Information
The South Jersey Geocachers (SJG) are sponsoring the South Jersey
Checkpoint Challenge series. This challenge is intended to take
geocachers on a tour of Southern New Jersey (loosely defined as
south of I-195) while finding caches placed by members of the SJG.
On the tour, we hope you will find South Jersey an interesting and
beautiful part of our great state.
Scattered around the area are 26 checkpoint caches and a final
challenge cache -
South Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NJDZ). The names of the
individual checkpoint caches are based on a phonetic alphabet using
plants to represent the diversity of ecosystems that you will
encounter on your tour of Southern New Jersey. You may even run
into the infamous Jersey Devil while you're there. The 26
checkpoints do not have to be completed in any particular order.
See the SJCheckpoint bookmark for the complete list of caches.
Hidden within the 26 checkpoint caches are numbers to be used in
determining the coordinates of the final South Jersey Checkpoint
Challenge cache – please be sure to note them while you are
there.
While there are no special logging requirements for the 26
checkpoint caches, there are special logging requirements for the
final challenge cache. Complete information can be found on the
South Jersey Checkpoint Challenge (GC1NJDZ) cache page.
Happy caching and enjoy the South Jersey Checkpoint
Challenge!!!
