Geo What?

While you were geocaching, have you ever been crawling under a picnic table or had your southern end sticking out of a North bound bush : when a kind passerby stops to ask; "Did you lose something" or "Need some help"? You may be tempted to mention the nickel you dropped or the pesky contact that just popped out. But if you do the right thing and say "Oh, I'm geocaching"; The next thing your new friend will say is "Geo What"?


This is a Letterbox Hybrid cache that combines a traditional geocache with a Letterbox. There is a log book and a stamp & pad; as well as a book of instructions, if you are not familiar with letterboxing. The coordinates will take you to starting place and you must follow the directions below to find the actual cache. You can drive the first part then park and walk to the cache.
  1. Your starting place is where life usually ends.
  2. Go downhill on the North street to the intersection and make the right choice
  3. Travel straight past lights that may stop you
  4. Look sharp for the building with a vane of weather
  5. If you pass the Italian delight you have gone too far
  6. Park and walk to the center of a row of columns
  7. Take 10 paces (1 pace = 2.5 feet) forward then left face
  8. walk to the end of the granite and take one pace forward
You are now at the best spot to start looking for the cache.(How do muggles find things here?)
