Geocache Description:


A few of the zodiac caches have been destroyed by fire or continuously muggled. Until I figure out a way to better secure stamps from disappearing I'll be slowly archiving the series. Current caches will remain. Missing stamps that have already been remade a couple times will not. If you find one of the caches and need the numbers or stamp image please message me and I can send them over!

There is no longer parking at the north end of the TID, but there are some street spots just down path (southish) from the cache. You will need to offroad a little bit. Please choose your path above the trail to minimize erosion.

Please read through for supplies you will need for the connected mystery caches! There are some specific items you will need, unless you want to make a return trip.

For the series you will need a print out of the image at the bottom, or very careful lining up of your stamps. When you print out the image make sure it is printed at 100% (not fit to page). The circle should measure 6 inches across for the stamps to fit in the guide lines correctly.

I highly recommend you approach this with the guide, or cut out each stamp so you can arrange them at the end. You will want an ink pad, or at worst a marker or sharpie. An ink pad will get you clearer images typically, but markers = color. I am not including ink pads in all the caches because they don’t last in the weather.

Please remember that the stamp must stay with the cache. If you find it missing, please message me directly so I can make a replacement. The stamp is NOT a trade item. Please re-wrap it well, thanks!

There are a total of 17 caches with this series: 12 traditional, 4 mysteries, 1 final. While you only need to sign the log for your find, you will only be able to complete the mystery caches connected to these, and the final cache, with careful stamping and sleuthing. You may want to make a couple copies of the stamp. Pay attention to any numbers on the stamp.

There are 12 traditional zodiac signs with each astrological signs being one of the twelve 30° sectors of the ecliptic. While Aries starts off the series at the 0° mark on the ecliptic, Capricorn starts off the series as the first sign in the Gregorian calendar. As we go back in time to look at the zodiac, we will look at our signs as stamped in counterclockwise order from years end to beginning, to determine the puzzle’s clues.

Per www.astrology.com:

Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac, is the home of the wanderers of the zodiac. It’s not a mindless ramble for these folks, either. Sagittarians are truth-seekers, and the best way for them to do this is to hit the road, talk to others and get some answers. Knowledge is key to these folks, since it fuels their broad-minded approach to life. Those born with a Sagittarius zodiac sign are keenly interested in philosophy and religion, and they find that these disciplines aid their internal quest. At the end of the day, what Sagittarius wants most is to know the meaning of life, and to accomplish this while feeling free and easy.
