L is for Letterbox
which is another form of treasure hunting that uses clues instead of coordinates. In some cases, the letterbox owner has made their container both a letterbox and a geocache and posted its coordinates on Geocaching.com These types of geocaches will contain a stamp that is meant to remain in the box and is used by letterboxers to record their visit. The origin of letterboxing can be traced to Dartmoor, Devon, England in 1854. You can find additional information on (Dartmoor Letterboxing) or (Letterboxing in North America.)
Please be respectful when you go to posted coordinates, you will be in the South Haven Cemetery. At the posted coordinates there is a large concrete sign with a number of plaques with names of those interred in the cemetery. Use information on the plaques to determine the cache coordinates.
- A is the number of people noted born in 1931
- B is the number of words in the statement on Michael Arnason’s plaque

- D is Daniel Woodall’s number of years of service
- E is the number of the month W. Geoffrey Egan died

The geocache is located at N53 29.ABC W113 20.DEF
You will find a stamp and stamp pad in the container. Please leave both in the cache.
