This cache has been archived.

icefrog: One of the main elements of this letterbox is missing, so it won't work anymore.... will change this to a regular cache, and leave it where it is. Should be an easy find for those that already found it once!!

Geocache Description:

Our first try at a letterbox-type cache - inside the plastic container is a stamp pad, stamp and sketch pad. Stamp OUR stamp in your notebook and stamp YOUR stamp in our book. Or just sign log if you don't have a stamp yet. Small items may be traded & travel bugs allowed. DO NOT TAKE OUR FROG STAMP PLEASE! It may help to have a calculator, although you math-heads can do without one!

This cache begins at the above co-ordinates, then uses your pace count (PC) for the remainder of the time. Before you begin, take note of your surroundings. You will see a few road signs, a field of parallel "Trees-No-More" (TNM) and a circular road by a boat launch. There are short posts on either side of the road by the circle - think of them as LP (left posts) and RP (right posts). Next, determine your pace count (PC) by walking with a normal stride from one point to another. Begin at the happy naked tree at the above co-ordinates, and walk to the stiff green vertical snake at the roadside.

Write down your pace count - _______________

Now go directly to the seam of road and grass in front of you, turn right, and walk along the edge of the road. How far? Use this equation: ( RP - 60 ) x PC. You are going in the right direction if you pass the crop circles on your right.

Turn left, cross over the asphalt river and venture to the watering hole. Walk "B" degrees clockwise; then pause to reflect.

"B" = RP + LP + TNM + 238

Turn left and walk about 0.7 x PC until under the wooden rainbow. Continue in a straight line for 1.3 x PC. When you reach the double fallen tree you should be about halfway there. Continue over or around the horizontal trees to the cache. Sign or Stamp the Logbook - Please do not take our Frog Stamp or StampPad!
