Geocache Description:

"...also known as "dead letter box", is a special location that is used to get information (or objects) from one spy to another spy, without the need for the spies to meet..... But anywhere where you can easily hide and retrieve messages, without drawing attention to yourself, will work." (Definition copied from http://www.topspysecrets.com/spy-dictionary.html )

 

 


This sounds like geocaching with trackables and swag.

Welcome to the very edge of the Mt. Zion Lutheran Church property.

Here you will find a special deal. We have placed a geocache here AND a Little Free Library. Registration number is 28215. You as a geocacher, are deemed a fellow steward of this library. It would be great if you could peek inside and let us know if all is well. Thank you.

The pastor has given permission to use this spot on the property. You will not stand out like a sore thumb because we have provided you with a cover story while you are looking for the cache. You can simply say you're visiting the new library or you can just give a friendly wave to any car that passes by day or night. (Night caching?!)  If you have a good book you are willing to drop-off, we'd appreciate the contribution. If you don't, but spy a book you like, please take it. We hope this becomes a good safehouse for trackables.

Caching at night is fun and is welcome. If you think you are being shaddowed by anyone, keep yourself safe and come back another time. Please put back correctly and as always, use cacher finesse.

Update/Notice as of March 12th, 2023. Please note this cache is aging. Also, the church is no longer active. We are unsure of the future of this location. I know lots of cachers travel to our area from all over the world. Please let people know to refresh their saved caches for any future updates.

Sign the log for a smiley, if you can find it. Cash/cache for the FTF. Congratulations to gjsk for your first FTF.

Cache on!

Note added 7-22-2015: There is a journal inside the Little Free Library for visitors to sign and write notes. That is not the geocache log. :) You will see an official GC label if you are in the right spot. We have changed this cache from premium only to all cachers. Note: 1-27-16: Thank you for your nominations and votes that made this cache the Washington State Geocache of the Month for November 2015. Please consider becoming a member of the WSGA.
