Geocache Description:

A short walk for a new cache along Peters Brook Greenway. Placed during a torrential storm by two intrepid wee-people.

*** THE ORIGINAL CACHE WAS SNATCHED BY HURRICANE IRENE......CHECK OUT PHOTOS FOR THE SCENE THE DAY AFTER IRENE****

Peters Brook is a tributary of the Raritan River that flows south through Bridgewater Township and Somerville, New Jersey in the United States.

Peters Brook is approximately six miles long, beginning near the west side of I-287 and emptying into the Raritan River south of Somerville.

The Brook is named for Peter Van Nest, son of Dutch immigrant Pieter Van Nest. The homestead of the Van Nest family was in nearby Raritan near Glaser Avenue. Peter Van Nest fought in the American Revolutionary War under Jacob Ten Eyck's command.

Somerville recently completed the second phase of improvements to the Peters Brook Greenway, a walking and biking trail that will eventually extend from the Raritan River in Somerville to the Bridgewater-Raritan High School.

The second phase added 3,200 feet to a path along Peters Brook and put a pre-fabricated steel truss bridge over the brook near the NJ Transit railroad tracks. The extension links the Raritan River to the end of Phase 1, which goes from Mountain Avenue to East High Street.

Phase 3 should extend the path the other way from Mountain Avenue to Somerset Shopping Center, crossing Route 202-206 via a pedestrian bridge.

Congrats to Avgraphics for FTF!!
