About SCAVENGER 2022
SCAVENGER 2022: Beyond the Ramanessin is JerseyEric's 2nd annual scavenger hunt, inspired by his participation in the late sofiecat's final annual scavenger hunt, 2012 SJG SCAVENGER HUNT, at Wharton State Forest in Shamong, NJ.
SCAVENGER 2022 focuses on the lower part of the Ramanessin Greenway network of trails (Bayonet Farm to the Greenway Nature Trail near Village School) and beyond -- parks by the Swimming River Reservoir (Cross Farm Park and Lincroft's Thompson Park). The Ramanessin Brook is often named Hop Brook on maps; no one seems to know why.
The annual SCAVENGER series will move to a new area of Monmouth, Middlesex or Ocean County every year . . . just as a coyote travels far to scavenger for food. Results from the SCAVENGER 2021 event are listed on the cache page.
