Thank you to Baldin' Eagle for
This easy way to generate a list with GSAK.
Those were
the days. You walked home from school for lunch everyday. Mom had
hot soup, a sandwich, and a glass of milk waiting for you. My
favorite was alphabet soup. I would try to find all 26 letters and
also spell words. Mom didn’t serve it often. She said that I
dawdled too much and it got cold. (no microwaves back then) Well,
now you can create a soup of caches you have found, one beginning
with each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Read on...
| An Alphabet Soup Challenge |
 |
The
challenge: to find a Cache beginning with each letter of
the alphabet.
To complete this
cache:
| |
1.
|
Create a list of caches
which includes one cache you have found for each of the 26 letters
in the alphabet, ( the cache name must start with that
letter. ) |
| |
|
| |
-
|
This cache, since you
haven’t found it yet, it doesn’t count – you will
need another “A” cache. |
| |
- |
You may wish to use a
"Bookmark list," a feture available to Premium Members of
Geocaching.com, if so you can make it 'Public' and allow others to
enjoy your list as you build it. |
| |
- |
Weather or not you use a
bookmark list, you must post your list in a log on the cache page
in the following format :
A -
Cache Name - GCXXXX - Date
Found
B -
Cache Name - GCXXXX - Date
Found
C -
Cache Name - GCXXXX - Date
Found
D -
Cache Name - GCXXXX - Date
Found
etc....
|

And remember, most
important, HAVE FUN! This is a game. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
2.
|
Successfully find and log
a cache beginning with each letter of the alphabet. The
letter must be the first letter of the cache name.
Examples: |
| |
|
| |
- |
Zebra Stripes =
Z |
| |
- |
The Zebra's Stripes =
T |
| |
- |
Extra Zebras =
E |
| |
- |
Xtra Zebra Stripes =
X |
| |
- |
“Blurry Zebra
Stripes” = ", so it
doesn’t count for anything! |
| |
- |
1 More Striped Zebra = 1,
so it doesn’t count for anything! |
| |
- |
One More Zebra Stripe =
O |
|
One nice thing about using
a "Bookmark List" is that it automatically alphabatizes the list,
so a look at your alphabetized bookmark list will indicate whether
or not you have each letter.

The posted coordinates are
the location of the cache, anyone is welcome to visit, sign the
log, take or leave trackable, etc... but no one may log a "Found
it" on the cache page without having their 26-letter list posted in
a log. |
