Geocache Description:

This letterbox hybrid is hidden in the woods surrounding an athletic field near the Mountain Division Trailhead in Standish. My family enjoys cross-country skiing here in the winter so it has a ski theme.

NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE ANY ITEMS IN THIS SMALL CACHE - IT'S NOT A TRADITIONAL CACHE. The stamp could be damaged in the small container. THANKS :-)

This hybrid box is very small and contains only a stamp carved by the robotbunny kids (i.e., don't expect anything fancy or detailed here), logbook and marker (to ink the stamp).

Please, DO NOT TAKE THE STAMP, or anything else, from this box.

The marker will likely freeze in the cold months so bring your own (or ink pad) so you can make an impression of our stamp. The box also contains a bunch of blank index cards for visitors to stamp and take with them if they don't have their own letterbox logbook.

Since this cache is really small, and the stamp and logbook take up most of the box, PLEASE, do not leave any trades/swaps in this box.

We'd love for you to sign the logbook and put your own stamp (store-bought one or quick drawing is great too) in it.

This box's hiding spot is a bit unique thanks to my husband's crafty skills -- and you'll have to kind of look around for it. But it's only a few hundred yards from the parking area so it's no endurance test.

And PLEASE be sure to put everything back the way you found it. There are lots of muggles -- especially during soccer and baseball season -- and we don't want to loose this cache. It took a lot of effort by the whole family to put it together :-)

We hope you enjoy it!
