Geocache Description:


For whatever reason, getting good coords at this cache was difficult!  Hopefully the hint will help you be successful!

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!

Paprika is a spice made from ground dried red peppers. It comes in three varieties; sweet, smokey or hot.  Sweet paprika tends to be used in stew while  smoked paprika is perfect for seasoning grilled meats. Hot paprika is frequently used in curries.   Paprika varies in color from bright orange to deep red and can be used to dye eggs and fabric.

Paprika contains capsaicin which has antioxidant properties that can help reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease, improve immunity, and alleviate gas.  Paprika is rich in calcium, potassium, and phosphorus.  It’s also a good source of Vitamins A, B-6, E and K, Niacin, Choline, and Folate.

Happy Caching!
