TeamAtlas: Sadly I’m having to archive this one because our office is no longer at this location.

This letterbox/geocache hybrid is located at our place of business. Feel free to stop and and say hi if we are open.
The neighboring business owners know about this cache so feel free to search anytime. However, as with any geocache, please use reasonable stealth as to not give up the nature of the hide, especially if searching during business hours.
The cache has room for small trade items and is a safe location to drop off travel bugs and coins. Although this is an easy find, it cannot be reached from a wheelchair, thus the D/T rating.
There is a rubber stamp and ink pad in the cache. They are not swag, so please do NOT remove them. This is for letterboxers to stamp their journals with, and I hope they will stamp their signature stamps in our logbook as well. Our family enjoys both geocaching and letterboxing, and we like to see the different personalized stamps that letterboxers create. If you don't understand the name of the cache, Google it!

What is Letterboxing?
Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime combining artistic ability with "treasure-hunts" in parks, forests, and cities around the world. Participants seek out hidden letterboxes by cracking codes and following clues. The prize: an image from a miniature piece of art known as a rubber stamp - usually a unique, hand-carved creation. Letterboxers stamp their discoveries in a personal journal, then use their own rubber stamp, called a signature stamp, by stamping it into the logbook found with the letterbox, perhaps writing a note about their adventures in finding the letterbox. Although much like geocaching, letterboxing is a relatively low-tech activity which requires following clues instead of using GPS coordinates. Secret codes, orienteering, trivia, and puzzles are among the possible clue requirements for finding a letterbox. Originating in Dartmoor, England in the mid-1800's, letterboxes can now be found around the globe, including more than 23,000 in the United States alone.
