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!
Prescott park has gated hours. Generally closing by 5pm during the winter months until February, and then dusk during other times of the year. Don't get caught on the other side of the gate - it's not cheap to get out. This cache is off the main road, so generally will be accessible even when the trails are closed. There is a large parking lot with porta potties, so you don't have to park at the yellow gate to get to the caches.
Watch for the flowers while traveling to this cache. You're looking for a container on the downhill side of the hint. Please practice no trace hiking across the meadow.
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:
Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, and those born under this sign will be quick to tell you all about it. That’s because they love to talk! It’s not just idle chatter with these folks, either. The driving force behind a Gemini zodiac sign’s conversation is their mind. Ruling the third house, the Gemini-born are intellectually inclined, forever probing people and places in search of information.
The more information a Gemini collects, the better. Sharing that information later on with those they love is also a lot of fun, for Geminis are supremely interested in developing their relationships. Dalliances with those of this astrology sign are always enjoyable, since Geminis are bright, quick-witted and the proverbial life of the party. Even though their intellectual minds can rationalize forever and a day, Geminis also have a surplus of imagination waiting to be tapped. Can a Gemini sign be boring? Never!
