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 has a number either in the inside lid of the container or on the top of the log. You will need to have this information to calculate 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 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% during the adventure; but if you have access to a GPS, recommend you bring it….just in case service is sketchy.
Obtaining coordinates in a couple of locations was challenging…..so recommend you look at the spoiler photos and/or the hints.
Parking….enough 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). When you are outside in the woods, always we aware of the plants in the area....some are poisonous (i.e. poison oak) and ticks.
Thank you to the Seahawks12man team for the series concept and many of the containers!
Capers come from a prickly bush called capparis spinosa that grows wild across the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. The capers we see in the grocery store are the un-ripened green flower buds of the plant. Once the capers are picked, the immature buds are dried and then preserved. Capers are either cured in salt or pickled in brine, which is what gives capers their trademark savory, briny flavor profile.
Capers are considered a low-calorie food, but since they are not eaten in high quantities, they do not offer any significant nutritional value. However, they contain nutrients such as vitamins A, E and K and are a source of copper, iron and magnesium.
Happy Caching!
