Geocache Description:

This is a Mystery Cache. Going to the given coordinates won't help you at all—but drive by anyway, and wave. We'd love to see you!

That's right, boys and girls, it's time to play Cache-INGO!

Yes, it's Cache-INGO!—the game where M&J shamelessly promote their new caches by publishing a Master Cache that requires you to—you guessed it—find them!!

Awesome!!

And check this out—some of them count, some of them don't, and you don't get to know which is which!!! Yowza!!! Are these guys a barrel of laughs or what??

But the best part is the reward. Hold on to your hats and seats, here it comes!—if you're one of the first ten finders, then after all that driving, tromping, searching, puzzling, solving and logging, you will get—YOUR NAME ON THIS PAGE!!!^* Yes, you heard it right! Your VERY OWN NAME, right here on THIS VERY PAGE, probably in an annoying bold font like this, personally entered for you by M&J!! An unbelievable one-time offer!!^**

So what are you waiting for? Go!, Go!, GO!!, before they come to their senses, or another cache hound beats you to it!

Are you in your car yet?

^*Eventually, that is. Whenever they get around to it.
^**Exclamation points sold separately.

OK, here's the deal. First, go find "Pick a Card, Any Card..." (GC27N9Y), where we have placed a stack of Cache-INGO! cards. Each one is unique. Take a card (please, only one per account). Post a note here (not a find!) with the serial number of your card, so we know you're in the hunt (and so we can keep an eye on you...).

Then...go do some serious caching! There are 31 new caches in this challenge, not counting the card stash (the full list is below). Each will have a number prominently displayed in the log. If that number appears on your card, you get to mark it off, just like in BINGO. If the number you find doesn't appear on your card, well, at least you get a smiley. Once you have a Cache-INGO!, you can log a find here.

The standard rules of BINGO apply, except that the center is not free—you have to earn it just like any other square (don't worry about getting a tough card; they all have the more difficult caches at the intersections). And don't expect immediate success: your chances of scoring a Cache-INGO! are pretty thin until you start getting close to 20 caches (see below, and yes, it is accurate, and yes, M is a geek):

And if you carry on and fill in every spot on your card, you have a BLACK-OUT, which means two things:

1. You are awesome, and...
2. You can log a SECOND find here!!

The caches in this series run the gamut. There are some C&D's, devious micros, peculiar puzzles, a couple of multi-caches (with on-site challenges of course!), traditional L&L's, camouflaged ammo cans full of swag, and some odd things here and there that you probably haven't seen before. We've made sure that each card requires you to get a good sampling of all of them (it was a long cold winter, and we had a lot of ideas). Each cache can be logged independently.
