Geocache Description:


A little bird told me that you needed to score a letterbox hybrid - so here is one.

An  8 x 6 x 3  plastic container placed a few feet from the sandy bottom of Honey Bee Canyon.  The cache is down the wash a short distance beyond the breached dam with the little tunnel.  It is above flood water line at the base of a rocky cliff but not so high that any rock climbing is required.  It contains a stamp and a stamp log but no ink pad.

 

Please endeavor to "leave no trace" of your having been there.

This is snake country.  Always look before you step or reach.

The wash you need to traverse is subject to flash flooding.  Be alert to weather conditions.

 A Letterbox Hybrid geocache functions just like any other geocache and has exchange items and a log.  Signing the geocache log is all that is required to claim full credit for the find. 

The cache also contains the paraphernalia for Letterboxing, which entails exchanging rubber stamp images instead of exchange items.  Participating in this aspect of a hybrid geocache is purely voluntary. Letterboxing activity requires that the letterbox contain a rubber stamp and something to accept the impression of  rubber stamps.  The finder also needs to have a personal rubber stamp, an ink pad and something in which to record stamp images. The finder thus develops a collection of impressions from the stamps in the various letterboxes found and each letterbox develops a collection of impressions from the finders.  The stamps can be hand made or commercial.

If you have the items you need for Letterbox Hybrids, you also have the items needed to participate in finding free standing Letterboxes.  More information is available at
