Geocache Description:


This is an easy field puzzle/two stage multi!

The coordinates will bring you to an informational sign where you have to answer some simple questions to get the coordinates to the final cache.

You are at the top corner of the Abott Marshlands, a freshwater tidal marsh that stretches along the bluffs from Trenton to Bordentown along the Delaware River and covers about 3000 acres. Take some time to enjoy the scenery and wildlife on the numerous trails, but don't get caught too far out when the tide comes back in (not usually a problem if you don't cross the rickety bridge) This is a nature preserve, the caches are close to the trail and should not require much bush wacking.

There are several beavers living in this part of Spring Lake. Their activity is clearly visible along the path. Some larger trees are protected with chicken wire so they won't become beaver fodder.

To find the cache please answer the following questions: N 40 11.ABC, W 074 44.DEF

A: How many beavers and otters are in the bottom right picture?

B: How many snakes are depicted on the sign?

C: How many words does the headline on the right have?

D: Look behind you to the narrow part of the lake: How many beaver lodges do you see?

E: At what age do most beavers start mating?

F: How many main predators do beavers have?

This is a daytime cache only. Please practice cache in, trash out.
