Geocache Description:


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!

Tandoor is the traditional clay oven of northern India.  Using a combination of radiant heat, convection and smoke, it cooks dishes to perfection.  This oven is the catalyst for beloved Indian dishes including tandoori murgh and tikka masala.  Use the tandoori blend with yogurt to make a delicious marinade. Tandoori masala is an Indian spice blend consisting of a variety of spices to include cumin, coriander and tumeric.  It also includes garlic powder, ginger, cloves, mace, fenugreek, cinnamon, black pepper and nutmet.
