Connelly Park is home to the hydroplane races in Moses Lake,
several times a year you can watch these exciting races right here
in Connelly park!
This is Moses Lake first Letterbox Hybrid Cache. What is a
letterbox?
A letterbox is another form of treasure hunting using clues
instead of coordinates. In some cases, however, the owner has made
it both a letterbox and a geocache, like this one.
Here's the basic idea: Someone hides a waterproof box somewhere
(in a beautiful, interesting, or remote location) containing at
least a logbook and a carved rubber stamp, and perhaps other
goodies. The hider then usually writes directions to the box
(called "clues" or "the map"), which can be straightforward,
cryptic, or any degree in between. Often the clues involve map
coordinates or compass bearings from landmarks, but they don't have
to. Selecting a location and writing the clues is one aspect of the
art.
Once the clues are written, hunters in possession of the clues
attempt to find the box. In addition to the clue and any maps or
tools needed to solve it, the hunter should carry at least a
pencil, his personal rubber stamp, an inkpad, and his personal
logbook. When the hunter successfully deciphers the clue and finds
the box, he stamps the logbook in the box with his personal stamp,
and stamps his personal logbook with the box's stamp. The box's
logbook keeps a record of all its visitors, and the hunters keep a
record of all the boxes they have found, in their personal
logbooks.
If your a Geocacher try to find this cache without your trusty
GPS.
Directions to this Letterbox Cache: Exit I-90 at the 179
exit, head north on State route 17, just past the Grant county
airport take a left onto "McConihe Rd.NE", and then the very next
left into "Connelly Park", park any were in the park and walk to
the North-West corner of the park along the lake you will discover
a dirt road that follows the lake out of the park. Keep following
this dirt road until you come to a "Y" in the road directly to the
left of the "Y" down to the lake is a trail, and to the left of the
trail were it ends at the shore of the lake there is 2 trees, look
under the left tree for a piece of fire wood under the branches,
inside the firewood is the cache.
Please do not remove the rubber stamp in the cache, that's what
makes this a Letterbox Hybrid Cache.
Good Luck and Have Fun!
