A geocache hidden near a series of stone steps in a Morris Plains / Parsippany park.
I read about this location in a recent issue of Weird NJ magazine. This cache is accessible via trails or steps. Yes, you read that right. There is a series of stone steps going up the hill. To learn more about the steps, check out issue #16 of Weird NJ or the information board at the park entrance. Use the parking lot on Mountain Way. The trailhead is across the road from the parking lot / playground. At the first fork in the trail, go to the right. Within fifty feet of the fork, you'll see a small path to your left leading to the stone steps. The cache is within 200 ft of the top step. You'll see a lot of boulders there. Elevation is approximately 950 ft. The walk should be under 0.2 miles using the steps. The cache is also within 200 ft of the trail. At the first fork, go left for a more challenging climb or right for an easier ascent. The red trail is one big loop. Near the peak, you'll find a short blue blazed trail branching off from the red trail. Follow it towards the power lines for a scenic vista. (not the cache location, however) Getting to the cache should take a bit over 0.5 miles of walking via the red trail. If you get to the cache site via the trail and want to see the steps, the top step is at N 40° 50.885' W 74° 29.704'. The EPE was higher than optimal at the cache location so the coordinates I read may be inaccurate. If you're having trouble finding the cache using the given coordinates, please use the hints and pictures to guide your search. The cache is an army surplus 50 cal ammo container hidden under rocks. Contents at the time of placement include: playing cards, blank tapes, Hot Wheels car, Gooze, and a few other small toys. Most of the items were traded out from other caches. Please sign and date the log book, and re-hide the cache in its original location once you're done. |

Open Log: Personal use only This was our very very first attempt at geocaching. after reading the directions I remembered hiking in this area a few months ago so we went back armed with the printout to see if we could find the box. we looked for about 2 hrs when another family arrived and started searching alongside us. we found the item first but by less then 25 feet from the other searchers. We took a oridment and a travel bug (soccer slinky) and left some baseball cards, and a small flashlight. I have to say we are hooked. We used a palm pliot III with a rand McNally GPS module, it only shows Long,Lat numbers so we have to learn how to read the numbers to tell if we are going in the right direction.
