Geocache Description:

Olympia Lakes were formed at the turn of the 20th century when workers building the Philadelphia subway system pumped sand and dirt out of the ground and into rail cars or boats docked on nearby Rancocas Creek. The resulting two pits filled with water, and between 1938 and 1976 the area was a commercial recreation spot. In 1996 the area was purchased as a nature preserve. Info shamelesssly stolen from a nearby cache page. Bring the dogs - they can swim and run off leash here.

Park at entrance and take path to your LEFT. If you try to follow the path to the right, you will end up on private property before you get to the cache. Please cover well, I've made this an easy find!

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!!!
