For my Girl Scout Gold Award Project, I will be placing 27 caches throughout Hunterdon County, NJ. Hunterdon County celebrated its 300th Anniversary in 2014. (The Gold Award is the highest award that can be earned in Girl Scouts).
This series GS GA/TC: (Girl Scout Gold Award/Tri-Centennial), when complete, will consist of Alexandria, Bethlehem, Bloomsbury, Califon, Town of Clinton, Clinton Township, Delaware, East Amwell, Flemington, Franklin, Frenchtown, Glen Gardner, Hampton, High Bridge, Holland, Kingwood, Lambertville, Lebanon Borough, Lebanon Township, Milford, Raritan, Readington, Stockton, Tewksbury, Union, West Amwell and Caching For The Gold. There is no set order or any clues to collect.
The cache is located on Goat Hill Overlook. The cache is a medium size lock-n-lock. Goat Hill climbs 453 ft. above the Delaware River, and provides spectacular views of New Hope, Lambertville, and Bucks/Hunterdon County. This is a fairly easy short hike to the overlook.
At the parking area take the trail up through the brown gates. An interesting spot on your way to the cache, to the left of the trail, is an area called Washington’s Rock. Legend holds that George Washington used the hill to confirm for himself that boats hidden on the Pennsylvania shore could not be seen by British scouts, in preparation for the famous crossing of the Delaware on the eve of the Battle of Trenton. The cache is not in this area.
PLEASE DO NOT POST PICTUES OR SPOILERS OF CACHE CONTAINERS
