What to do when you find the geocache

The cache is a letterbox hybrid which means it is a letterbox and a geocache.  It  contains two different stamps: the Cache Odyssey Maine self-inking stamp and a second Maine-themed stamp with a stamp pad.  If you would like to keep track of the Northeast states you visit in the geotour, download a copy of the Northeast Region Passbook or scan the QR code below. Use the Cache Odyssey Maine stamp, to stamp the "Maine" box in the passport.  If you have a personal stamp, you are welcome to stamp the cache logbook with your stamp.  Don't forget to sign the cache logbook too!  If you don't have a personal stamp, you can just sign the cache logbook.  Please leave both stamps in the cache container for the next visitor to use.
