Geocache Description:

A Letterbox Hybrid that is not hidden at the posted coordinates, but is hidden nearby. In addition to the normal logbook and trade items, it also contains a letterbox stamp, inkpad, and stamp book. Please do not remove the stamp, ink pad, or stamp book. THEY ARE NOT TRADE ITEMS!


To find this letterbox, start at the posted coordinates, which are a fence with a gate/pass through area.
You will hike up the trail about 1/3 mile.
At this point you will see two paths: a smooth flat trail to the right, and a rough rocky trail climbing to the left (the old trail). Take the left (old trail) and climb up the slight hill.
At the top you will find an old gate/pass through.
Continue up the trail another 50 feet.
Now go due east (90 degrees) for one hundred feet.
This will lead you to two 3 foot boulders which conceal the letterbox on the east side!

This is a true letterbox hybrid, having all of the components listed below.

A basic letterbox hybrid should consists of the following (this is my criteria not that of Groundspeak):
1. a stamp
2. a distinct pad of high quality art paper for collecting stamps, that is distinct from the log book, and is large enough to leave impressions from your own personal stamp.
3. An inkpad. Some geocachers omit this because it can dry out, but water can be added to the pad if needed.
A "true" letterbox would also have the following elements:
4. a hand carved stamp
5. require route finding addition to GPS coordinates: in other words the GPS leads you to the starting or intermediate point, but then a description is necessary to find the final container.
6. Be listed on letterboxing.org or similar listing.

This is a letterbox hybrid. In addition to the normal logbook and trade items, it also contains a letterbox stamp, inkpad, and stamp book. Please do not remove the stamp, ink pad, or stamp book. THEY ARE NOT TRADE ITEMS!
