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/camo’d 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.
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!
White peppercorns, as well as black peppercorns, come from the drupes of the Piper nigrum plant. White peppercorns have the dark skin removed which results in a milder, simpler flavor. The aroma of white peppercorns is sometimes described as musty. While white peppercorns are not as nutritious as black peppercorn, they do have important nutrients. They are a good source of vitamins C and B-2, manganese and iron. White peppercorns contain copper, magnesium, and calcium. Piperine is a compound found in white peppercorns that helps with the body’s metabolism of nutrients and medication. White peppercorns can be used to treat or prevent digestive ailments and osteoporosis.
Happy Caching!
