Geocache Description:


I Found All The FIRST New Hampshire Caches

 

Here is a challenge cache that is an alternative or a jump start to GC1JM3Y, I Found All The Caches In New Hampshire. However, that challenge is quite an undertaking. So this challenge makes for a nice start.

 

Your quest is to finish all the caches hidden in New Hampshire in the year 2000 and 2001. A total of 1 cache in 2000 and 26 caches in 2001 (as of December 2008). Ah, the time when the reviewer wasn’t constantly working. This will get you out there and help you enjoy the older caches that were hidden when our game was in it’s infancy.

RULES

Rule 1

Verification. If you know that you have completed the requirements, please email me and make me aware. I will then review all the logs of all the caches published before your start date and verify your entries. Please be patient, this will take little while.

Rule 2
Name Changes. If, over the course of your caching history, you have changed your caching name and/or have split from a team, this rule applies to you. The logs of your old name or team name will not count. Only the finds in your new name will count. I will once again, review all the logs of all the caches published before your start date and verify your current name is present.

Rule 3
Disabled Caches. If a cache is temporarily disabled (for whatever reason), please wait until repairs are made and the cache activated before attempting a find. If a cache is archived you can remove it from your to do list.

 

Here is a quick way to verify what you need to do. Go to MY ACCOUNT and now click on NEWEST IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. Go to the last page. This shows you the oldest caches out there. If you don't see a red check mark here, then you have some caching to do. If there is a checkmark here, go to the next to last page and verify that page and so on.

 There is another way using pocket queries that you can use to see what you have left to do.

Run a pocket query for all caches that I HAVEN'T FOUND from your ZIP CODE and make sure you click only in NEW HAMPSHIRE and also expand your range to 500 miles instead of 100 that is default. Now, at the bottom of the query you will have to tell it to search by date hidden. Choose June 1, 2000 to December 31, 2001.

THE CACHE: The cache is an ammo box hidden in the style of an older quality cache. It has a log book, pens and pencils, and some nice trade items. It is located eight tenths of a mile from parking as the crow flies. Your mileage may vary. The cache is located at the coordinates posted. Please feel free to visit the cache whenever you are in the neighborhood and sign in. However, you may not log online until your finds have been verified. Please feel free to post notes to let us know your progress.
