This cache is a Geo-Post Office, which means it isn't a normal
trading cache. What is a Geo-Post Office you ask? See this page
or read on!
Geo-Post Office caches are placed to hold postcards with each
postcard having a short message and a forwarding address on it. The
address should have the person's name that you are trying to send
the postcard to, their home area and destination cache. The idea is
to move postcards from post office or cache enroute until they
reach their destination. When you move a postcard or message from
one place to another let the person that it is being sent to know
in case they are close enough to pick it up. Make sure that you are
moving it closer to its destination.
Who should I send these postcards or messages to?
Any geocaching team that you want.
What's the purpose?
It's another neat thing that we can do with geocaching! It's also
nice to keep in touch with other geocachers.
What do I need to put on my postcard?
Put the name of the cacher, the destination and a cache where it
can be picked up at. A message to the recipient is appreciated
too.
How far can I send a postcard?
As far as you want providing that there are post offices and caches
along the way.
How do I send one?
Go to any geo-post office and place your message or postcard in
there. Read the out going mail to see if you can help a card or
message along its way.
How do I start my own geo-post office?
All you need is a cache container, logbook, stash note, zip-lock
bags and some postcards to start. Put the postcards or messages in
a zip-lock bag and your logbook in another. Make sure that your
location is listed as a geo-post office so that other cachers
know.
