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!
The hike in is a bit of an uphill, but a beautiful hike out Snark trail, if you haven't been this way yet. It's between 1-1.5 miles from the parking waypoint. I recommend parking at the provided waypoint. Head up the waterline trail, which then turns into Snark. Watch for bikes until you've passed both BTI and Jabberwocky.
I took a few averages, but the gps was constantly jumping a bit each time even with settling. If you're having difficulty, look at the hint!
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:
Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the zodiac, and Aquarians are the perfect representatives for the Age of Aquarius. Those born under this horoscope sign have the social conscience needed to carry us into the new millennium. Those of the Aquarius zodiac sign are humanitarian, philanthropic, and keenly interested in making the world a better place. Along those lines, they’d like to make the world work better, which is why they focus much of their energy on our social institutions and how they work (or don’t work).
Aquarians are visionaries, progressive souls who love to spend time thinking about how things can be better. They are also quick to engage others in this process, which is why they have so many friends and acquaintances. Making the world a better place is a collaborative effort for Aquarians.
