Miriam's Spring Letterbox Hybrid

To get this cache you will need to crawl and get a little wet in a beautiful spring in the middle of Ein-Karem

About the spring

Maria's Spring, the fountain that was called after Virgin Mary who during her visit to Ein Karem frequented the spring and drank from its water. This story underlies the Christian tradition that sanctified the spring, and during the ages Christian pilgrims that visited the site usually filled their bottles with the spring water and took it back to Europe. This spring is considers as one of the most affluent springs of Judea Mountains and it was known for the quality of its water; however, today the spring water are not recommended for drinking.

Ok how do I get the cache in 3 simple steps ???

1. The posted coordinates will place you in front of the spring.  If you look at the spring you will notice that the water are coming out from  a small narrow cave/shaft.

2. Go INSIDE the shaft (yes you will need to crawl, yes you may get wet) and crawl inside after 1-2 meters you will see that there is a small opening to your LEFT (the water will come towards you).

3. Look in the small cave to you right there is a small cavity on the right side of the cave, you will find the cache there (see spoiler)

For the Brave cachers

If you are very brave you can crawl all the way up the stream about 20-30m (it is very narrow in some parts and very claustrophobic) until you will get to a big room with a ladder and you can exit from there.

One last thing I want to thank Dudig19 for helping me maintain this cache
