The Cache is hidden in what was once the
southern section of the Crossman Clay Pit/ Quarry and is now John F
Kennedy Memorial Park in Sayreville, NJ.
The Clay Pit began as a "Marine Bay" during
the Cretaceous period about 80 million years ago.

WARNING: WET Clay will
stick to your footwear like CEMENT! Choose a route to the "PINES"
that avoids most if not all of the Clay in wet conditions. For the
suggested route to the Cache Site see the WAYPOINTS section
below!
The CLAY MEN were your
typical fun loving good natured Martians before being turned into
Clay by QUEEN AZURA & MING THE MERCILESS for opposing their
plan to destroy the Earth. They join forces with FLASH GORDON and
his friends to defeat the Evil Duo in the 1938 Thriller Serial in
15 parts; "FLASH GORDON'S TRIP TO MARS". As characteristic of the
genre, each episode ended with Flash Gordon and his friends facing
certain death...and each new episode began with an improbable
escape.
In the late 1940's and early 50's the Flash Gordon serials became a
staple of Saturday morning children's programming. To this day, I
can think of no better way to spend a Saturday morning then
watching "Flash Gordon", accompanied by a glass of milk and a slice
of chilled Ebinger's "Mocha
Cake".
The Cache is a Decorated
(right genus, wrong species), Decon Container holding "Clay Men", a
log and pen. Please make certain the Top of the
Decon Container is closed completely and Snapped Shut at all 4
corners!
