DawnAIC 500th: Halfway to 1K! Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Chris Saves: After the last log headed out the door to check up on this one and see if it was still salvageable but looking around the GZ couldn't find even a trace of the cache... my guess is it wasn't put back in its hiding spot well enough at some point (to find it you had to lift up a plank of wood and actually look underneath to see the box hidden further inward, but if just put back underneath that first plank you had to lift it would be easily spotted by anyone looking down through the gaps in the planks of wood) and a curious muggle noticed it and pilfered it.

Since the hiding spot is possibly comprised, that I'd have to carve another stamp and the puzzle would have to be reworked for a new hiding spot coordinate it's sad to archive this one so early but I'm not sure it's worth the effort to replace it as it was only for it to possibly be muggled again.

Maybe a DawnAIC 700th hide as a sort of replacement? Maybe.

Geocache Description:

My Saves pawrent already has a tribute cache to my mommy DawnAIC in Long Island (their first letterbox "Panda Bear!" in Bellmore, NY!) so I told them that I, Clover W. Bear, the illustrious geocaching dachshund shall handle this particular hide! THE LETTERBOX IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES! There's a fairly simple puzzle to solve (...or translation really) to get the final coordinates! Please use stealth and don't take the stamp, thanks!


My mommy DawnAIC & I; panda buddies! 💘🐼☘🐾😅

My mommy isn't shy about the fact she loves pandas, she even dresses me up as one from time to time (which isn't as un-BEAR-able as it sounds...😂), or buys me shirts and jackets with pandas on them! She's gone down to D.C. numerous times to visit the pandas they have at the National Zoo and she even stamps her finds with a panda stamp... personally I think dachshunds are better... and cuter... but mommy goes into full panda-monium when she sees those cuddly looking black-and-white bears!🐼


So since my mommy DawnAIC loves pandas I figured I'd ask a panda to announce the final coordinates! (I'm so clever, really I am!) So here's Panda with the answer!


...oh, Pandas are from China so... I've been bamboo-zled! The coords are in Chinese! ...maybe you can help me translate?😅😘 Please use stealth, don't take the stamp and return everything as you found it or better, thanks!


Congrats to DawnAIC, Looking 4 Secrets & SynDaLog for FTF! Congrats to DawnAIC on her 600th find and 50th Letterbox! (...and on a tribute to her 500th, impressive!
