How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

A 35mm film can inside a FCW pot to keep contents dry. The cache is not at the listed location, which happens to be a convenient round number.


This is a puzzle challenge. The puzzle is fairly simple (there is a hint). The challenge is wordy.

Before you may log this cache you must have found other caches whose GC code includes properly spelt English words. For example GC1HEMW in Groningen in the Netherlands includes the word HEM, a sewing term. Hem is a 3 letter word, you get the length of the word less 1 point for each word, so in this case it would be 2 points. In order to log this cache you must have accumulated 10 points with no words repeated and no multiple use of a series. When you log your find, please list the GC codes you are claiming along with the date you found them.

Found it logs not meeting these criteria will be deleted.

Use collins dictionary's word checker. (Should it make a difference, use the extended version.)

Once the first half dozen finders have logged, I'll post a note listing my personal 10(+) points.

And the "First To Find" was Mario McTavish, congratulations.

Good hunting. You may also be interested in my other caches.

Please only log a find if you have signed the log. If you haven't, try adding a "write note" instead. Thanks.
