Geocache Description:


Dear Geo Hybrid,

Park at the posted coords - parking.

Of course if you’re challenged like Karl, you can probably park near the letterbox, but then what? Will you be able to sweep you scythe, revolve your reaper, or sling your sickle (some people calls it a sling blade) or cut with your kaiser? So walk there like a true letterboxer.

At the coords named “Tuscarora”

(aside: this was a water well for the locals, who are not here anymore, having been poisoned by the Tuscaroras (not the indigenous ones, the vile despoilers of the well water with petrochemicals)

THE BELOW INSTRUCTIONS ARE WRONG, THE WELL TOWER IS GONE, SO IS THE PUMP (OBVIOUS THE OIL COMPANY IS  TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR CRIME)

SO IN THE MEANTIME UNTIL I CAN FIX?? FINAL: N 40° 23.813′ W 74° 58.125′

Here is a concrete and metal formerly a source of potable, non-de-ionized dihydrogen monoxide.

On the top side of this formerly useful artifact there are four metal bolts. Line the two most easterly bolts up. Look in that direction.

Be sure to have with you your tools (i.e. a letterbox stamp or lacking that a pen with which to sign the log, sling blade optional, but may be useful)

Now head on foot in that southerly direction, about half a chain length(50 links, more or less). Whence you will come to another strange metal object, possibly an un-detonated remnant of the Forever Wars vs the Peaceful Greens.

If the above object is there, you are headed correctly. Continue on in a straight line just so far, but not too far.

(so far meaning concrete block/ruins from the Forever Wars, too far being in bushes)

Thereupon come upon some metal shrapnel. There under lies the letterbox idol. Do the required (shake the log out) and return before the sun sets, as only available sunrise to sunset.

Tell you pals, letterboxing is cool
