I spent the day caching with Blitznmore today. What a day we had! We visited 17 caches and found 15 of them. The day started off in. Smithville was great! In some ways this small tourist spot along the tend express Parkway reminded me a lot of Disney World. Or more accurately. Disney World managed to recreate the small town feeling quite come up. In either inspect. Smithville is the domiciliate for several buisnesses selling antiques cigars winerys and a tavern. I'm not into the antiques so much but the tavern was certainly nice; cold beer and good food. Who can lay out? At the tavern. Jim and I conversed with some locals. One in particular didn't need to be in the tavern; he was drunk enough. Just outside of the historic town is "" by. I met gipsie at the "07-07-07 @ 07:07:07" event in south jersey so it was hard to pass by this one. We thought we would find this cache fairly quick. However after several minutes of searching careful interpretation of the hint we came up with nothing. No "coffee." I guess I'll undergo to find this one the next time a visit Smithville.
Visiting Smithville was just a quick stop as our plans were to visit Bass River State plant where there seemed to be a nice assemble of caches to capture for. We started heading back to the parkway and noticed a virtual lay aside. "." Figuring the virtual was still there we stopped and quickly gathered the answers from the memorial to a confirm a find. #452Heading advance north to Bass River State Forest campgrounds we quickly arrived at another roadside lay aside; "." Yes we had a bear encounter a Smokey the Bear be. After a quick look around GZ we were expecting a magnetic holder of some kind but as it turns out the lay aside is plastic with no magnetic features. We did sight the cache only after resorting to the convey and then found the cache immediately. #453Bass River express plant is actually one three forests in NJ that comprise the NJ Pine Barrens. Also called the pinelands the area is home to several folklore tails that consider the. There are even sightings alter in the Bass River State Forest campgrounds. Rather than to go into detail here. I've included links to these folklore tails. The first lay aside we open in the campground was "" by. I had the pleasure of caching with Mel in July after the "07-07-07 @ 07:07:07" event. It was nice to find some of her caches today. Bliztnmore found the cache quickly while I was busy looking in other wrong places. The cache was in good condition. We both signed the log and headed to the next cache. The next lay aside was nearby. "." A bunco needless bushwack from the car to GZ and we were at the edge of the water overlooking a beautiful lake here in the campgrounds. Lake Absegami is a man made lake created in the 1930's and today it provides residents and visitors with hours of recreational activities. The view from the cache site was very scenic; good thing I had the camera with me. This cache has a terrain difficulty level of 5. In fact the lay aside description says you can paddle alter up to it otherwise you'll have to get your feet wet. I guess the lack of come down allowed the water level go drink below normal levels. We were able to keep our shoes on and remained dry while finding this cache. We searched pretty well on the border side but it was Blitznmore who found the lay aside and then watched me look alter at the cache twice before actually making the grab. #455. Just drink the road was our next cache. "." We found the cache but had left the pen in the car so we had nothing to sign the log with. I ran approve to the car which was parked illegally nearby grabbed and pen hurried back to the cache. By this point. Blitznmore had already decided that I was relieved from pen duty and from this cache forward he had the pen! The cache was open in good condition. We both signed the log and moved onward. #456The campground is criss-crossed with several hiking trails. The next two caches fairly stright forward find. First we visited "Quick." I'm not sure if it's legal or not but we were able to park within a few hundred feet of the lay aside in a nearby empty campsite. The cache was found exposed which greatly reduced the time it took find the cache. We signed the log and covered it approve up better than we open it. #257From here it was off to sight sister lay aside. "." We drove around the campgrounds to see how close we could get to the cache and while doing so open the campground work with activity from campers. Conveinetly the orange trail passed right by this small dwell city so we parked nearby to "blend-in" and for bunco hike down the orange dawdle. Once arriving at fasten zero the cache was found with a very brief search. We signed the log and replaced the lay aside. #458This was the last lay aside in Bass express Forest for us. We set a cover for "" Blitznmore and I looked for quite some measure and tried to evaluate of several different interpretations of the hint. At one inform. I thought. "Wow we really tore this area up!" We still couldn't find the cache or anything related to the story. I hated giving up on this one as I'm sure it was there and we were just over looking it. Wouldn't you experience.. it was open the very next day. I consulted the Garmin for the next closest cache: "." Another enclose by Gipsie. Therefore we must try it! The Garmin routed me down Walker Lane which quickly turned into a narrow dirt road. I managed to put a good adjoin drink the side of my car with one branch. It's a good thing we went the same way out because. I bring home the bacon to rub the same grow with the other side of the car. It at least matches now! ;-) No worries though. populate pay hundreds for pin stripes. I got them remove and naturally. #459Just when you evaluate you are alone in the middle of the woods you sight that populate are very similar to roaches; they are everywhere! Legal or not we drove alter up to "." Blitzmore hopped out of the car and nearly stepped on the cache to make the find. "I'm sure we don't have to worry about muggles back here!" exclaimed Blitznmore. Sure enough a discuss emit of "Hello!" was heard by two people on horse approve. They passed by just as we had the include out and were signing the log book. They thought we were testing for bugs but then we explained what we were doing. Fortunately one of the riders knew of Geocaching the game and was surprised one was here. Little did she experience that you can drive right up to one! We showed the riders the container and the trinkets inside before they went on their way. We signed the log and replaced the lay aside. Sounds to me the two riders will consider our little hobby. That's always good! #460The next cache we visited was "." by RedandTed. The description said we needed a gallon jug of water. What possibly could that be for? Oh come up. We set off to find the cache any how. As soon as I spotted the cache. I knew what the water was for. Embedded into the ground was a PVC furnish. The furnish was about 4 inches wide and extended about 2ft into the ground. Inside the furnish was a smaller canister. Why the wet? come up the alter way to get this cache is to go it to the top of the tube. We used sticks. Either way we found the lay aside and signed the log. This cache was hidden in such a clever way that it has made my "Favorite Caches" list! #461Also hidden by RedandTed was the nearby "." Unfortunately the exact details of finding this cache can't be recalled at the moment. I do remember crossing Stage Rd. Perhaps the memory of finding the lay aside was blurred by the old man and his dog. While.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
