Geocache Description:

Remember when you used to eat alphabet soup and tried to find all of the letters of the alphabet? Can you find 26 New York caches beginning with the letters A-Z that you have already found?

The log is located in the Baldwinsville Public Library during regular hours. Please sign after going to the coordinates to get the exact location of the book and after logging your caches. Requirement #1 Successfully log a find on a New York cache that begins with each of the 26 alphameric characters, i.e., A-Z. Only the first character of the cache name is used, as follows: A Rosey Outlook => A The Window => T 115 => 1 !!SMILE!! => ! (Not a valid cache) "3378" => " (Not a valid cache) Note that you may NOT use caches you own (even if you found them some time ago and have since adopted them) and that all caches must still be active, i.e., NOT archived, at the time you log your find on this cache in order to count towards the requirements of this cache. Since cache names can sometimes change, be sure that the names still fit the requirement you are trying to fulfill as of the date you log your find. Requirement #2 To document your successful completion of the challenge, you will need to create a list of the 26 caches found using one of two methods: 1) Include the list in your log entry using the following format: Y - Cache Name - GC_____ - Date Found Z - Cache Name - GC_____ - Date Found Thanks to Arizona's AZ Tech for his help and advice (GC1CDZK), Minnesota (GC182QM), Washington (GCYP7T), and Utah (GC15Y83). Also thanks to Meg Van Patten at the Baldwinsville Public Library for her full cooperation. Congratulations to Btie58 who was able to complete the task with only part of the directions!! Great job and Happy Caching!!!
