New Jersey intersects with nine graticules. (Hey, it's not my fault New Jersey is so small. Blame Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, and Maryland.) This page is to track how many of them I've geohashed in and successfully reached.

Cape May will be tough to achieve on land, but I have come close to a water geohash without knowing the hashpoint was there, so it's not impossible. More difficult will actually be the Danbury graticule, which only has a tiny piece of NJ in it.

And just for masochistic purposes, we have the (39, -73) graticule. There's no land, but the western edge is within a few hundred meters of the shore. If I could find a boater in the area, this would complete my Minesweeper Geohash.

Salisbury, Maryland was a linked graticule, but since there is no NJ land in that graticule I bumped it from the NJ regional geohash. Now you know how Pluto feels.

Since I'm travelling to Wilmington, North Carolina (34, -77) this summer, I modified the map to extend that far. NJ regional geohash is in green.
