Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the above listed coordinates!



FULL SERVICE GEO POST OFFICE

Post has arrived on the island. A brave pigeon brings the mail to and from the post office. He flies, from the above coordinates, over a distance of 2984 meters and doing so, he follows the course of 197 degrees.

HUH?
This cache is a Letterbox Hybrid in an effort to help you find it with ease. The stated coordinates are not for the container. Just follow the above given directions for this letterbox. The Geo Post Office is located in a residential area. You may park in front of the post office but not blocking the gates. Please be considerate of the neighbors. If we are around we will wave or come out and say hi. You dont have to be at the other site of the fence and the guarddogs know that also. Dont stick your hand true the fence. As ink will dry out over here do take your own with you. In the LBH is a stamp. Just the way it should be.

WHAT?
Geo Post Office caches are placed to hold postcards with each postcard having a short message and a forwarding address on it. The address should have the person's geocaching-name that you are trying to send the postcard to, their home area and destination cache. Again, the idea is to move postcards to another geo postoffice or another cacher until postcards reach their destination. When you move a postcard from one place to another, let the addressee know in case they are close enough to pick it up. Make sure that you are moving it closer to its destination.

WHY?
It's another neat thing that we can do with geocaching!

HOW?
Look inside the container for the, mostly International, mail.

BOTTOM LINE!
The postcards are moving. See this first log of this geocache. (http://coord.info/GLGA5EBA)



Curacao Geocaching Absolutely Essentials

Water Particularly when the heat picks up, don't take a chance with dehydration. Take along a water bottle or two to keep yourself going.
A pen Although larger caches and some micros will have a pen or pencil, many will not. Pens dry out in the elements. So you really should always bring your own.
Hiking boots Sneakers will do for some urban caches, but most caches on Curacao are located in rougher the terrain. They provide superior sole and ankle support and have saved me from cactus needles more then once.
Thorns All plants on the island are 'pika', so wear boots, long trousers and other protection.
Poisonous Plants There are a few on the island so watch out for them.
A Cell phone Or better a smartphone, so you can call for help, use it as a backup-GPS and take some nice pictures.
CITO please do collect and dispose of litter found along the way.
