PUBLIC LETTERBOX: This geocache is one in a Hybrid Letterbox series associated with U.S. Post Office Buildings. Posted (like in Post Office) Coordinates are on a public sidewalk outside of, across the street from, yet in view of, the Post Office Building (not collection boxes). Final Coordinates are in a public place a short distance away and are visible as a Waypoint for those who prefer not to follow the Path Description.
BONUS: Be sure to look for the Letter Alphabet Code if you want to complete the Bonus GCAHV69.
PATH DESCRIPTION: You as Geocacher will follow the path of a mailed Letter from the Post Office to Final Coordinates. You may bike, bus, drive, or walk (all at your own risk, of course) to the Posted Coordinates. Parking is limited. Go South along the Left-side of public sidewalk on Williams Ave S for about 0.3 mile to the Final Coordinates. If you reach S Grady Way, you have gone too far.
LOGBOOK INSTRUCTIONS: This geocache's Logbook is Chain Mail or Chain Letters---many tiny envelopes linked together with one chain. Each finder marks one tiny envelope. DO NOT BREAK THE CHAIN. The Chained Logbook is inserted into the geo-container.
CHAIN MAIL OR CHAIN LETTERS HISTORY: Chain Mail or Chain Letters originated in at least 1888. The first recorded chain letter was for fundraising: the letter requested each recipient to send money to the top name on the list, then add their name to the bottom of the list. Then, the recipient was instructed to forward the letter to a certain number of people. By early the 20th century, chain letters were a popular way to send good luck. These letters promised that the recipient would receive good luck only if they forwarded the letter to a certain number of people within a certain number of days. Then in the 1930s and 1940s, chain letters turned bad, stating bad followed if the chain was broken, and were used to scam recipients out of promised large financial returns. Today's chain letters are used mostly for entertainment, passing on jokes or stories. (Tarun Kunar, University of Delhi).
BLOCK STAMP FOR LETTERBOXERS: A "For You Envelope" Block Stamp (not a Postage Stamp) is provided for you to stamp only on your own letterbox material and not on the Chain Mail. Do not take this Block Stamp. Please bring and use your own Ink Pad as it is not provided.
