Bush Mail (2) Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

iPajero: The Buffalo Trail is situated in the beautiful Umtiza forest and we have had the enjoyment of walking it on many occasions. Unfortunately the authorities stopped maintaining the trail and for the past fifteen years we have spent many days clearing and keeping it in a hike able condition. We also arranged four CITO's where many teams helped with chain saws and brush cutters for 8 to 9 hours and our thanks goes to them. Unfortunately due to our age we are unable to continue with trail clearing and the caches along the trial have not attracted any cachers over the past five years. Very reluctantly and sadly we have decided to archive these caches but as the saying goes, ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END.

What is a Letterbox Hybrid?
Letterboxing is another form of treasure hunting using clues instead of coordinates. In some cases, the letterbox owner has made their container both a letterbox and a geocache and posted its coordinates on Geocaching.com. If there is a stamp inside a Letterbox Hybrid, it is not an item intended for trade; the stamp is meant to remain in the box so that visitors can use it to record their visit. As a suggestion you may want to have your own book to stamp using the stamp provided in the letterbox when visiting various letterboxes along your geocaching journey. Visit letterboxing.org to read more on letterboxing.

How to find the letterbox by using the clues:
• From the given parking coordinates head to the start of the two trails.
• At the trail junction take the trail that veers left.
• Continue on this trail for 60 paces or look for the tree marked 361.
• Turn left and take 40 paces which should bring you to the base of a big tree.
• The letterbox is in close proximity to the tree.

REMEMBER TO RECORD THE CLUE FOR THE BUFFALO TRAIL BONANZA PUZZLE CACHE!
