Geocache Description:


So here you are: ready to lanch on your 2001 Cache Odyssey... best leave a note before you blast off!
Oh! But ground control has moved the mailbox!!!  Never fear, my cache cadet -- you've got this!

With your back to the road, ease toward your right.
Not far -- only about 20 feet, past where the iron blooms.
Cedar and agarita cradle your prize in spaced out colors.

Remember to keep the stamp pad in its separate bag -- they make SUCH a mess when they go bad.

Look in the gallery and download the 'postmark' for your geo-photocollection. wink  And maybe post some memories of your own!

FYI: WHAT IS A LETTERBOX-HYBRID CACHE?

Letterbox Hybrids are based on an older kind of container search, called letterboxing. Because letterboxing began in 1854, before GPS existed, the finder follows written instructions to discover the container.

Each letterbox contains a logbook, and a rubber stamp. When letterboxers find the container, they stamp the logbook with their personal stamp, and also stamp their own notebook with the stamp from the letterbox as a souvenir of their visit. The stamp and logbook remain in the letterbox for the next visitor to use.

LETTERBOX HYBRID GEOCACHES

The geocaching version, Letterbox Hybrids, combines the use of GPS, and the stamps of letterboxing... the cache description can contain written instructions to guide geocachers to the container. [As does this one]

A Letterbox Hybrid container must contain:

  • A rubber stamp
  • A logbook

REMEMBER:  the cache's rubber stamp is not a trade item but intended to stay within the cache!!!
