Tink's Butterfly Box

Our last cache of the day was a Geocache-Letterbox Hybrid.  There is a very similar past time to geocaching known as letterboxing.  The big difference is that letterboxes contain a stamp that you use to stamp a passport of some kind.  The goal is to collect lots of different stamps. This box would be listed on both websites and contains both a stamp and geocaching-type swag.

As it was a "Tinkerbell Butterfly" box, the stamp was appropriately of a butterfly and most of the swag was decidedly girly.  Nora was in heaven.

This cache also had fun, and very descriptive, directions:
The listed coordinates are now for the trailhead/parking. You can park near the trailhead at the NO OUTLET sign. I hope you don't get "two tired" as you go down the rather steep, but short hill. After you walk a few paces you may be surprised by what you see on your right. Go through the passage and emerge on the other side. Once out, take the trail to the paved walking trail. You will see a sign that concerns the 2nd Amendment. From here, walk about 40 paces (in this instance, we'll use 3ft for one pace) south on the paved trail. Look for a stump just a few feet off the trail on the right. The letterbox is behind it. Watch for sticker bushes.
