The Challenge: to find a Louisiana cache beginning with each letter of the alphabet, but with a twist. The state is broken up into 5 separate areas and you must get 5 caches from each area. Now the 26th letter can be picked up from any area of your choosing

Needless to say only logged caches you find between 1/1/09 and 12/31/10 can be used. Once the alphabet is complete, posted and bookmarked, you can then proceed to the final cache "LA Alphabet Challenge 09/10" Find it, Log it on or before 12/31/10 and Claim you over earned Smiley!

Create a public bookmark called "LA ABC": Include this cache in your bookmark(LA Alphabet Challenge 09/10); since you haven’t found it yet, it doesn’t count – you will need another “L” cache - Keep your bookmark public for a minimum of 3 months after completing the challenge - Include one Louisiana cache you have found for each letter of the alphabet - In the bookmark cache comments, include the date you found and the section you found it in the cache code from GC.com. Be sure and check the box to make this list Public!

2. Find and Log 26 caches between 1/1/09 and 12/31/10, one for each letter of the alphabet, according to the rules that have been laid out below.

3. The Rules of the Game! (no events) The letter must be the first letter of the cache name.

Examples: - Zebra Stripes = Z - The Zebra's Stripes = T – Extra Zebras = E - Xtra Zebra Stripes = X - “Blurry Zebra Stripes” = B - 1 More Striped Zebra = 1, so it doesn’t count for anything! – One More Zebra Stripe = O A look at your alphabetized bookmark list will indicate at a glance whether or not you have each letter.
