This cache has been archived.

AsphaltCowGurl: We are moving out of state and we decided to take our caches with us. Maybe later in the year, we can put them back out there. Thanks to everyone who tracked down this cache. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, creating it.
BTW, there were no trackables inside. :-(

Geocache Description:


As far as I can tell, this is Alpharetta’s first and only Letterbox hybrid cache. I like letterbox caches so naturally I had to put one out there.

*DO NOT REMOVE THE STAMP & INK PAD. THEY ARE NOT TRADE ITEMS.

*IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN STAMP, STAMP THE CACHE LOG AND RETURN THE LOG TO THE CACHE.

*IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A STAMP, JUST LOG YOUR FIND IN THE CACHE LOG AS NORMAL

 

The title says it all. Simple find. A PNG.

So what’s a 356? Well, it’s a Porsche!

 

 

Porsche made these cool little 2 seater cars, the predecessor to the 911, between 1948 and 1965. In all, only 76,313 of these hand built cars were produced. Most stayed in Europe, some made it to the U.S. About 1/3rdof them are still around. They were powered by a small rear mounted, VW engine that today, your lawnmower would more HP! It took Porsche 2 years to produce the first 50 cars! Most were sold in Germany and Austria. They were very popular among racing enthusiasts. The first road certified 356 entered and won it's class at Innsbruck, June 1948.

There were a few variations. Speedsters were only produced between 1954 and 1958 and collectors trip over each other for a chance to get one. For more info about the Porsche 356, check out Wikipedia.

I placed a few of my signature trinkets in the cache. Feel free to take one but please leave some for the next cacher. Watch for dog walking and commuting muggles!

Congrats to GeauxTeam! for the FTF! They were so fast that I barely had time to recognize the hide had been published before they found it!
