We figured Fayetteville needed one of these.
Welcome to Fayetteville's First Letterbox Hybrid
(at least we think it's the first)
Don't know what a Letterbox is?
Check out: Letterboxing North America

In a nutshell, a Letterbox Hybrid is a special kind of cache containing a special rubber stamper and logbook (and other swag the cache owner puts in there) that Letterboxers visiting the cache use to stamp their own personal stampbook and then leave their personal stamp impression in the cache logbook. You don't have to be a Letterboxer to enjoy this cache, though. Normally, traditional Letterboxes do not use GPSr's to locate a letterbox, but rather clues, puzzles and landmarks. Hybrids are a little of both letterboxes and regular caches.

When looking for this cache, bring along a rubber stamp of your own to stamp the logbook. If you don't have a stamp of your own, feel free to use one of the swag stamps in the cache (if there are any left) or doodle something instead (please keep it PG-rated!)
