Stuyvesant-Rutherford Cache 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This cache has been archived.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.

Geocache Description:

This is one of my favorite weird NJ spots to visit, kind of creepy in the day, wont go there at night, you can read more about this place below.

This is one of my favorite weird NJ spots to visit, kind of creepy in the day, wont go there at night, you can read more about this place below.

Rutherfurd Stuyvesant, a descendant of Peter Stuyvesant, Dutch governor of New York bought most of the farms at the turn of the twentieth century, increasing his ancestral estate, called Tranquility Farms, to 5,000 acres. He established Deer Park, a 1,000 acre private game preserve on Allamuchy Mountain, introduced the English pheasant to America and reintroduced deer to his preserve. Fencing surrounded the entire area, sections of which can still be found today. In 1941, Clendenin J. Ryan purchased the estate, adding property in Sussex and Warren counties. In the late 1960s, the state bought land for Interstate Route 80, splitting the estate in two, and later purchased the Allamuchy Mountain sections of the estate.

The place you are going to has about 6 abandoned building/homes, this is a fun place to explore and wonder what it was like in its heyday. When you are here you are on state park land, this is a great place to go hiking.

Park down by the gate on Stuyvesant Rd in Tranquility, plenty of parking, then hike up the carriage path till you see the house, then hike up the hill.

The container is a clear canister type thing, enough room for tradables, with a log and a pen, you will probably need to read the hint to find.
