Geocache Description:


This cache includes a special stamp.  You may use the stamp, but please put it back, it is not collectible.  

We are definitely lacking in Letterboxes in the area, so here is one more in the area and now you can get 8 different icons in this park.

The History of Letterboxing

Letterboxes are based on an older kind of container search, called letterboxing which began in 1854, way before GPS existed. The finder follows written instructions to discover the container.

Each letterbox contains a logbook, and a rubber stamp. When letterboxers find the container, they stamp the logbook with their personal stamp, and also stamp their own notebook with the stamp from the letterbox as a souvenir of their visit. The stamp and logbook remain in the letterbox for the next visitor to use.

Letterbox Hybrids - a geocache type

The geocaching version, Letterbox Hybrids, combines the use of GPS, and the stamps of letterboxing. As with all geocaches, this cache type must include GPS usage. In addition, the cache description can contain written instructions to guide geocachers to the container.

A Letterbox Hybrid container must contain:

  • A rubber stamp
  • A logbook

This cache is starting out with a rubber stamp, a ink pad, log book, and an unactivated travel bug.

And also a big thanks to globaltreckers for the Idea of placing my Virtual cache in this park and I expanded on that and also placed this letterbox cache to make it where you can get up to 8 different icon's in this park. So with that I have included an unactivated globaltreckers geocoin in this cache.

To locate the final container follow these steps:

  • Standing with your back to the sign at GZ. Please heed the warning about dogs. 
  • Then, walk approximately 110 feet at 309 degrees
  • It will take you to a flat rock where the cache is.
  • Once you find the container Use the stamp and log your smile!
  • PLEASE REMEMBER TO LEAVE THE STAMP

Congratulations to BreezeGirl and globaltreckers on the {FTF}
