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 hidden in a small park in Hampton. This park is used for recreational activities but also has a historical mark. There is a sign in the park that tells the story of a Lenape village called Pelouesse that was identified in 1715 across the Musconetcong River from Hampton, New Jersey. Nearly 15 acres of burned clearing were used by the Lenape as a plantation. Corn, beans, and squash were planted in the fertile soil. The village was located along the river which provided drinking water and fish. Hunting of deer, turkey, bear and other game provided meat to supplement the crops, skins for clothing, fur for robes, and bones for tools. The park is open dawn to dusk. BYOP & log extraction tool. See my replacement note for updated coords.
