Furnace Highlands Cache Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Los Nidos Hawks: This oldie needs to be put to rest so we are taking it down. Too many complaints and too much upkeep. The stages have wasted away with time and caching styles have changed since this was placed. Back then it was also about the "challenge" along with the "find". Time to open the area to make way for new hides.

Geocache Description:


Suggested parking is at N 40° 40.420 W 074° 55.060. Go to the first stage of the cache and get the next coordinates to the final stage which is in a 30 cal. ammo can. Entrance to the preserve is across the street from the parking area.

This 95 acre nature preserve was once the site of a grist mill. Then, during colonial times, it was converted into iron works which flourished from 1742-1781. As you follow the trail through the preserve you will pass the remains of some of the former buildings.

Continue on the well marked trail until you reach what should be an obvious spot where you will find the coordinates to the last stage of the cache. No need to bushwack. Just follow the trail and your GPS.

The cache is located not too far off the trail. If you follow the clue you will know what to do. At both stages you can sit back and relax. Enjoy the view too!

We started the cache with a few well wrapped glass items for the first to find. No need to un-wrap them. Take a chance. Hope you enjoy this quiet place but keep in mind that hunting is allowed in season.
