7 June 2009 Beach Caching in Monmouth and Visiting Secaucus












After a visit to the Newlyweds home for brunch, it was time to get to the serious business of vacation and the New Jersey County Challenge. There are 21 counties in New Jersey. Ali had covered five on prior visits to her sister and we had visited one during a Delaware Water Gap vacation so we had 'only' 15 more counties to visit. The New Jersey County Challenge is a little different since it excludes micros. If the container can't take a coin or travel bug don't bother to list it. This worked for me. I can't remember the last time I went over a week with no micros. :-)

We didn't need Monmouth, but the day was perfect and Ali had these puzzles solved. There's lots of puzzle caches in New Jersey. The ones we found were creative, fun ones. After a few beach visits, we headed for a new county and Secaucus. The caches in Secaucus are in a wetlands. It was really interesting caching for regular-sized caches with the New York skyline and the Empire State Building in the background. It was a great way to start the week.
