The cache is not at the coords
above.
Read below to learn how to find this cache.
In 2004, Haicoole unveiled the
California DeLorme Challenge cache. This cache is a twist on
that idea.
This cache is dedicated to all the hardcore cachers across the
state of Florida. This is for all those people who willing to go
any lengths to get their smiley and to quest after an elusive goal.
The cache reviewers of Florida are proud to post the
Florida Challenge Quests.
North Florida Challenge Quest
South
Florida Challenge Quest
and for those completely committed cachers there's the
ultimate
Florida
Challenge Quest Final
The image above shows the counties that make up the state of
Florida. The blue and green illustrate north and south Florida
counties for the purpose of this Quest.
Florida Quest North and South will work as follows :
In order to claim this cache, you must first find a cache in each
county (25 for South Challenge, 42 for North) (no whining about how
they aren't equal - each Challenge offers the opportunity for a lot
of travel around our beautiful state) using only caches you find
after the posting of the Florida Cache Quest.
Then send the appropriate reviewer a bookmark file containing all
of your finds for that quest. At the minimum a list containing
cache name, waypoint GC ID, date of find.
Your file will be checked out (this may take some time) and you
will then be sent the coordinates for the the appropiate Quest
final. The find cannot be logged until the physical container is
found and the logbook signed.
In the logbooks of the North and South Challenge Caches
you will find a codeword.
Remember it! You'll need both to reveal the secret of The FINAL
Challenge.
Based on feedback from the Challenges in other states, some
guidelines need to be laid out:
1. As mentioned above, the posted coordinates are not the actual
coordinates for the cache.
2. Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging
a cache find apply. These must be bona fide caches listed on
Geocaching.com that you have personally (physically) found in place
and logged. You may use only caches you find after the
posting of the Florida Challenge Quest.
3. All cache types count for the Florida Challenge Quest except
events (CITO included).
4. If cache stages cross county lines, the final coordinates must
be in the county claimed.
5. While you may have others with you when you find the final
cache, only those who have fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache
will be allowed to log it as a find. Find logs by other cachers
will be deleted.
6. When in doubt ask—we can discuss it or even seek guidance
from others, but the final decision rests with the cache
owner.
7. Added 11-05-2007 all county determinations
will be made based on the Mapquest map on the cache
page. Therefore if you are doing a geocache real close
to a county line be careful. Maybe have a backup cache for the
county in question.
Many thanks go out to Haicoole for the original idea for this cache
and to the other cache owners who have taken the idea and run with
it for their own states. And particulary to FloridaCacher, who
initiated the Florida Challenge Quest.
