve is primarily wooded with a small,
open field along Raven-Rock Road. It is located just west of the
historic iron truss bridge crossing the Lockatong Creek, on the
north side of the road.
Park at N 40 24.965 W 075 01.096 and follow Mimi’s Trail,
designated by red diamond markings. This lovely trail descends
through hardwood forest to follow Lockatong creek.
You are searching for a 6x8" Lock-n-Lock container. This is not
a difficult find; we figured if you drove all the way out to
extreme western NJ for the Checkpoint Challenge, we would go easy
on you! We highly recommend that you continue on down the trail
after finding the cache as the area offers some stunning
vistas.
In order to claim 1 of the 27 CeNeJeGeCa coins that will be
available at the Central Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NJAZ) you
MUST include a picture of your signature from EACH of the 26
checkpoint log books in your log on the Central Jersey Checkpoint
Challenge cache.

Information
Central Jersey Geocachers are sponsoring the Central Jersey
Checkpoint Challenge series. This challenge series is intended to
take geocachers on a tour of Central New Jersey (loosely defined as
north of 195 and south of 78) while finding caches placed by
Central Jersey geocachers. On the tour we hope you will find
Central Jersey an interesting and beautiful part of our great
state.
This challenge series includes 26 checkpoint caches (naming
based on the NATO phonetic alphabet) and the final -
Central Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NJAZ). The 26
checkpoints do not have to be completed in any particular order.
See the CJCheckpoint bookmark for the complete list of caches.
Hidden within the 26 checkpoint caches are numbers to be used to
calculate the coordinates of the final Central 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
Central Jersey Checkpoint Challenge cache. Complete information can
be found on the Central Jersey Checkpoint Challenge cache page.
Happy caching and enjoy the Central Jersey Checkpoint
Challenge!!!
