This cache is to get some geocachers from Ohio to meet some geocachers from ALaska...virtually of course. Can you find all the stages yourself...sure. But that would be expensive and you wouldn't make a new friend. Through the process of making this cache, I have talked with Eagle618. She placed the Alaskan stage and will be maintaining it. If theres is a problem with that stage, please post a note for her!
The following are the rules...copied and adjusted from bennet's five stae multi state cache:
1. None of the two geocachers working on a team can enter an on-line find log until that team completes the cache by finding the third stage.
2. The Ohio geocacher must identify, in his/her on-line log, the Alaskan geocacher who he/she teamed up with.
3. Geocachers can play only once. Tom cannot team up with Sue to complete the cache, and then later team up with another group to complete the cache again.
4. Only one Ohio geocacher per team. The Ohio geocacher who found the first stage must be the same Ohio geocacher who finds the third stage. This helps make sure there are enough Ohio geocachers to man multiple teams.
5. Please be careful with this part. Coordinate closely as a team, and please be careful to not leave somebody hanging. For example, an Ohio geocacher should not provide coordinates to multiple Alaskan geocachers simultaneously, even in an attempt to complete it first. By doing that, somebody will get left hanging, and that's not fun.
6. It is okay to contact multiple people to start, but once you have provided coordinates to someone, that someone is your selection. You should not provide coordinates to another person in that area. It would be considerate to let the others that you contacted but will not select know that you won't be selecting them.
7. It is fully intended for any team that attempts this cache to complete the motions and find all the stages within the team. Players must not provide any coordinates to anyone else outside their own team…even AFTER completing the cache.
8. Eagle618 CANNOT be on the FTF or STF team! After that feel free to contacter her for the coordinates...well she DID place it!
9. BOTH the Ohio AND the Alaskan geocachers can claim a SMILEY once the THIRD STAGE has been found by the Ohio geocacher. Note to the Ohio cacher: please sign the Alaskan cacher's name next to yours.
10. HAVE FUN!!!!
NOTE:The pictures on this cache page were of where the second stage USED to be...it is no longer as while I was setting up the first stage, a cache popped up within 100 feet!
8/11/11 UPDATE: The final is now a micro. When you get the coordinates for the final you'll be like WHAT?!?!?! A micro in the WOODS!!!! But don't worry. Act like you are looking for a regular sized cache and you will easily find it.
