Letters from the heart USPS 99502 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

blazingpathways: Many of the little blue boxes have been decommissioned and the links are difficult to find deep in the Postal Museum archives. Thanks to everyone who worked on solving the Letters from the Heart series through the years. I will pick up the container in the next couple of weeks.

Geocache Description:

The coordinates listed lead you to a little blue USPS box - there is no physical cache at the starting location. Rather, the starting location has an answer to one of the questions that will bring you to the final. GEOCHECKER ADDED.

A NEW HIDING SPOT and a clue updated 4/21/11 lead you to 99502 (replaced on 3/7/08). This is the second in a series of caches dedicated to the ever faithful little blue boxes of the US Postal Service. How they seem to blend into my environment until I need one. This faithful servant is waiting, waiting.... for me to get away from my email and cell phone long enough to send a letter.

In a song about little blue mailboxes, there is someone waiting for a letter. In the two choruses of the lyrics to that song, you will find the answer to one of the questions below. The other answer is found on the little blue USPS mail box that is waiting at the starting coordinates for your visit.

Final: N 61 08.a09 W 149 57.b67

a = add 7 to the next to last digit in the mailbox identification number 99502000x0 found at the starting location

b= the number of times the word "waiting" is mentioned in the lyrics of the song by Fink.

Are you all comfy and nestled in at your computer? Bring a writing utensil and wait no longer, because on Valentine's day I lost my heart.... and its waiting to be found.
