DO NOT PARK ON BROADWAY! Park at either of the parking spots listed below. 

Go to the posted coordinates and throw some Pooh Sticks in the water. Pooh isn't a fan of bees, but that's the stamp in the letterbox, so bees are the theme!

Now for the letterbox.

Bees use the sun as a reference in their internal compass, so put on your bee thinking cap and head south/southwest. When the trail splits, buzz down the curving path that somewhat heads west (right).

Bees love pine trees not for their protein-poor pollen but for the sap.  Count the evergreen trees on the left. Between the fifth and sixth tree, head north down the slope to a large cottonwood tree. The "beehive" is at the bottom of a "wise" tree. Please make sure to recover it.

I scavenged this container from an archived cache.

DO NOT TAKE THE STAMP OR THE INKPAD!  Then it will just be a boring cache, and we always need more letterboxes!

Great letterbox! No trouble following the instructions. Lots of evidence of high water at the start, but the finish was dry. Thanks for the smiley!

I teamed up with GotYour6 and FayColSalTom after today's event. We targeted different cache types, D/Ts, and a couple things that just happened to be along the way. Got to catch up with good friends as we took a few walks, and got to remember how much our caching skills complement each other. Signed most logs with abbreviated versions of our handles. Had a great afternoon of fun and adventure!

Excellent letterbox! Favorite point given. Caching with FayColSalTom and LaSouthPaw after the local event.

Signing some challenges as we come across them and will log them when we can confirm our qualifications.

Some of our logs are signed GY6/FCST to save space.

Thank you turtleboy29 for creating and maintaining this cache for us to find.

First to DNF. Followed the directions. Looked around. Expanded search. Signs of high water from the recent storms. No cache I could spot.

A different approach to a letterbox! Almost went the wrong way, but it ended up being a quick find. Signed and stamped log. Thanks for a fun one. Earns a fav.

I enjoy letterboxes whether or not they are at the coords. It's even more fun when the adventure is guided with clear instructions. Like this one. Here is your actual favorite point. Not sure why it doesn't show one yet.
Today we spent the morning with family and then headed out to find a few caches in the later afternoon. We saw a few hawks and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Nice first day of May.
Thanks for the cache!

I had seen this one pop up earlier today, and when I got off work, saw that it had not been found yet. I went over and was happy to find a true LB where you have to follow instructions to get to the actual location. Found the cache and an empty log. My 3rd first to find in three days and second on a letter box. It gets a favorite from me. TFTC. On to the next.
