Geocache Description:


                                                      A story from Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey

111 years ago, on February 5th, 1915, a local woman who lived along the Palisades wrote in her diary: "Mrs. Hopkins telephoned me that Capt. John Jordan fell off the path by the river and was killed."

Captain John Jordan was not only our first Park Employee, but the father to 5 children who had lost their mother a few years before. There are multiple news articles that mentioned how he would swim out and save drowning members of the public who were exploring the new park. A great loss for us all!

 

For the final coordinates, answer this question from the first stage. How many years of loyal and valued service did John Jordan have? 

11 years go to N040 56.355 W 073 55.278

25 years go to N 040 56.300 W073 55.325

15 years go to N 040 56.302 W 073 55.333
