Geocache Description:

A little twist on geocaching for the local cachers, and to reduce the wear on this natural area: I have hidden my secret lock box somewhere in Boynton Beach, FL. To find it, you must first find the Travel Bug "Wayfinder's Secret Lock Box Key" in a local cache and follow the coordinates written on the key label to this cache. Solve the riddle printed on the box & use the key to unlock it!

The coordinates above are for the entrance to a county-maintained natural area. Posted hours are sunrise to sunset. There are no restrooms nor is there drinking water at this site. No pets or bicycles allowed. This is where you will begin your search for the lock box. But first...

...check out the key’s location on the Travel Bug page. It should be in a cache within a 15 mile radius.

Second, retrieve the TB key, be sure to note in that cache’s log book that you have taken it, and WRITE DOWN THE TRAVEL BUG'S NUMBER for yourself in order to log the bug’s movements.

Third, use the coordinates on the key label to find the lock box. SOLVE THE RIDDLE ON THE BOX to learn how to open it. Be sure to keep the key with you when you’re finished, and to lock the box once again.

Fourth, check out the list of Nearby Caches. You must place the Travel Bug key in a cache within 15 miles of this one (there are over 30 from which to choose).

The cache container is a black metal lock box approximately 12” x 8” and 3.5” deep.

Please remember to log here any items taken or left so I know when the cache needs to be replenished.

Difficulty rating of 3 is due to the time and effort required to get the TB key, find the lock box, and to move the TB to another cache; there are also potential GPSr reception problems due to tree cover. The terrain is mostly loose sand. A hike of just under one half mile is required. Keep in mind that movement through heavy brush is not necessary. Please, no bush-whacking. There are several possible approaches to this cache, so if there’s heavy brush ahead try another approach. Tread lightly.

I hope you all have a successful and enjoyable hunt!
