Cache is at the coordinates above, but you are only invited to log a 'found it log' when you have completed the challenge requirement below.
CHALLENGE: You must find caches on Vancouver Island which have cache titles that begin with each of the letters of the alphabet.
You must find one cache that begins with 'A' such as "Amber's Cache" one that begins with 'B' such as "Black Bear" and so on.
You must create a list of the 26 caches you've found on Vancouver Island, with titles starting with the each of the 26 letters from 'A' to 'Z'.
A bookmark list is an excellent way to do this!
To claim a 'Found it' log you must provide a link to your list or the list itself in your log.
The list may include any of the following seven different cache types:
Earthcache, Letterbox Hybrid, Multi-cache, Mystery, Traditional, Virtual and Wherigo.
No other cache types may be included in the list.
Difficulty on the find here is probably a ~ 1.5, the cache is rated 3.5 for the 26 other finds.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What if a cache name starts with "A" or "The"?
A. You'll find that it will then alphabetize as "A" and "T".
Q. What if it begins with a number like '1'?
A. Then it does not count because numbers and symbols are not letters. Sing 'The ABC's song' if you are thinking that numbers and symbols are letters!
Q. What if a cache names begins with "punctuation or symbols" like "", ~!*(), etc?
A. If you would say the cache name the same without the punctuation/symbol then you can disregard the punctuation/symbol and use the first letter.
Eg: '~~Kooky Kache~~' is a 'K' because it is still reads as 'Kooky Kache'.
'@ the corner' would be read as 'at the corner' so you can't use the T in 'the'.
Q. Do they have to be new finds, found after the published date of this cache?
A. Yes they have to be new finds, found after the date this cache was hidden.
They can be caches that become archived as long as they were active at the time they were found.
Of course this will give an advantage to, and encourage cachers who have lots of caches left to find on Vancouver Island!!
Q. What if the cache coordinates for a Multi-cache or a Mystery are listed on Vancouver Island but the final point is not on Vancouver Island?
A. If the listed coordinates are on the Island then the cache is considered to be a Vancouver Island cache.
However if the listed coordinates are elsewhere, the cache will not count regardless of where the final point is.
Q. Can I claim a find on a cache that I own?
A. No, you can not claim a find on a cache owned by you or a cache hidden under an account name that you own.
Q. Does this cache count as a find for the letter "V"?
A. No, sorry but you can not claim a find on this cache until you have completed the other 26 required finds.

About this Cache:
It is nestled in the top of a stump. There are several signature trading items from Vancouver Island cachers that we have collected over the years include a couple of oldies from the Cyberchasers collection that we won at HAG5.
Good luck and Happy Caching!
