This Ohio Letterbox Information!
This is a letterbox hybrid geocache. Inside it you will find a red ammo box containing the Cache Odyssey Ohio self-inking stamp and a logbook. If you have a personal stamp, please stamp the logbook with your stamp. You can just sign the logbook if you don't have a personal stamp. The stamp and logbook are to remain in the letterbox hybrid for the next visitor to use. You will also find an orange ammo can that will be the home for trackables, so this is also essentially a Travel Bug Hotel!
FTF Honors go to GeoHAMgamer! Congratulations!!!
To find this Cache:
Step 1:
Go to the posted coordinates.
Step 2:
Upon arrival, if you do NOT see Spiderman at or near the posted coordinates, the nearby location is closed. Hours are listed below if you are interested. Whether it is open or closed, head southeast to the bright green door. Take note of the first digit of the number in front of S. Main (on the same line). This is the first digit of the lock on the geocache.
Step 3:
To the right of the large window of the main shop, there is a thermometer. How much is a shave and a haircut? Subtract 20. This is the second digit of the lock on the geocache.
In the bottom left corner of the large window is a brand name that starts with the letter 'K'. How many letters are in that brand name? This number is the third digit of the lock on the geocache.
Step 5:
Back at the green door, there is a lower window pane. Below the Pac-man, ghosts, and Jurassic Park symbol, there is a white number in a white circle. Remove the fraction portion of the mixed number. What is the remaining whole number? This is the fourth and final digit of the lock on the geocache.
Step 6:
Look down in front of the main window to find the geocache! Turn the numbers so that the 4 digits are in order between the words Master and Lock on the lock. When finished, please replace the lock so that the Master and Lock are facing forward for the next finder. Make sure the numbers are showing and that the shackle closes all the way, then spin the numbers to lock it again.
Optional Fun!
THIS IS NOT REQUIRED!!!!
You will see the Cache Odyssey stickers on the outside of this chest. You will also see other stickers! Please feel free to bring or purchase your own stickers and add them to the container, then take a picture of the cache showing off your contribution and post it in your log!!!
