The Scarlet Letter is a 1850 romantic work of fiction by Nathaniel Hawthorne; considered his magnum opus. Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, it tells the story of Hester Prynne who conceives a daughter through an adulterous affair. Hester struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity without exposing the father. Once her adultery is discovered, she is found guilty of adultery (at that time illegal) and forced to predominantly wear a red "A," inspiring the title of the novel. Throughout the book, Hawthorne explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt. Besides being a staple of literary analysis for American secondary education, the novel has been printed in numerous editions and adapted to both opera and plays. Since 1908, the novel has been adapted to film at least nine times in the United States; as well as adaptations in Britain, Germany, and South Korea.

The first stage will take you to a public space where you are looking for the coordinates to the final. The final is located on private property, but within 2 feet of the curb so you can cache with confidence without having to worry about walking around someone's yard. You have permission to hunt, but please be mindful of the property and what you find there. Please leave the stamp at the final.

Good luck and do your best not to DNF. I would hate to see you walking around with a big, scarlet "D" on your chest for the rest of the day.

Out and about doing some marketing for work today... Decided to stop to fill in another day on my found calendar! I made both stages more difficult than they needed to be by looking for much harder things rather than the obvious ones in front of me! Thank you for placing this letter box!

What an excellent idea. I'm up from Houston working on a five in five challenge, five cache types in five states. I stamped the log, thanks for letterbox. This gets a favorite point.

After this morning's event we headed out for a very enjoyable day gathering several of the solved puzzles and letterboxes in this end of town, Also grabbed quite a few traditionals along the way. Was disappointed that the original container went missing as I was looking forward to seeking what I thought it would be. Was not finding the replacement as I developed a "blind spot". Ready to give up the hunt and decided to try one more thing and there it was. Thanks for a very creative cache - earns FP. Nice hide. SL. TFTC

Typical for any cache I try to place, some decide to steal the cache container. I've replaced the final container, and the cache is ready to go for the next cacher. While the replacement is not as cool as the original, future finders will have a more challenging hunt as compensation. If this one doesn't get vandalized during my 6 month CDT thru-hike, I may look at trying to replicate the original container.

Since it has been almost 7 months since the last visit, I dropped off a nice TB to entice another legitimate cacher to come join the hunt.
