Information
The Northern New Jersey Cachers (NNJC) are sponsoring the North
Jersey Checkpoint Challenge series. This challenge is intended to
take geocachers on a tour of Northern New Jersey (loosely defined
as north of I-78) while finding caches placed by members of the
NNJC. On the tour, we hope you will find North Jersey an
interesting and beautiful part of our great state.
Scattered around the area are 26 checkpoint caches and a final
challenge cache -
North Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NNJC). The names of the
individual checkpoint caches are based on a phonetic alphabet using
mountain names since North Jersey is the mountainous region of the
state. The 26 checkpoints do not have to be completed in any
particular order. See the NJCheckpoint 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 North 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
North Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NNJC) cache page.
Happy caching and enjoy the North Jersey Checkpoint
Challenge!!!
