Geocache Description:


There is a lot of rock that looks like the name of Fred Flintstone's boss, who was a bit of a crabby person.  I was hiking the loop from P2 and I came upon this site which is neat looking. If you see tree shaped like a backwards L, keep walking and it is ahead and to the right a little way.  The cache itself is in a crevice on the ground, where there is a moss covered rock on the left and sticks in the crevice covering the cache and about 4 large branches next to the crevice.  Be careful stepping near the cache because there are a lot of rock and spots covered by leaves. 

**There is a lot of GPS bounce in this area. I went today because the previous cachers had trouble finding it and as I was standing right next to the cache, the GPS said 50 ft away. After a few minutes, it went to 3ft.  So, I uploaded 2 photos in the gallery: 1 shows where you walk to the right of the trail and 2 shows you the rock formation where the cache is. **

As you walk from trail through the mountain laurel, you will come to a very large rock formation with a dark rock overhang and two large rock underneath it. One rock is almost twice the size of the other one. When you get to the cache, you will may feel a cool breeze which is pretty neat. The cache is in the Newark Watershed, so you need a permit to hike here. You can get the permit from the Echo Lake office.
