North Jersey Checkpoint Challenge
Final
The cache is not at the posted
coordinates.
This challenge series is intended to take geocachers on a tour
of Northern New Jersey (loosely defined as north of Interstate 78)
while finding caches placed by members of the Northern New Jersey
Cachers (NNJC). On the tour, we hope you will find Northern New
Jersey an interesting and beautiful part of our great state…read on
for details.
Hidden around North Jersey are 26 checkpoint caches. Cache names
are based on a phonetic alphabet using mountain names since North
Jersey is the mountainous region of the state. To complete the
challenge you must visit and log each of the 26 checkpoint caches.
The 26 checkpoints do not have to be completed in any particular
order and have no special logging requirements. However, you must
adhere to posted park hours - after hours caching is not
permitted.
Hidden within the 26 checkpoint caches are the numbers to be
used to determine the coordinates to the North Jersey Checkpoint
Challenge cache and parking.
Challenge cache: North 40 CH.ECK, West 074
PO.INT
Note: The 1st C in CHECK is designated C1 and the 2nd C is
designated C2.
Parking: From the solution coordinates, N
+0.136, W +0.281
FTF gets a $20.00 Fuddruckers gift card (it is not in the cache
- mblatch has it).
Requirements to log this cache:
1.) You must have first visited all 26 checkpoint caches,
regardless if you are able to assemble the full final coordinates
beforehand.
2.) You must include in the log for this cache the dates you found
each of the checkpoint caches: e.g Aconcagua – 5/12/09, Blanc –
5/14/09, etc.
Checksum = 65 for the full final coordinates.
Please contact mblatch if you have any questions regarding this
challenge.
Happy caching, and enjoy the North Jersey Checkpoint
Challenge!!!
