The cache is located between Willowwood Arboretum and Bamboo Brook, Chester Township, New Jersey. Both areas are part of the Morris County park system.
Upon entering Willowwood, follow the access road to the end for parking.
This is a relatively easy, mostly flat terrain hike.
Make sure you visit the arboretum for a great display of flowering plants.
There are trails not only out in the fields but also behind the administration house.
From the parking lot, the traditional cache is about a half mile away down the
red and blue trail towards Bamboo Brook. I used averaging so the GPS coordinates
should be accurate. Staying on the trails will make your quest easier.
It is a plastic watertight fishing container that uses three locking tabs making a tight seal. The cache contains a variety of items and also a travel bug.
FIRST ONE TO FIND, A SPECIAL ITEM AWAITS YOU.
Enjoy the park and please sign the log.
Willowwood Arboretum, 130 acres of rolling farm land, has about 3,500 kinds of native and exotic plants, many of them rare. Both wild and cultivated plantings can be seen on self-guiding tours. In addition to undisturbed forest, historic collections include oak, maple, willow, magnolia, lilac, cherry, fir, pine, a superb specimen of Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia) now more than 98 feet tall, masses of ferns and handsome stands of field and forest wild flowers.
