Geocache Description:

According to ancient mythology, Heracles was required to perform 12 labors; to qualify to find this cache, you will need to walk in his footsteps! Do you have the strength and courage to tackle this daunting task?

In order to log a 'find' for this cache, you must first complete a series of 12 labors; but they are not just any 12 labors! Each labor involves completing one puzzle cache published by Team GreenWoodTurner.

Here’s the process that you will have to follow to complete this challenge:

  1. Create a public bookmark called “The Twelve Labors of GreenWoodTurner"
  • Include this cache in your bookmark; it does not count toward the 12 labors you must complete.
  • Keep this bookmark public for a minimum of 3 months after completing the challenge.
  1. Successfully find and log 12 different GreenWoodTurner puzzle caches.
  • After each puzzle cache has been completed, add it to your bookmark list; in the bookmark comment associated with each cache, include the date you found the cache.
  1. Once you complete your 12 labors, you are free to go log the final cache (which actually is at the listed coordinates). Once I see your log entry, I will use your bookmark list to verify that you have actually met the requirements for completing this challenge. If I encounter a problem, your log entry will be deleted, and I will notify you as to why I did it.

We hope that you enjoy this challenge we have devised! Some of you have already solved 12 or more of our puzzles, so to level the playing field (sort of), there is one more additional rule: of the twelve puzzle caches you must complete, 9 of them can be of your own choosing; however, the other 3 must include the following 3 caches:

  1. GC1NVMR - The Ultimate Gift
  2. GC1NVKT - The Bermuda Triangle
  3. GC19J3H - Corvallis 2626-Step Dance

Failure to complete any of the 3 required caches will prevent you from getting approval to log this challenge cache. Good luck!

There are 3 $1 coins in the cache ... one for each of the first 3 people to complete the challenge.

ONE IMPORTANT NOTE:The cache can be easily reached from the parking lot - but because the landscape has grown a bit over the years, you WILL need to search through the juniper bush a bit ... but you DON'T need to climb on the rocks! You'll have an easier time finding the cache container (which is hidden under the sprinkler valve cover), if you get down on your knees! The container is hidden in the planting bed ... on the south side of the crosses.

The container has room for small trading items.

The greenery in the planting bed has pretty well obscured the sprinkler valve cover; so please gently move aside the plants to get at the cache container.


Update on 10/23/2011: Unfortunately, I had to archive GC19QDA (The Evil of all Sums), which had been included in the list of required caches for this challenge.


Update on 3/30/2016: Unfortunately, I had to archive GC1NVNC (Time To Read A Really Good Book), which had been included in the list of required caches for this challenge.


Update on 8/31/2019: Unfortunately, I had to archive GC1NMQE (Please talk nicely ... thanks!), which had been included in the list of required caches for this challenge.
