Couldn't put the cache directly at Black Rock because Sterling
Forest is not very geocaching friendly. The cache is only about 40
feet from the NY/NJ border. There is also a pretty nice view if you
climb the boulder that the cache is hidden under.
The area is an interesting one, with numerous erratics and
balanced rocks.
Terrain depends on the approach. The rating assumes an approach
from the south which seems to be the most popular one on the NJ1K
website. Knock off a star if approaching from the north. For the
northern approach park at the Blue Lake parking area on Long Meadow
Rd. The approach from the south can be from Long Pond Ironworks or
Ringwood Manor SP.
