This was originally planted in 1999 as a letterbox. Today we updated it to a
combination geocache/letterbox. That stamp is for letterboxers.
This is a very easy hunt but my kids loved it.
I'm not sure what date they turned it into a cache too, but about April 2001
was their first find on it. For my Dead Man's Chest cache I set the date for
that to something like 1901 but changed it so it would show up on the new
caches page.
