SRT - The Crossing 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This cache has been archived.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.

Geocache Description:


Called this one the crossing as there are several trails crossing here, as well as a little bridge crossing a stream. If you're following the SRT, be sure to following the greenish trail markers and not the red/green markers. Little secret tho. If you follow the red/green markers north it eventually crosses the SRT again. You'll miss a few of our SRT caches if you do go this route.

Trail Info:
The Shawangunk Ridge Trail provides a hiking opportunity that runs for 35-miles along the length of the ridge from High Point to Minnewaska.

At High Point, it joins the world's longest linear park and greenway, the 2150-mile Appalachian Trail, which runs from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katadin in Maine.

The Long Path, a 300-mile trail from New York City through the Catskills to north of Thatcher State Park near Albany, also joins the Shawangunk Ridge Trail at the Wurtsboro Ridge Forest Preserve.

The Shawangunk Ridge Trail is considered part of the Long Path trail system because of the loop it forms starting from the Long Path - Appalachian Trail junction in Harriman State Park. It is managed as part of the Long Path.
