Mail Call in the Valley Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

The Cheyniacs: This letterbox has had it's up and downs. Many DNF logs, several maintenance trips (some logged and some not), as well as being muggled at least once. Also having a well meaning novice cacher swap in another cache from elsewhere in the park. Sixteen and a half years was a good run. Time to clear the area for something new. Many thanks to MikeGolf3 for placing this and thanks to all the seekers and finders over the years.

Geocache Description:

To find this letterbox follow the clue at the bottom of the page.

NOTE: This is a LETTERBOX HYBRID geocache. Letterboxing is a precursor of geocaching, using compass bearings and other clues to lead the seeker to the letterbox. Typically a letterbox contains a logbook and a stamp. If you wish, you may stamp your personal journal with the rubber stamp in the letterbox (cache); then you may stamp the logbook with your personal stamp if you have one - if you don't have a stamp, just sign the logbook. But be sure to leave the stamp, logbook, inkpad, and instructions in the container.

Mail Call in the Valley

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE LETTERBOXING STAMP AND/OR STAMP PAD

A letterbox to commerate the Chattahoochee Valley Cachers. It is located in Idle Hours Park by Moon Lake. A great place to enjoy a picnic and feed the geese, or maybe a walk ;-)

This letterbox cache contains small trade items along with its log and pen, and the letterboxing stamp for those who partake in that beloved game. The stamp is a small square carved into a tee-nee little Chattahoochee Valley Cachers emblem.

You are looking for a lock-n-lock container that is camouflaged. Please place it back as you found it. If you enter just right, you will have plenty of cover to take care of the log signing and such. :-)

Letterboxers: There is not a typical letterbox logbook. I want to share our game with the Geocachers, so please trade stamps in the Geocaching logbook. This way the cachers can read our logs and we theirs. :-)

:::THE CLUE::: Idle Hours Park is a great place to enjoy some geese as they live on Moon Lake all year. Park in the parking lot to the North of the lake. Walk South to enter the Nature Area. Following the Nature Area trail along the right paved fork. Walk to the triple tree which is on the left side of the paved path. At the triple tree, follow the upaved path down to the giant forked tree. Search her base within five feet for the box which is hidden by a rotten log under a stick pile.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE LETTERBOXING STAMP AND/OR STAMP PAD
