Geocache Description:

The cache is indeed located at the above listed coordinates. How convenient. Oh but wait, there is a task ahead of you. Simply qualify for this challenge, and then seek the final prize. This challenge will take you to each corner of our Garden State.

You only need to find 9 caches in NJ. Not challenging? The devil is in the details...........

There are 3 lines of latitude running through NJ. 39, 40, and 41. There are also 2 lines of longitude running through our fine state. This creates 9 areas of different N and W degrees found on land:

N 38° W 074° (Cape May) (Pretty small area)
N 39° W 074° (South Jersey) (lot of piney hides here)
N 39° W 075° (Salem, Gloucester, Cumberland or Camden County)
N 40° W 073° (Bergen County - East Edge or Monmouth County - East Edge)
N 40° W 074° (Central Jersey) (many to choose from here)
N 40° W 075° (Warren or Hunterdon County - West)
N 41° W 073° (Bergen County - NE Corner) (really small)
N 41° W 074° (Sussex, Passaic, some Bergen area)
N 41° W 075° (Warren County - NW Corner) (another small area)

There are 10 caches types that you can pick from.

Traditional Cache
Multi-Cache (Offset Cache)
Mystery or Puzzle Caches
Letterbox Hybrid
EarthCache
Virtual Cache
Webcam Cache
Wherigo™ Cache
Event Cache
Cache In Trash Out Event


 

The rules? Find one different cache type in each of the 9 grids listed. (using the POSTED COORDINATES FOR EACH HIDE) It can be done, and it has been done. Previous finds count.

Sign the log anytime and work on this at your leasure, but you must qualify before you can claim as found.  User the Project-GC to verify your finds or simply post your 9 cache finds with the GC codes and region in your log

This does not have to be done on one day. Take your time. Enjoy the beaches, mountains, farmland, and cities that NJ has to offer.
All finds must be in NJ to qualify.
Here is a map to help you out.



You choose the cache type to find in each grid. You choose the grid in which to find the cache. It's your choice!
Example: N 38° W 074° Earthcache
N 39° W 074° Cito
N 39° W 075° Unknown
N 40° W 073° Event
N 40° W 074° Whereigo
N 40° W 075° Letterbox
N 41° W 073° Traditional
N 41° W 074° Virtual
N 41° W 075° Multi

This example is one of the many combinations you may choose to qualify for this challenge cache.
