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 cap of the container and/or on the top of the log. You will need 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). Watch our for animals and plants in the woods!
Epazote is an aromatic herb.. Both the fresh leaves and stems are used in cooking. The flowers are green and very small with thousands of tiny seeds. Epazote is suitable for those who prefer gluten-free, vegan, vegeterian, and paleo. This herb is used in cuisines and traditional medicines of southern Mexico and Guatemala. Epazote has a strong taste and aroma so not everyone enjoys it! This herb does not stand up to heating so it is added to dishes near the end of the cooking process. Epazote is also used to reduce gas and bloating experienced after eating beans and/or vegetables.
