Geocache Description:

Named as one of New Jersey top ten most beautiful towns, Chester is worth a visit for the scenic main street. This multi will give you a chance to have a stroll and enjoy the atmosphere. And then you will have a little hunt at the end.

Chester in New Jersey is a historic town which used to be a popular escape destination for New Yorkers looking to get away from the hectic pace of the city. Surrounded by some scenic walks, and remains of old ironworks, it can make a fascinating day out. But the main street is what has really attracted people over the years. In 2016 it was named one of the top ten most beautiful towns in New Jersey. The co-ordinates get you to the main street. From there you will have to do a bit of work.

On release the cache contains a FTF goody bag (comprising of certificate, winners medal, sigitem, lucky charm and a geocoin), sigitem, badge, keyring, compass, and small trinkets.
