The is a Letterbox Hybrid Geocache.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
To find the letterbox, follow your geo-senses and don't feel that you need to rely heavily on your device:
- At the posted coordinates, take a bearing of 40 degrees (NE) and walk about 110 meters. If you are using a geocaching app, opening the compass view may be the most useful strategy. Similarly, on your GPSr, a quick look at your compass will help you to determine which direction to go; go back to the map view and start walking away from the posted coordinates until you have covered this distance. No bushwhacking required, take the easy and obvious route;
- After following the winding path for about 110 meters, you will arrive at a fine spot to sit and take a break—and apply bug spray;
- Take a bearing of 330 degrees (NW) and follow the trail until you see a huge woody friend on your left (mind the barbed wire!) Step over one of his fallen comrades;
- Continue the winding journey for about 50 meters on a bearing of 55 degrees (NE);
- Look for a concrete hiding place that is not winter-friendly. It may be a little difficult to spot, due to the swarm of mosquitoes around your head.
As a letterbox, you will find the stamp inside for your stamp book and a logbook to sign as well. When you find the cache, please ensure you replace it just as found. Happy Caching!
