This cache is hidden in Washington's Main Park. The
park hours are 6:00am to 12:00 midnight. You might need to use
stealth to find this cache depending whether or not they are
playing a baseball game. This should be a quick easy find with
parking less than 500 feet away.
Washington's
First Geo-Post Office
A letter and
postcard swapping cache!
This cache is a Geo-Post office. You are probably
wondering what that is. Team tkd from Lower Sackville, Nova
Scotia came up with this idea.
Jeepers2 from Springfield Missouri showed me this idea first.
She has set up Missouri's first Geo-Post office in
Springfield, "Pythian
Castle - GeoPost Office Springfield, MO". This is
Missouri's second Geo-Post office.
How does a
Geo-Post Office work?
You write a
letter, post card, etc... to a fellow Geocacher and place it inside
a zip lock bag. You need to address the postcard with there name,
State, City and the GCXXX number of a cache close to there
home. If you don't
provide this information then the letter will never make it to it's
destination. The objected is to move the postcard from cache to
cache until it reach's the desired "Geo Post Office" cache.
When you move a postcard from cache to cache you need to move it
closer to it's final destination. You should also send the
addressee a e-mail telling them were the postcard is at so they can
decide if it's close enough to go pick up.
How do I start
my own Geo-Post Office?
All you need is a
cache container, a log book, a stash note and zip-lock bags. Hide
the cache going by geocaching.com requirements and then start
"mailing" out those post cards and letters.
