Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS LOCATED ON STATE GAME LANDS PLEASE WEAR THE APPROPRIATE ORANGE ATTIRE


I wanted to do something special for my 50th cache hide and stumbled on cache GC2ECWB. Thought this would make a perfect challenge cache with a few changes. This cache IS located at the posted coordinates but in order to log a find you must complete the challenge requirements.


****************** Challenge Requirements ******************

To complete this challenge you must collect 150 points worth of
"Lonely" caches. The following will give you the cache
ratings:

Caches with NO finds for at least 12 months previous of your log
= 20 points.

Caches with NO finds for at least 9 months previous of your log
= 15 points.

Caches with NO finds for at least 6 months previous of your log
= 10 points.

Caches with NO finds for at least 3 months previous of your log
= 5 points.

(20 points will be the maximum number of points given for any 1
cache.)

You may find caches in any combination, as long as they total a minimum of 150 points. Cache finds you have made in the past will count as long as they meet all other requirements. As an extra challenge try completing the challenge with caches you find after this cache is published. You may use cache finds within the state of Pennsylvania only. Unknown, Virtual and Multi caches that go across state borders will count if the posted coordinates are in Pennsylvania. No refinding of previous finds or altered find dates will be accepted.

**************************************************************

When logging this cache please list your "Lonely" finds with a bookmark including find date and points. You can also post your "Lonely" finds in your found it log as follows:
