Coordinates

there have been reports of coordinates not being exact. If you find the cache please post the coordinates in the log you add so we can pinpoint better coordinates over time. Thank you.

EXTREME STEALTH REQUIRED!

IMPORTANT:This cache has been muggled (taken) 4 times in just a few months! Exercise extreme stealth when finding and hiding! This has been changed (2017-10-21) to a magnetic nano cache. Do not open unless you know how to roll the log of a nano cache tight enough to put it back together! Please roll up the log and place in the cap first, then screw the cap on tight. Do not lose the "O" ring seal. Please log a picture too if you like! We have written permission from the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting for this cache!

I want to keep it here in this park since this park (Founder's Park) is the place where Ocean Grove began.

Ocean Grove Founder's Park is the birthplace of Ocean Grove! It all started here in a tent!

This cache is only a few blocks from the Atlantic Ocean ain Ocean Grove New Jersey which is nicknamed "God's Square Mile." For this reason we are suggesting swag that fits with the themes of Christian Faith, Ocean Grove, and the beach, but that is optional. 

please place cache back and cover in a similar fashion

You can sit on a bench here and enjoy the view of the park and watch the passersby! You can see some of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Cottages at the South side of the park. On the North you will see Wesley Lake which borders Ocean Grove and Asbury Park to the North. Asbury Park is named after Francis Asbury who was another person involved in the founding of Methodism which is the Protestant belief that Ocean Grove's founders where part of.

Take a walk in this historic town, enjoy the music, the simplicity, the people and attend the many programs for people of all ages.

This is a favorite place of ours where we visit very often. Please make yourself at home! Relax and be renewed. 

Permission was obtained from the president and current CAO of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association. Please place it back in its place so others can have fun finding it!
