Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT located at the published coordinates

The published coordinates are for the Lewis Morris parking area just off of Tempe Wick Road. This is a 4 part multi-stage hike or mountain bike ride thru a small section of Lewis Morris Park. You’ll be on the Yellow, Red and Orange Connector trails. Small container so please bring your own writing tool.






At each stage you will be provided a code with offsets which you will need to decipher to get to the next stage. Offsets need to be calculated based on the published coordinates.
HINT:
If you can figure out the Stage 1 puzzle you should have no problems. Stages are within a few feet of the trails so no bush-whacking is necessary until the final stage.


Stage 1: Figure out the puzzle below to obtain the coordinates for stage 1. Assume N40 and W74.



Answer Grid.





You can check your answers for stage 1 puzzle on Geochecker.com.

HINT: Take the completed Answer Grid with you.

At stage 1 you’ll need to find a natural looking object. Lift to open. Inside you will find the offset clue for the 2nd stage.
At Stage 2 look again for something natural just slightly out of place. Looks sorta like a soap bar. Inside you'll find the offsets for Stage 3.
Stage 3 will contain the offsets guiding you to the final stage. Natural but in the shape of a letter. Twist to open.
Final is near a bridge and will require just a bit of bush-whacking. Natural object. Lift the "lid".
