Geocache Description:


The cache is hidden at the above-listed coordinates. In order to log this cache, you must first find 26 caches based on their GC numbers, as explained below.

**********LOGGING REQUIREMENTS**********
You have probably noticed that GC identification numbers are a mixture of letters and numerals. Your job is to find 26 caches, each with a three or four letter word spelled out in its GC number, the words spanning A thru Z. These words must be common words which can be found in the "American Heritage College Dictionary"....no slang, no names of people or places, and no foreign words.

There are no "X" words available, so in this case simply find a cache with a double X in its GC number. You may use zero to stand for the letter "O," the numeral "1" to stand for "i" and for "l," the letter "V" to stand for "U", and the numeral "5" to stand for the letter "S." There is no time limited involved with finding these caches, you may already have found them. When logging, please list your requisite caches as shown below.
