This is Arizona's Southwest Regional letterbox hybrid cache for the Cache Odyssey Project. Whether you choose to go for more regional Cache Odyssey finds or not, the main thing is to have fun! There is a gadget (field puzzle) portion to this cache, so be patient and use your noodle! A special but common TOTT is provided (spare included). Nobody should walk away with a DNF! And please replace everything as found for the next adventurer!

Cache is placed on government property with the permission of Sedona Fire Chief Ed Mezulas. Although night time is still accessible, remember Sedona's Bravest may be sleeping 😴! (So if you must go at night, do so quietly please 😁- otherwise we may lose our location). Thank you to the SFD for being a part of the geocaching community! 

And remember, please leave the stamp for the next finder so they can stamp their passport!

 

NOTE: I've left a folding chair behind the cache since it low to the ground. 

Congrats to GravyTrain54, DaCacheMonkeys and ShadowOfMingus on shared FTF!!
