Those were the days. You walked home from school for lunch everyday. Mom had hot soup, a sandwich, and a glass of milk waiting for you. A favorite was alphabet soup. I know folks who would try to find all 26 letters and also spell words. Well, now you can create a soup of caches you have found, one beginning with each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Read on...

 

An Alphabet Soup Challenge for Alabama

 

The challenge:  to find a cache within the State of Alabama beginning with each letter of the alphabet. No hides will be accepted.

 

To complete this cache:

 

1.

Create a public bookmark called "An Alphabet Soup Challenge":
   
 

-

Include this cache in your bookmark; since you haven’t found it yet, it doesn’t count – you need another “A” cache
  - Keep this bookmark public for a minimum of 3 months after completing the challenge, OR, for non-Premium members, send me your list of caches or post them on this page as a note.
  - Include one Alabama State cache you have found for each letter of the alphabet
     
 

2.

Successfully find and log a physical cache beginning with each letter of the alphabet.  The letter must be the first letter of the cache name. Traditional, multi, mystery, virtual, webcam, Earth, and Whereigo are acceptable; just no locationless, traveling, or event caches. Archived and disabled caches count. As long as you found the cache, logged a smiley, and it was within the state, it counts. Examples:
   
  - Zwagadyff = Z
  - The Rambler Cache = T
  - Rambler's Evil Micro = R
  - “X” Marks the Spot 2 = X
  - A “Crazy” House? = A
  - 1 Easter Egg = 1, so it doesn’t count for anything!
  - Eighty-Four Home for Wayward Travel Bugs= E

A look at your alphabetized bookmark list will indicate whether or not you have each letter

 
  3. The coordinates at the top of the page will take you to the final cache. If you did not complete the requirements before finding the cache, your log WILL be deleted.
