Geocache Description:


 Fishers of Men Letterbox/Geocache    ... Formosa Jt

This was originally planted in 1999 as a letterbox.  

April 5, 2001, we updated it to a combination geocache/letterbox. 

The stamp is for letterboxers.

This is a very easy hunt but my kids loved it.

This cache was placed by permission on private property and is video surveilled. 

It was removed because of renovation (Apr 2005) and placed in a different spot on the property (feb 2020). It took a 15 year hiatus.  Welcome Fishers of Men back.  

No Night Caching. Please do not search for this cache on Sundays from 9:30am to 11:30am or 5pm to 6pm.

Happy Hunting.
