Geocache Description:

The cachers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area have been busy working on
various Challenge caches. These are fun to do but, why should they
have all the fun? So borrowing from my friend, TXOilGas I submit
this Central Texas Challenge Cache based on one of the first things
we teach our kids, the ABCs.

Here is your chance to meld the ABCs with Geocaching-

To claim this cache, you need to find and log 26 other caches, one for each letter of the alphabet. All caches must be found in the Central Texas Counties listed below ON or AFTER 1 January 1,2009. Qualifying caches may be in the following counties: Travis,Williamson, Burnet, Bastrop and Hays.
Here’s the process that you will have to follow to complete this Challenge:

1. Create a public bookmark called “Central Texas ABC Challenge”: Include this cache in your bookmark since you haven’t found it yet, it doesn’t count – you will need another “C” cache

2. Keep this bookmark public for a minimum of 1 month after completing the challenge.

3. Include one qualifying cache you have found for each letter of the alphabet
in the cache bookmark comments, include the date you found the
cache. Caches found before January 1, 2009 will not qualify for this Challenge.
Successfully find and log caches the names of which begin with each letter of the alphabet. All caches except locationless qualify.
Examples: The first letter in the title of the cache is the
qualifying letter.
Acquiring Satellites=A
Demise of a Dot Com=D
'20th' Hole= does not qualify for this challenge cache!
Twenth Century=T
A look at your alphabetized bookmark list will indicate if you have each letter.

4. The posted coordinates are correct. But do not go there until you have completed the entire alphabet.

5. This cache has been given this particular difficulty ranking because I have no idea which caches you may choose to do for this challenge, it will take some time to complete, and some planning as well.
The cache is hidden in Downtown Austin, a high muggle area. Parking during business hours will be difficult. Weekend parking will be better except one morning. Take your camera.. GZ offers some nice photo opportunities.

I hope you enjoy this twist to our mutual hobby/passion/obsession.
Cache On!
