Welcome to the “Spice and Herb Series”! The caches in this series are hidden along logging roads and will consist of 26 caches plus a bonus. Each cache will have a number written on the inside lid of the container and/or on the top of the cache log. You will need this information for the bonus cache.
The roads may not all connect so you may need to move your vehicle to complete the series.
The caches may help cachers with challenges such as “tantograms”, “A to Z caches” and capital letters.
Many of the caches use repurposed/camoed spice containers!
Some of the cache containers have a pencil in them, but some were too small for a pencil…..so remember one of the essential “tools” is a pen or pencil!
Phone service was almost 100% when I placed the caches. If you have access to a GPS, recommend you bring it….just in case phone service is limited.
Obtaining coordinates in a couple of locations was challenging (but that's some of the fun of caching....using your geosenses!) Recommend you look at the hints. For some of the caches I've added a spoiler photo.
Parking: There is enough room for 2 cars; appears to be safe (no broken glass in the area)
There were some mosquitoes. You might bring a set of small clippers (just in case the thorny bushes grow over the summer). Always watch out for poison oak and other nasty weeds!
Thank you to the Seahawks12man team for the series concept and many of the containers.
Anise is also called "aniseed" and is native to eastern Mediterranean and Southwest Asia. The flavor and aroma of anise is similar to star anise, fennel, licorice and tarragon. Anise is used to flavor food, tea, candy, and alcoholic drinks. Anise may also be used to relieve sleeplessness.
Did you know that anise oil was used by builders of steam locomotives? In Britain, anise oil was put into the white metal plain bearings so the distinctive smell would give a warning of overheating! Anise scents can be used on fishing lures to attract fish!
Happy Caching!
