Geocache Description:

Welcome to "Challenge Alley". This cache is accessible from the bike trail.

 

The cache IS at the posted coordinates!

 

Please read the description below for logging requirements.

This challenge is NOT ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS but the adventure that Geocaching provides its participants.

 

Below is a 5 x 5 grid – a BINGO card – with various geocaching activities. Complete all five in a row, column, diagonal, or I’ll even allow four corners plus the middle. Post a “Found It” log with the information providing proof for the five activities. Note that most items have specific logging requirement as listed on the "Rules" card below the BINGO card.  The owner will have fun verifying the information, and then will post a note confirming completion of the challenge.  Verifications that require referencing a past find or other log will be questioned if the original log has been edited, so safer not to do so.

Some misc rules:

  • No logs on your own caches count (Unless logged prior to an adoption or for an event that YOU hosted)
  • No "Sock Puppet" accounts can be used for this challenge for event logging requirements

One other rule – each winner must take a different "bingo" line than was used during the prior three completions. So if a cacher completes the diagonal line from upper left to lower right, then three other lines must be completed before this sequence is used again. This rule does not limit the ultimate number of finders, just spreads around the challenge so same set of five tasks are not the only ones used.  I added this tracker for your convenience.  It shows the last few lines that were found and when they can be used again.  Please make sure to verify with the last few "found it" logs as I may not always be able to keep it current.  I will update the guide as often as possible and it will include an "updated" date so it will be easier to compare to the last "found it" log for accuracy.

The cache container is not hidden with any difficulty except for the moderate walk or easy bike ride to the location.  Any logs by folks not properly completing the challenge will be immediately deleted.

The cache owner also reserves the right to change any activity if problems are found.

Idea for this cache is a compilation of other BINGO inspired caches
