Geocache Description:

This is another cache in the "P.O. Box" series. The posted coordinates are for the Post Office and the cache is NOT in or next to the building. The cache is within walking distance from the Post Office, which is the easiest way to access it, because there is mostly No Parking along the street. To find the cache location use the (Grid:Row:Column) format.


This cache series is being extended and was originally developed by Maryland cacher MDSurveyor. With his kind permission and help, I am continuing the concept to include more locations. This hide replaces P.O. Box – Newbury Park Station (GC4F1NH) which was archived when its hiding spot was removed. That hide, in turn, replaced P.O. Box – Newbury Park (GC37ZZH) which had to be archived when the Post Office closed that branch and moved its operations here. Third time's a charm?

To determine the cache location, use the (Grid:Row:Column) format to find:

(G19291:R2:C30) = 19abc

(G991:R2:C23) = fed

(G351:R3:C22) = uvw

(G651:R6:C6) = xyz


The final cache location is:

N 34° 11.(abc+def) W 118° 56.(uvw+xyz)


The P.O. Box lobby is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If this is your first “P.O. Box” cache, please visit the page of another cache in the series for the complete instructions to help you solve the puzzle. For example, you can find instructions on the listings for:

P.O. Box – Bel Air (GC1BF0T) - The P.O. Box series started here.
P.O. Box – Thousand Oaks (GC359TQ) - Another local cache in the series.

And, don't forget, the approach to solving P.O. Box puzzles is always to determine the Row number before the Column number.

Please bring your own writing tool.
