Geocache Description:

Camoed nut container in the Chipman Tract, Bridgewater Twp., Somerset County, NJ. DELICATE PLACEMENT: please try to leave the cache in a better state than you found it. Thanks!

For years I've wanted to hide a cache in these woods which lie only blocks from my home.  "Twisted Chipman" with its complicated five stages has frustrated my intentions, since I haven't found stage two and therefore had trouble knowing where I could hide without butting up against the other waypoints.  Twice I tried and twice I failed to place a hide that met the distance requirements.  Enter TeamKrally!  Bob gave me a good idea where the other four stages were so I could avoid them.  Hence this one wouldn't be possible without Bob.

The cache itself involves a concept that I haven't seen before.  It probably will need some tweaking, depending how the first few finders do.  The difficulty level reflects both the novelty of the deception and the "in process" nature of the concept.  The terrain rating reflects the twisting, unmarked trail system that will make it quite hard to find the trail that leads to GZ.  But do park at the listed waypoint; it's the best starting point.  And if you have a little masochism in you, try "Twisted Chipman" while you're there!

Initial swag is limited to a keychain light.

Enjoy and God bless.

 Congrats to our FTF duo who made the find with a little help from the weather and also to, who else, Bob K and the girls from Team Krally who were first to find the cache in it's intended condition. Way to go!
