Geocache Description:


Caching A,B,Z's

A Goal Compilation Cache
This goal compilation cache has two logging requirements in addition to signing the log. You must complete these in order to log the cache.


Logging Requirements
1) Find and create a bookmark list of caches you have found for each letter of the alphabet plus this cache. (Total of 27 entries)
2) Take a picture of you with your handle spelled out and post it with your log.

REQUIREMENT 1: A to Z bookmark list
The bookmark list must be public. This cache must be included on the list, though this cache does not count for "C" and does not have to be "Found" at the time of linking. If the title begins with quotations, use the first letter and not the quotes. For convenience sake, caches beginning with the word "the" will be counted as "T" unless the following word begins with "X" or "Q" (the most difficult letters to get). Please only link completed bookmark lists and not in-progress lists. Caches placed by or adopted by you will also count, but in that case the cache must have been in existence prior to this one being placed. A good cache is a good cache; but I don't want to see people going out and placing one just to fulfill a letter requirement (although others could benefit from your kindness and generosity).

REQUIREMENT 1A: Leveling the playing field
Those who have many caches under their belts may not have trouble with the A to Z requirement. Originally, my intention was to place a time frame on those who had logged 500 or more caches before searching for this. After getting differing opinions from those I asked to "beta" review my description, I came to a different conclusion. I realized some people gather a large amount of caches quickly, while others may take a lot longer to reach a hypothetical number. Therefore; I have decided to leave the field as it is. Any cache that you have logged in the past will count for this requirement. The only time limit on caches is for those you have placed or adopted. They still must have been in place and active prior to March1, 2008.

REQUIREMENT 2: The picture
Inside the final cache are two cases of foam blocks. Do not take the blocks! You must spell your handle with these blocks and take a picture with you and the blocks in it. The blocks must easily be readable. If there are not enough of a certain letter available, please use a piece of paper and write the missing letter in the block's place.

The coordinates and final cache hunt
The final cache has two stages. The first is a micro and the second is a beefy ammo can. Both stages are located in the same park and do not utilize unique or creative hides or require driving to another location. You will not do much walking at all from your car to the first stage. The second stage, depending on your approach, will be a hike of approximately one mile round trip. For those who wish to be FTF, this cache's posted coordinates will take you to the first stage. However, you must first create and link the bookmark list to this cache page before going after the physical cache. You may have to wiggle and jiggle to retrieve the final, it's a tight squeeze.


Additional information
Logs without the pre-requisite bookmark list and/or picture will be deleted.
Just because I didn't see any snakes while scouting or placing this cache, doesn't meant they aren't there. It's safe to assume they may be in the area. Please use caution.
All the times I have been to this location, I have never seen anybody hiking this area; but the four wheelers definitely traverse the area. You should hear them long before you see them. The final is only 20 to 25 feet off the nearest four-wheeler track; but after a rain, parts of the tracks are almost impassable on foot.
