1. Please log ALL location visits, including: Finds, DNFs & when in need of specific maintenance. Please do not log “Needs maintenance” just because you can’t find it. Coordinates may need adjusted after the first finders come through and give me an honest judgment on the coordinates.
2. BYOP. Forgot my pen logs will be deleted. You must sign the physical log to claim a find.
3. REPLACE HIDES EXACTLY AS FOUND. If you cant retrieve it, sign it and return it to where you found it, than this is not the game for you. IF something seems out of place, I will adjust the hide when alerted.
4. I try to rate my geocaches as accurately as possible. Some will be harder, some will be easier, some containers will be camo taped, spray painted & home made. If you feel the geocache is rated off by more than 1.0 point in either direction, please let me know.
5. Have Fun! Happy Travels! Good Luck!
NOW FOR THE LETTERBOX: (Tape measure & Geosense needed)
1. Start near posted coordinates and you will see 3 different trailheads
2. Start on the trail with a boot brush
3. Continue down trail until you find a sign. TAKE NOTE the amount of digits in Mr. McClue's first name
4. Continue onward - until you reach the fallen wooden giants with the path cut through them
5. Find the one with the biggest attached roots.
6. Measure the widest distance at the path's edge of the tree, measuring to the nearest whole even number. ADD it to your current number.
7. Continue onward - staying on the path until you reach a long wooden giant fallen beside the path on your left. There should be roots attached sticking straight upward.
8. Measure the distance from the ground to the top of the roots. Closest measurement from this list.
(Over 4ft= 50, over 5ft= 75, over 6ft= 100, over 7ft=125, over 8ft=150) ADD it to your current number.
9. Continue onward - until you reach McClue's Toothpick Cache. Slightly past the geocache on the path you should find a much shorter log that is hollow on one end.
10. Measure how long this log is. Rounding it to one of these numbers.
(2 ft= 25, 4ft= 50, 6ft=75, 8ft=100) ADD it to your current number
11. Continue onward passing the rooted dirt mountains
12. Continue onward until the path curves East. Good spot to find another geocache.
13. Continue with the ups and downs, curves and banks and bends, over roots and curvings East some more until you reach a crossroads.
14. Using your total value at this point.
To take the tulip trail you need - 200+
To take the juniper trail you need - 0-199
15. Take a current GPS reading at the crossroads.
16. Continue onward until you reach a colored stake(@300ft)
17. How many letters in the value of that color mutiplied x 10. ADD it to your current number
18. Continue onward until you reach another crossroads. Choose the opposite choice this time.
19. Continue onward passing the "Duck".
20. Continue past the next geocache location until you reach an old red pump
21. Open the screw valve. Try to pump water. Can you? Yes +100. No +50.
22. Continue onward to next crossroads. Take a current GPS reading.
23. Do not take the "long" route and using your total current value, travel that many feet down that trail. Nearby you will spot a giant Evergreen and the geocache.
Bring your own stamp pad. Stamp stays in cache please. Happy Hunting !
FTF gets a camo pill bottle for a replacement or to hide plus a George Washington.
