+lfpinnj Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I was about to attempt 2 caches in the Northwestern section of Allaire State Park (GC32D8 - "Other Side #2", GC3677 - "Just 4 Fun"). I got about 200 yards up the trail from Allaire Road and noticed some yellow "Crime Scene Tape" lying on the ground. I figured someone was trying to funny and planned to remove the litter on my way out later. I continued along and found the intersection of 2 trails. These were both roped off with the same crime scene tape. At this point I decided to leave the area. I asked the young lady at the park entrance about it. She had no clue.(literally). I scanned the local newspapers to see if any crimes had been committed in the area and found nothing. Anyone know anything about this??? Quote Link to comment
ThatRoyGuy Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I did an on-line search (including the Asbury Park Press) and asked a friend who lives right near there, but didn't come up with anything. Maybe it was just a prank. "No matter how cynical you become, it's never enough to keep up." - Lily Tomlin Quote Link to comment

+lfpinnj Posted July 29, 2002 Author Share Posted July 29, 2002 Since nobody seems to know anything about this, my only hope in learning anything is to recheck the Asbury Park Press again on Wednesday(thats typically when they update their police blotter listing), and then go back again this weekend and give it another try.

BassoonPilot Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Why don't you just call the park superintendent or local police dept and ask if that part of the park is, for any reason, currently off limits? Quote Link to comment

I called Allaire State Park this morning. Evidently, the park uses crime scene tape to mark off trails that might be dangerous or difficult to navigate. In this case, there were some large trees knocked down by storms about 10 days ago. They are cutting the offending trees today and the trails should be open by tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 You should have told them that they could buy yellow tape that says CAUTION for about a buck a roll at Home Depot. They don't have to be borrowing Crime Scene tape from the cops. "Life is a daring adventure, or it is nothing" - Helen Keller Quote Link to comment
