Geocache Description:


Official Stuff

This cache is located on cemetery grounds, but NOT near a grave.  It is placed with permission.  Cache is available daylight hours only.  Please be respectful of others in the cemetery.  There is a stamp inside the cache, but you will need to bring your own inkpad.  Please do not take the stamp.  It is NOT SWAG!


This Cache

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!

To find the cache, you will start by talking to Mathews.  After you finish talking with him, find the nearest two-trunk tree and walk towards it.  When you reach the tree, continue in the same direction, you will pass three trees in that path (there may be other trees off to the side, but you are concerned with the ones in your path).  After you pass the third tree, but before you get to the fourth, look to the right and you'll see a pair of fraternal twins.  The cache is at the base of these twins...

Can you find the cache?

 

About Letterboxes

Letterbox Hybrids are based on an older kind of container search, called letterboxing. Because letterboxing began in 1854 (Wow!!), before GPS existed, the finder follows written instructions to discover the container.  These instructions may be very explicit (Walk 100 paces in this direction) or more general in nature.  

Each letterbox contains a logbook, and a rubber stamp. When letterboxers find the container, they stamp the logbook with their personal stamp, and also stamp their own notebook with the stamp from the letterbox as a souvenir of their visit. The stamp and logbook remain in the letterbox for the next visitor to use.

The geocaching version, Letterbox Hybrids, combines the use of GPS, and the stamps of letterboxing. As with all geocaches, this cache type must include GPS usage. In addition, the cache description can contain written instructions to guide geocachers to the container.
