A letter and postcard
swapping spot!
This is a Geo-Post
Office!
What is a Geo-Post
Office you might ask.
Well, A geo-post office is a cache set up to exchange post cards
or letters between cachers!
How
does this work?
Caches are placed to hold postcards.
Every postcard will have a small message and an address on it. The
address will contain the person’s name that your trying to send the
card to, a city and most likely a cache. The objective is to move
postcards between Geo-Post Offices until they reach their desired
location. When you move a postcard or message from one place to
another, please let the person who it’s being sent to know where
you moved it to because they might be close enough to pick it up.
If you move a postcard from one Geo-Post Office to another please
move it closer to the city or cache!
Who
should I send these postcards or messages to?
Anybody that you want!
What’s
the purpose?
It’s another fun thing that we can do with geocaching! It’s also
nice to keep in touch with others!
What do
I need to put on a postcard?
Put the name of the cacher, a city and you’ll most likely want to
put a cache that they can pick it up from. A little message is
usally appreciated too.
How far
can I send one?
As far as you want as long as there are Geo-Post Offices along the
way there!
How Do
I send one?
Go to any Geo-Post Office and place your message or postcard in
there. Please if your putting one in try to move a different one
along.
How Do I
start my own Geo-Post Office?
All you need is a cache container, a log book, a stash note, some
zip-lock bags and of course postcards or letters to go in it! Put
the post cards or messages in the zip-lock and place the log book
in another. Make sure to put in the name of the cache “Geo-Post
Office” so that others will know. You may even want to include this
note on the cache page to introduce new people.
Here is an example postcard, borrowed from Zonker
& Co
The cache itself is in an
ammo can.
This location was used for the L.M.G.A. moving cache. More info
about the moving cache can be found below.

This cache is for postcards
and messages only. Feel free to place trackable in the cache but
there is no loot inside the cache...... only postcards.
Remember that you can easily make your own postcards at home by
printing them off and laminating them or you can get fancy and get
some from a store.
Now that you know what it is what are you doing wasting your time
reading this??? Get going and find this cache!
