Geocache Description:

The thirty eighth in the Grumpy Dolphin Series.
Located in the Berkshire Valley Wildlife Management Area.

Finley was doing his homework on the computer. Or so I thought!
Finley was supposed to be doing a report on the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife. Or so I thought!
"Uncle Harry", asked Finley. "What is this bookmarked list of archived geocaches?"
"When I started geocaching, several years ago, there were many interesting caches that I put on a bookmark list. They sounded like interesting caches to find. But many of them were archived before I could find them."
"Ah. This one sounds very interesting. Berkshire's Bountiful Booty (Redux) by The Artful Dodger. He says that the area is very popular with anglers during the summer months."
I could see Finley's eyes light up. Finley loves fish!
"He even had this cute fishing picture!"

"Let's check it out, Uncle Harry!"
"Okay, Finley. But you are aware that it is a WMA, and hunting is permitted?"
"Yes, Uncle Harry. I shall wear blaze orange. We can park at the listed coords for your silly 'In Sync Mini Park' cache: N 40° 55.640 W 074° 36.436."
"Yes, Finley."
And, so, we set out. We had a pleasant hike in. As The Artful Dodger promised, it is a beautiful area.
"I shall hide cache here, Uncle Harry. Since the area does see flooding, I hope that all finders will wedge the cache back properly."
Ah, my nephew, Finley, is a Fish Aficianado, if ever there were one!
