Welcome to
Frank G. Helyar Forest in New Brunswick, NJ. This cache will
fulfill your “OSCAR”
requirement for the
Central Jersey Checkpoint Challenge.
This cache is a small Lock and Lock located in the Forest
section of the Rutgar's Gardens. It is full of small goodies but
mostly it starts off with Cancer Awareness Items. The cache is a
short walk from the parking lot, but your actual distance may vary
depending on whether you attempt the other great caches hidden
within the forest.

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
