Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden in Antigonish County at a lookoff near the Fairmont fire tower. Park at the gated road, head down the trail, go left at the fork and on to the lookoff. Good luck!

What is a Geo-Post Office you might ask. Well, A geo-post office is a cache set up to exchange post cards or letters between cachers!

How does this work?

Caches are placed to hold postcards. Every postcard will have a small message and an address on it. The address will contain the person’s name that your trying to send the card to, a city and most likely a cache. The objective is to move postcards between Geo-Post Offices until they reach their desired location. When you move a postcard or message from one place to another, please let the person who it’s being sent to know where you moved it to because they might be close enough to pick it up. If you move a postcard from one Geo-Post Office to another please move it closer to the city or cache!

Who should I send these postcards or messages to?

Anybody that you want!

What’s the purpose?

It’s another fun thing that we can do with geocaching! It’s also nice to keep in touch with others!

What do I need to put on a postcard?

Put the name of the cacher, a city and you’ll most likely want to put a cache that they can pick it up from. A little message is usally appreciated too.

How far can I send one?

As far as you want as long as there are Geo-Post Offices along the way there!

How Do I send one?

Go to any Geo-Post Office and place your message or postcard in there. Please if your putting one in try to move a different one along.

How Do I start my own Geo-Post Office?

All you need is a cache container, a log book, a stash note, some zip-lock bags and of course postcards or letters to go in it! Put the post cards or messages in the zip-lock and place the log book in another. Make sure to put in the name of the cache “Geo-Post Office” so that others will know. You may even want to include this note on the cache page to introduce new people.

PS: this cache contains only a logbook and postcards when first placed and I must ask that you not leave anything in the cache other than postcards, travel bugs and geocoins.
