Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Do not go looking for the cache at the listed coords! Otherwise you might get hit by a speeding Mack truck.
The goal of this cache is find a cache on each and every block of each and every page of the ADC Howard county, Maryland edition street map book. You can find these maps at gas stations and convienence stores. You should have a current version (not from 1980 or something). The final cache coordinates can be obtained by successfully finding a cache in each page of the Map book (16 valid pages and sections in all). Maps in the book are numbered 1-20.
In order to claim this cache, I need a bookmark list containing cache name, corresponding map number, and coordinates. I will the review the list verifying each page needed. Once everything checks out, I will then send you the correct coordinates for the final cache! The find cannot be logged until the physical container is found and the logbook inside signed.
This cache is similar to the Maryland Deleware DeLorme Challenge, but much smaller in scale. This cache only involves one county.
A note on the final cache. It is a good cache in and of itself. Somewhat challenging, acrobatic moves required. I would rate it as a 3/3.5.
Current guidelines (June 29, 2008):
1. As mentioned above, the posted coordinates are not the actual coordinates for the cache.The actual cache may actually be quite some distance from these coordinates. The final cache container is located in Howard County.
2. Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply. These must be bona fide caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally (physically) found and logged. You may include caches found prior to the creation of the Howard County ADC Challenge so long as they meet all other Challenge requirements.
3. Cache hides will not count toward the Challenge.
4. All cache types count as finds or hides for the ADC Challenge with the exception of Locationless, Event and CITO caches.
5. Only caches in the Howard County portions count. We will use the GC maps to determine which county a cache falls.
6. Map pages -- seems to not have caches on them, so they will not count against you if you have posted your progress to this page before a cache gets placed on one of those pages.
7. While you may have others with you when you find the final cache, only those who have fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache will be allowed to log it as a find. Find logs by other cachers will be deleted.
8. If you have any questions, comment, complaints or concerns, please email the cache owner. All decisions by the cache owner are final and binding.
