Den 5 Ticks Alive Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: From the Northern Region Office, New Jersey State Parks Department:


Over a year ago New Jersey enacted a policy that all geocachers must obtain a permit to have their cache on State Park property. We have informed all geocaching host that this is their responsibility and have given them ample time to go about getting their permits. At this time, over a year later, there are still several caches that haven’t complied.

We ask that as the land managers for the attached properties we would like to have these illegal caches removed.


Based on the list provided by the state, I am forced to archive this listing. If you have a permit, get a permit or don't believe your cache is on state park/forest land, please contact me via email. Make sure you include the GC code.

If you don't plan to get a permit, please remove your geocache so it doesn't become geo-trash.

Geocache Description:

1.5 mile (or so) round-trip hike from recommended parking on well marked trails with mild changes in elevation. Gradual uphill to GZ.

4 cub scouts and their families from Den 5, Pack 148 in Independence, NJ set out for a nature walk and decided to hide a cache in the Deer Park section of Allamuchy State Park. The ammo box is about 30 feet from the trail. Try to resist the urge to bushwhack. This is a great park for mountain biking and horseback riding. Plan carefully and you can do all of the caches in this section of the park in a nice loop.

Oh yeah...the name. Collectively, we must have pulled about 50 ticks from all of our warm bodies (including one large dog). Another appropriate name for this cache would have been "Deer Tick Park." Check yourselves carefully.

7-20-09 NOTE: It appears as if we cleared out the ticks for you all. 4 finds and none to report. Go get it!
