This cache is placed for the Haunt in Halmich XII event. All event attendees who chose to find this cache the night of the event are eligible to claim FTF status. In addition, this cache is placed in Halmich Park, a City of Warren Park; caching hours are 7am-10pm.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
A letterbox hybrid cache is based off of letterboxing, which predates geocaching by 150 years. In order to find most letterbox caches, you are required to start at the posted coordinates and follow along the story in the cache description which will lead you to the final container with a logbook and a stamp for you to stamp your personal notebook (again, another adaptation from letterboxing). We decided to mix things up this Haunt in Halmich with several of these letterboxes. Hope you have fun!
All nine letterboxes in Halmich Park revolve around a boy named Josh and his adventures dealing with the ghouls of Haunted Halmich Park. All the letterboxes are numbered in the title based on their location in the park - it is highly recommended to follow them in order (you don't have to start at number one) to make an efficient trip around the park.
Using your GPS, find your way to the posted coordinates to start the letterbox.
Josh, having quite the adventure dealing with the ghouls at Halmich Park, decided to take a seat before continuing on. He checked his phone to see how the Red Wings were doing tonight and noticed in his peripheral vision that a ghost-like figure was approaching him. As this figure got closer, he realized that it wasn't a ghost, it was BSW2010 getting in his daily 45 kilometers! Josh asked Trent if he knew where the cache was, but Trent responded with "I don't know dude, I haven't been caching in seven years, why would I know?". Trent continued on and Josh wished him well in his quest to rack up all the kilometers. Josh looked back up and his eyes locked on some arrows that suggested he follows the sidewalk a certain direction, so he followed them because why not. After the bend in the sidewalk, he came across a big troll saying he couldn't pass, but Josh continued on as the troll was as stationary as a sign! Josh kept walking until he saw a big blue sign with some directions, it was at this point he turned around and noticed he had been walking past a whole bunch of Jolly Green Giants that guard the north side of the park! Josh asked the first Jolly Green Giant in the long line of them if he had the cache, but it responded "nope, but the giant two behind me does, don't let him leave you hanging". Josh went up to the third giant who did, in fact, have the cache.
