The inspiraTion foR this cachE comEs from those moments that would not have happened if not for caching. Whether it’s bumping into another cacher while racing for an FTF, taking in a spectacular view of nature, discovering a new spin on an old place, or meeting a curious muggle who seems befuddled by the bizarre activity of people using GPS units to search for hidden treasures, geocaching brings us endless opportunities of happenstance. I found this location by happenstance after nabbing a nearby "Don't Bark Up the Wrong Tree" (GC4KZKJ).
This is a Letterbox Hybrid Cache. Letterboxing is another form of treasure hunting using clues instead of coordinates. In some cases (like this one), the letterbox owner has made their container both a letterbox and a geocache and posted its coordinates on Geocaching.com. The stamp inside a Letterbox Hybrid is not intended to be a trade item; the stamp and ink pad are meant to remain in the box so that visitors can use them to record their visit. To read more about letterboxing, visit the Letterboxing North America web site.
Coordinates will take you to the general area of GZ. Because this is a letterbox-hybrid, the coordinates are not intended to be exact since hybrids contain a combination of coordinates and clues. The given coordinates take you to a large rock formation just off the paved road. There is a young pine tree growing near the road next to the large rock formation where the cache will be waiting. The cache was placed in August so I'm uncertain how accessibility will be affected once the snow falls, difficulty may increase if there is snow on the ground.
There is a variety of swag to get started in the lock-n-lock style container. I also dropped a TB who wants to do some traveling. BYOP.
