Geocache Description:

A letterbox hybrid hidden on a hill south of Payson. It is only accessible from northbound highway 87. This is a multicache with a field puzzle. In addition to the normal logbook and trade items, it also contains a letterbox stamp, inkpad, and stamp book. Please do not remove the stamp, ink pad, or stamp book. THEY ARE NOT TRADE ITEMS!

"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure"-Motto of Rowena Ravenclaw

The members of Ravenclaw House are known for intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit. While Ravenclaw is the shortest hike, it will take more than plodding through the underbrush to find. To unlock it's treasures, you will need a secret word that can only be determined through intelligent deduction.

Proceed to the posted coordinates, where you will find a small container with the final location, and with the full text of the verse below.

No amount of study or time wasted on silly muggle internet searches prior to seeking Ravenclaw will be of any assistance. Only when you seek Ravenclaw will you know if you are clever enough to unlock its secrets.

Should you succeed, you must seal Ravenclaw exactly as found, to keep those who are unworthy from opening it.

This is a letterbox hybrid. In addition to the normal logbook and trade items, it also contains a letterbox stamp, inkpad, and stamp book. Please do not remove the stamp, ink pad, or stamp book. THEY ARE NOT TRADE ITEMS!
While Ravenclaw House was established by Rowena Ravenclaw, this letterbox was created by a modern Ravenclaw house member. You would do well to make note of his or her name.

Please put the lock back on in this manner to lock it.
