Big Bird 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This cache has been archived.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.

Big Bird

A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word . . .

     The first time we hiked this trail, my Dad & I saw a huge bird. It appeared to be about 2 1/2 feet tall, and pure black. The wingspan looked to be about almost 4 feet as it gracefully took to the sky with about 3 or 4 wing flaps taking it from the ground to over the treetops. We were unable to see the neck area of the bird before it flew off, but based on the info we could find, we believe it to be a Kite. Being a territorial bird, there is a chance someone else may see it in this area. Please share any pictures and information.

The cache is a Lock & Lock filled with assorted trinkets, a log book & a pencil.
Please replace the cache exactly as you found it.
