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.
