Fishers of Men Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Mohmers: This box was orginally planted in the summer of 1999 after reading about letterboxing in an issue of Smithsonian.

It has been a VERY EASY find but also an OFTEN visited find so close to the interstate.

We have had fun seeing from where and when the visitors have sprung.

Due to renovations and the lack of another good hiding spot at the location we must archive this geocache/ letterbox hybrid.

Geocache Description:

This was originally planted in 1999 as a letterbox. Today we updated it to a combination geocache/letterbox. That stamp is for letterboxers.

This is a very easy hunt but my kids loved it.

Please keep this cache very PG-rated as it was placed by permission on private property. :o)

To avoid raccoons, no candy please.

Happy Hunting.
