Cache AKA ====>>> INSECT ALLEY.....
Equidistant from either parking spot. (approximately, as the crow flies)..
When I was a kid we used to ride our bikes from the Lord Stirling Road Bridge to Green Village via Meyersville Rd. about 30 years ago they cut out about 1.5 miles of this road and ripped up the blacktop. This trail is what is left of that road. You can park at either the Green Village End of Meyersville Rd. or from Basking Ridge go past the Raptor Trust and follow to the end (it's called White Bridge RD. from this end)... The cache is 0.75 miles from either parking area. (6 of 1, 1/2 doz of the other)...
Trail has 30 years of overgrowth, but is still travelable, tho, in single file... not your typical paved bike trail...
Can be very wet & use a good insect repellent during warm months... We rated this a 1.5/3.5 as we placed the cache on a 3H day... we may downgrade the 3.5 to a 2.5 when the colder months approach... Right now it's a jungle... It is on the ORANGE Trail, on the Green Village side of the cutoff to the SILVER Trail...
Cache is located about 50 ft east of the trail, in plain view, under a large fallen moss covered tree... can't be seen from the trail, you have to go past the overgrowth on the trail side to find it...
Good Luck... and enjoy... It's a really great and unusual hike... on a rather obscure trail...
Cache is a blue rimmed rubbermaid 6x10x4 container with an "Official Geocache" label...
Original cache contents: WG$, 2 TB's (Magic Bus & Skyline Void)... plus a bunch of stuff we have accumulated from other caches...
Note: Orig Coords were: N40 42.898 W74 27.529... but we placed the cache on a bad GPS day (hot,humid,hazy with nasty thunderstorms brewing all around)... We have gotten some feedback & it looks like Mr. Magoo's coord's are right on... and I have changed the cache location to reflect this... Thanks for the help Magoo!!! it saved us another trip down "Insect Alley" during the season...
