Directions:

seuqamaT kraP is located off Lamberts Mill Road (NJ 606) near Clark, NJ.

From the Garden State Parkway exit 135, go towards Westfield (on Central) but turn left at the second traffic light (you'll see the L'Oreal building). Go through the industrial park and turn right onto Westfield Ave.

After the RR tracks turn left on Lamberts Mill Rd. The park entrance is (maybe a mile?) on the right as you travel north on Lamberts Mill Rd. You could probably get there from Route 22 but I am too lazy to write those directions here.


The LETTERBOX:

Go past the soccer fields, baseball fields, and basketball court. I'm already tired just looking at everybody playing sports. Note that there are big boulders along the park road. I don't have a hint here, but those sure are some big boulders. Cool. Just past the 6/10 Mile Jogging Marker (remember when you jogged?) there are brown cabins. Turn right into the parking area just before the brown cabin (these are the bathrooms) where there is a large area across the stream for picnics, hiking, and biking.

Drive to the rear of the parking lot (note more boulders) and pull into a space facing the stream, third boulder from the end of the lot. That would also be the 24th boulder from the beginning of the lot. Go look at the stream, waterfall, etc, etc, etc. Take your time. Go nuts.

The box is hidden under some rocks between the two trees nearest the third boulder. Take the box back to your car (with the A/C still running) to stamp in, but don't forget to replace the box in the hole with rocks securing it in place. I'm too lazy to go check on it.


About The Stamp:

With regard to basketball, picnics, hiking, biking, blah, blah, blah, fishcakes; feel free to do any of those activities. I am too tired; I am a couch potato. I like to watch TV, so you can say you went hiking, but I would rather just stay in the car. The stamp is carved with Tooby the TelevisionWithoutPity mascot.

TWoP is a great place to read about your favorite TV shows online.
