Spring Trail Stamp Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Krypton: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This cache is a Letterbox Hybrid - one of a set of letterboxes that we are hiding in Santa Cruz County to celebrate the Four Seasons of the geocaching year! Unlike most caches, Letterboxes are designed to encourage artistic expression rather than trading of trinkets. For more about the pure form of Letterboxing go to Letterboxing North America.

The coordinates above take you to the clearing within 30 feet of the cache, so use some of the directions below to find the cache OR you can do this without a gps in the way a Letterboxer would. The cache is a slightly camo'd tupperware container containing a stamp logbook, Spring rubber stamp, stamp pad, mini clipboard with paper to use if you don't have your own letterbox book to imprint my Spring stamp on, pencils and stash note. PLEASE LEAVE ALL OF THESE ITEMS IN THE CACHE.

Other guidelines:
- In the logbook identify yourself and the date of your find. Include with your entry your personal rubber-stamped impression, sticker, doodle OR a poem about the season you are visiting.
- Stamp your personal logbook with the rubber stamp you find in the cache OR take one of the pre-stamped impressions from the cache clipboard to put in a logbook later. (You may wish to put the name of the cache and date on it.)
- Please do not leave trade items in the cache. There is room for geocoins or small TBs, but be aware this cache gets some muggles logging in on occasion.
- If the logbook becomes full, the clipboard or stamp pad becomes empty, etc. please let me know in your online log or by email and I will come to replace it. I am hoping the logbooks will become a treasure for each finder to read and for me to keep when they become full.

Thank you and enjoy the Four Seasons!!! - Chickasaw

Directions to the cache:
- Enter the Pogonip Trailhead from the end of Spring Street to Spring Trail.
- After .3 mile you will see a trail marker. Keep walking on Spring Trail for .14 mile further and look for a large clearing on the left side.
- In Spring this may be hard to see, but there is a large bare cliff wall to the left with many berry bushes.
- On the left end of the wall is a medium-sized deciduous tree (no leaves in winter). Walk between the tree and berry bushes to the large rocks near the wall to find the cache hidden beneath them.

SPRING SONG
Singing liquid notes In the green bud tree A willow warbler Welcomes the sun on the old wall Its song melts away The long grey winter Sing of sweet hope Let no late frost Stop its trilling throat
