Mezcal, or mescal, is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from the maguey plant (a form of agave, Agave americana) native to Mexico. Joven mezcal is clear and hardly aged. Reposado or añejado (aged) is placed in wood barrels from two to nine months. Añejo is aged in barrels for a minimum of twelve months
This is a Letterbox Hybrid Cache. A letterbox is another form of treasure hunting using clues instead of coordinates. Once a letterbox is found instead of signing a log book, you place your stamp mark in the letterbox's log book and place the letterbox's stamp into your own log book. In some cases such as this, a letterbox hybrid has coordinates, making it a letterbox and a geocache. You can leave your stamp and get the cache's stamp in your own log book as in letterboxing, or you can simply sign the log book as in geocaching, or both.
This letterbox hybrid contains:
- A log book. BRING YOUR OWN PEN.
-A rubber stamp & ink pad.
PLEASE LEAVE THEM IN THE CACHE.
To get to the cache follow Greenwood Ave trail from parking. Take a left at the split. On your right you should notice a small bridge a few hundred feet down the road trail. Cross it and follow the mountain bike trail up. From there use the coords to find the cache.
Many times, mostly as a marketing gimmick, a worm or scorpion from the native location is placed in a bottle of mezcal. Hence the stamp is themed appropriately!
