Standard letterbox hybrid just off highway 260 and near the Highland Trail 31. About 6000 feet elevation and with rare exceptions due to snow or closure due to fire danger, it is open all year. Parking is paved. Vehicles need not go off pavement. In addition to the normal logbook and trade items, it also contains a letterbox stamp, inkpad, and stamp book. Please do not remove the stamp, ink pad, or stamp book. THEY ARE NOT TRADE ITEMS!
The Highland Trail 31 goes from this trailhead to the Pine trailhead off highway 87. It traverses 50 miles along the base of the Mogollon Rim and has several places for entering or leaving the trail. Park in the lot and go to the nearby horse corral. Read the sign describing the trail, then turn with your back to the sign. You will see the trail you need to follow upslope. Your GPS will guide you the rest of the way. This is a Letterbox Hybrid geocache. It functions just like any other geocache and has exchange items and a log. Signing the geocache log is all that is required to claim full credit for the find. The cache also contains the paraphernalia for Letterboxing, which entails exchanging rubber stamp images instead of exchange items. Participating in this aspect of a hybrid geocache is purely voluntary. Letterboxing activity requires that the letterbox contain a rubber stamp and something to accept the impression of rubber stamps. The finder also needs to have a personal rubber stamp, an ink pad and something in which to record stamp images. The finder thus develops a collection of impressions from the stamps in the various letterboxes found and each letterbox develops a collection of impressions from the finders. The stamps can be hand made or commercial. In addition to the normal logbook and trade items, it also contains a letterbox stamp, inkpad, and stamp book. Please do not remove the stamp, ink pad, or stamp book. THEY ARE NOT TRADE ITEMS! If you have the items you need for Letterbox Hybrids, you also have the items needed to participate in finding free standing Letterboxes. More information is available at www.letterboxing.org
