Geocache Description:


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. My favorite was alphabet soup. I would try to find all 26 letters and also spell words. Mom didn’t serve it often. She said that I dawdled too much and it got cold. (no microwaves back then) 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... The challenge: to find a Cache beginning with each letter of the alphabet IN IDAHO. To complete this cache: 1. Create a list of caches which includes one cache you have found for each of the 26 letters in the alphabet in IDAHO, ( the cache name must start with that letter. ) - This cache, since you haven’t found it yet, it doesn’t count – you will need another “A” cache. - You may wish to use a "Bookmark list," a feture available to Premium Members of Geocaching.com, if so you can make it 'Public' and allow others to enjoy your list as you build it. - Weather or not you use a bookmark list, you must post your list in a log on the cache page in the following format : A - Cache Name - GCXXXX - Date Found B - Cache Name - GCXXXX - Date Found C - Cache Name - GCXXXX - Date Found D - Cache Name - GCXXXX - Date Found etc.... - And remember, most important, HAVE FUN! This is a game. 2. Successfully find and log a cache beginning with each letter of the alphabet. 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” = ", so it doesn’t count for anything! - 1 More Striped Zebra = 1, so it doesn’t count for anything! - One More Zebra Stripe = O One nice thing about using a "Bookmark List" is that it automatically alphabatizes the list, so a look at your alphabetized bookmark list will indicate whether or not you have each letter. Caches you have placed count as long as they were placed before the publication date of this cache. The posted coordinates are the location of the cache, anyone is welcome to visit, sign the log, take or leave trackable, etc... but no one may log a "Found it" on the cache page without having their 26-letter list posted in a log. 3. YOU MUST FIND THE PHYSICAL CACHE AT THE COORDINATES AND SIGN THE LOG BOOK. ***Congratulations to will4088 on FTF***
