#4933 - 12:40; Our week in New York was drawing to a close and we had checked off most of the sights we had on the 'to do' list for this trip. Going Coastal’s NY-NJ Harbor Estuary EarthCache Discovery Trail in Liberty State Park in New Jersey was on the 'to do if you can get there' list on the recommendation of a caching mate back in Australia who had been here before. I was happy that I was able to make it over the river to walk the trail, although the temperature in excess of 90 degrees F made for a hot one. This was the third stop along the trail, and though not very far from the first, a little different as there werre more trees busy producing oxygen for the benefit of the surrounding cities. Gathered the required information and email sent to the CO for the OK. TFTC Going Coastal 
Arrived at this area and set about the task at hand. Had a bit of fun and soon worked out the required answers.
Thanks for interesting, and hands on, earthcache......

The promenade is very nice. We see New York, Liberty statue and the habitat of area. The trees give shadow for the pleasure of visitors. We find them height and ''right'' (droits). Thanks
such a beautiful day and so many people using this trail.
we cached and took tons of pics, all while learning.
thanks for all the info.
email to follow.

On I go to the next cache, on the way making a slight detour for another local cache (Abbott and Costello). Rapidly deciding that this is going to be a hot day for caching and I didn't bring any suncream.
I am quite surprised by the number of helicopters flying around. Other than at an air show I don't think that I have ever seen as many (later an Apache helicopter comes through, really something to watch). It's this contrast of nature and human technology that almost sums up America for me, it's almost a contradiction and hard to get my head around. Here I am studying things about the earth, that have been here for as long as can be remembered while at the same time there is great evidence of mankinds progression.

We found that earth cache on our US-tour. Due to the rain not so perfect, but interesting.
Many thanks to the owners.

Another great night for a walk. It's a very nice place. We are glad that we found it since we are new to the area. TFTC. email sent
See my log for Liberty Enlightening (GC2T1KZ) for a discussion of my approach to this series.
Once I got to the coordinates, I could see why the hinted was added 
Things appeared to have changed since this Earthcache was first placed. I enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanks for another great Earthcache! Earthcache #7 for me completed!

On my way to Cape May, NJ from NH to visit the folks, for Dad's 81st and mothers day! Was able to score this find on the way down! Will send the answers over the next day. One at a time. The devestation of sandy certainly has influenced the area. I spoke with several park rangers and they are not sure when things will fullyreopen! Thanks for bringing me here! TFTC, ponil
I have learned a lot so far. Trees allow us to have oxygen to breathe, provide shade and hickory nuts to eat if it is a hickory tree. TTFTC
Visiting the area from New Hampshire with Preferida, Kballsey and Team Salford on the return leg of a five day caching trip that covered NY, NJ, PA, and DE. Many thanks to the folks from Going Costal for placing this series for taking us to both of these unique spots, and for the great educational lessons. We really enjoyed it! Answers wll be sent soon.
was able to nab 25 earth caches in one day which is a feat i had never thought possible. visiting the area from NH with 3 other caching friends; TFTC's and nhtravelers5 has sent answers to you
Had a very nice time visiting this area and enjoying looking for several earth caches- just stellar! NH Travelers submitted our answers for us. My thanks to the CO for the work put into creating these. My apologies for the very late log!
