The posted coordinates are where you should park.

I don't recommend searching when it's dark.

Head as if the clock struck six.

I doubt you will encounter ticks.

Make sure you look and use your brains

When crossing all four traffic lanes.

Once you've made it across the street

Your steps will resume upon concrete.

Head towards the sun as if it were dawn.

You should have good walking shoes on.

After a while, you will see a sign

That mirrors the path's curvy design.

Walk some more is what you'll do.
Look on the right for your clue.

It reads SW ten seventy two.

Stand here with the clue on your right.

If a cyclist passes, please be polite.

The container is 190 feet away,

Towards the sun at the break of day.

It is nestled in a clump of trees,
At a height just below one's knees
At a bearing just over ninety degrees.

You'll leave the path ultimately

On public land you will still be.

Please sign the log or use the stamp.

And let me know if anything is damp.

There's room for trackables and things of that kind.

Please do not leave trash behind.

I hope you enjoyed this hybrid cache,

Even though it's not a park and dash.

Spending some time in area enjoying my new grandson. Decided to do some caching while he was napping. Went in search of some non traditional caches for a challenge we’re working on. This was one of them. Luckily not too many people out using trail today. Made the find and was on my way quickly. Thanks for the fun letterbox.

My 17 mile bike ride today took me to this cache at 10:56 am when I made the find. Thanks for the cache and for making my route more fun!

This was my favorite find today. I didn't realize when I arrived at GZ that it would take me on such a fun adventure. I made one wrong turn at first but then figured it out ans nabbed the cache. Thanks for the fun one!

Made a brisk walk out to this one. It was larger then expected! I’m one step closer to my letterbox goal. Thank you for the LB!

I added a challenge by running to the cache from my house, about 6 miles round trip. For me, the final was 172 feet at 121 degrees from SW1072. Thank you for the creative offset cache. Thank you for placing this cache and helping to keep our recreation going.

So I didn't have to wait long for someone to FTF so that I could log this. Maybe we will end up with a "letterbox trail" down through here. Fills a square for a challenge (but not the one that I wanted it to). Most miraculous thing was that the CO actually published this before the next Ice Age struck (go Global Warming!). TFTC!

[FTF] 2-14-2019 at 6:51 am. I saw this letter box come out last night and it was killing me not to grab it then. After waking up this morning I decided to come out and see if anyone else was able to resist urge for an early f t f. I made the journey followed the instructions and found the container which is well sized. TSTC!
