Geocache Description:


This cache is placed for the Haunt in Halmich XII event. All event attendees who chose to find this cache the night of the event are eligible to claim FTF status. In addition, this cache is placed in Halmich Park, a City of Warren Park; caching hours are 7am-10pm.


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

A letterbox hybrid cache is based off of letterboxing, which predates geocaching by 150 years. In order to find most letterbox caches, you are required to start at the posted coordinates and follow along the story in the cache description which will lead you to the final container with a logbook and a stamp for you to stamp your personal notebook (again, another adaptation from letterboxing). We decided to mix things up this Haunt in Halmich with several of these letterboxes. Hope you have fun!

All nine letterboxes in Halmich Park revolve around a boy named Josh and his adventures dealing with the ghouls of Haunted Halmich Park. All the letterboxes are numbered in the title based on their location in the park - it is highly recommended to follow them in order (you don't have to start at number one) to make an efficient trip around the park.


Using your GPS, find your way to the posted coordinates to start the letterbox.

Josh finds himself at the northwest corner of Halmich Park - he feels like he's been at this exact spot before, but can't figure it out. Anyways, Josh wants to check out this forest area but is suddenly stopped by a whole bunch of knights with swords and shields. "Hey, do you know where I can find this cache?" asks Josh, but the knights respond with a simple "NI!". Trying to figure out where the knights came from, they interrupted Josh's thought process with "you must continue east along this paved path until you spot a faint hummingbird. Go to it and from there, you continue parallel with the sidewalk until you see a yellow sign with an arrow. At that point, head in towards the park until you come across a tree on a small hill, this is where you'll find your cache." Not sure what to do, Josh followed along to what the knight said to do and sure enough, there was the cache he so eagerly wanted.
