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!
Kaffir lime leaves are a tropical aromatic fruit native to southern China and tripcal southeast Asia. These are also found in South Africa. Known as kaffir limes or African lime, the leaves and rinds are commonly used in cooking and are added to curries and other dishes. This is an essential ingredient for cooking authentic Thai food. An important ingredient in soups.
Kaffir can also be called the Makrut lime or the Thai lime. The leaves are the most used part of the Kaffir lime plant. They come in the fresh, frozen, or dried variety. You can find kaffir lime leaves at your local grocer, Asian market, or online.
If you've ever wondered how Thai food achieves its signature taste, look no further. Thai lime leaves are a staple in Southern Asian cuisine.
Happy caching!
