CACHE IS AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!
So you’ve successfully completed the Indiana Epic 92 (GC13054), you’ve mapped your way through the DeLorme Challenge (GC14PRK) and you’ve even aced the required puzzles for the Indiana’s Bakers Dozen (GC1ANWK). Now you are sitting there with nothing to do, right? We’ve jumped on the Challenge bandwagon and created this cache just for you!
This challenge is to find one cache for each letter of the alphabet (i.e. A = A Shell of a Bell (GCY6PZ), B = bUs stop - Penney's (GC1979X), C = Cache Reserve (GCYNX8). You don’t have to do them in any particular order. You don’t even have to do them all in Indiana. The only requirement is you do one cache for each letter of the alphabet. To make this a true challenge, caches must start with the actual letter it is representing. As in the example: "A Shell of a Bell" would only count for the letter "A". Therefore, "The X Marks the Spot" would only count for the letter "T" not "X".
Can’t find a cache in your area for a particular letter? Then you’ll either have to travel a distance or place one! You must follow all the normal guidelines required by Geocaching.com to place a cache and make it accessible to everyone then you can claim that letter of the alphabet.
See? That’s not going to be difficult. Now is it? You might not even have to use very much gas if you plan it right. All it will take is a bit of searching (and/or hiding) and record keeping.
Below are the guidelines.
1. Find a cache for each letter of the alphabet. (see examples given above)
2. Not a cache in your area for a particular letter? Publish one following the Geocaching.com guidelines.
3. All finds do not have to be in Indiana.
4. Traditional, multi, unknown, virtual, webcam, earthcaches, Whereigo – all count
5. No finds before the published date of this cache (June 26, 2008) will count.
6. Once you have completed all the requirements, you must send your list of finds to Fishersfinders-cachingkaren@gmail.com or Los Lacos-mcouden@frontier.com. Your list can be in any form - GSAK, Excel, Word, Notepad... You may seek the cache once you have completed the challenge but we reserve the right to delete any logs that don't meet all the cache requirements.
The actual container is a film canister with a log sheet only so you will need to bring your own pencil. There is only room for small trinkets.
Happy Caching!!!
