Geocache Description:

As of November 30, 2017 the cache is at the posted coordinates.

Before they invented Caps Lock on your keyboard, there was Shift Lock on my typewriter.  Shift Lock allowed you to type all of the capital letters, plus everything on the top of the double-purpose keys.  Here's a challenge based on finding caches using 45 of the 47 letters and symbols my keyboard would have if it had Shift Lock.


For purposes of this challenge, you must find a cache with the following letters or characters in the cache name.  The cache name does not need to start with the letter or character.  However, you can only use one letter or character per cache name.  I will allow you to skip any 2 of them, since this is a pretty hard challenge.  The letters and characters are

~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ +

Q W E R T Y U I O P { } |

A S D F G H J K L : "

Z X C V B N M < > ?

For example, if you found a cache named Where Is It? - you could use it for W I or ? - but only one of them.

For another example, a cache named $5 or Bust - you could use $ or B - but not both.

I'm curious if you can do it with only New Hampshire caches.

Don't even ask about all those other symbols you can insert into caches. They don't count.

Update 1/8/18 - I've changed the coordinates to reflect the actual location of the cache. The actual location has a 1/1 rating. And I've added a checker to make it easier to see how close you are to qualifying.
