This
box has unfortunately disappeared. But, don't panic--there
are plenty of other boxes to find! We'll be leaving this clue
up on the website as a permanent memorial to a bygone era.
The
area where this box is hidden is in a floodplain, and is usually
wet, muddy, and slippery. Be prepared! If it has just rained,
don't bother trying to find this box as it will most likely
be underwater!
To solve this clue, first
answer each of the following questions:
1) Which university won the first intercollegiate football game?
2) What is the last name of the Newark resident who invented the stock-market
ticker?
3) What is the last name of the engineer who invented FM radio?
4) What is the last name of the Newark-born performer who got his start
in 1946 performing at the 500 Club in Atlantic City?
5) What is the name of the tavern where New Jersey changed from a 'colony'
to a 'state' in 1777?
6) What is the last name of the Maplewood dentist who invented the golf
tee?
7) What is the last name of the Montclair resident who rode on Gemini 12?
Now, take the first letter of each of the answers, and rearrange them to
form the name of a New Jersey town. Then, follow these clues:
Start on the yellow trail opposite the millpond. Go down the stairs and
cross a wooden bridge.
Right before the second wooden bridge, you'll see a tree leaning over on
the right, with a yellow dot on it. Take the path to the right, and look
in the base of the tree at the water's edge. |
