Can I not make up my mind! this cache combines several things
into one, a good choice for a 'city in the country' as Abbotsford
claims to be. When you make it to this area, you will see why it
can be called so. here you have gotten away from the more built up
areas and found your way into farmland, but just across the river
you should be able to see another city.
First, let us cover geo-post offices:
Here is how it works:
Caches are placed to hold postcards. Each postcard will have a
short message and a forwarding address on it. The address will
contain the person's name that you are trying to send the postcard
to, their home city, and a destination cache. The idea is to move
postcards between Geo-Post Offices until they reach their
destination. When you move a postcard or message from one place to
another, let the person who it's being sent to know where you moved
it to, because they might be near enough to go and pick it up. If
you move a postcard from one Geo-Post Office to another, please
move it closer to the city or cache!
As this is a geopost office, this cache contains a number of
post cards available for one to use if they so wish.
I have also covered that this is a podcast. Those audio
instructions should lead you to the cache in question. Included
within the cache are a number of Podcacher CD's. covering a number
of the recent episodes. Feel free to grab one or two and listen
away.
This cache is also a letterbox-hybrid, and thusly contains a
stamp for your personal logbook if you are a letterboxer. These
stamps are firmly attached to the ammo can, so I am not worried
about them being traded for.
As for the cache itself, well at times the 'hills' are alive
with this sort of music.
In order to find this cache, park at or near the above
coordinates. There is now a yellow gate blocking access to the
usual parking area, but as long as you are off to the side of the
road you should be fine.
Find the pathway leading east and follow it along. Keep in mind
that the dyke you are on has been raised recently, the reason why I
had to abandon my GPS cheat portion of this cache. Eventually you
will hit a clump of trees, and a side trail will diverge and head
down towards the river. You should be near a farm as well.
Head down this side-trail, and walk along the river side trail.
This trail almost feel like a wagon road, and yellow signs will be
passed as you head along the trail. The next feature you are
looking for is ahead and will consist of a wooden barrier to keep
horses and other large items off the side trail you will be taking.
Further along this trail there was a bit of orange fencing, now
fallen but meant to keep the river bank safe from intruding feet
and futher erosion. Eventually you will hit a fork in the trail.
Two posts will flank the end of this side trail where it rejoins
the main trail. The cache is about ten feet back from the y-shaped
fork in the trail.
