Geocache Description:


NOTE: THE CACHE IS AT
THE POSTED COORDINATES.

However, to log a valid find on this cache, you must complete the challenge described herein. For our 200th milestone hide, we wanted to do something special as a “thank you” to all those cachers who have hunted for our caches. So, here it is! OP’s very own alphabet sOuP challenge . . . (A big THANKS! to solarwib for the idea behind this challenge!)

In addition to finding this cache and signing the log, you must first find and log at least 26 other Odyssey Posse caches—each starting with a different letter of the alphabet (A-Z). We will do our part to make sure that there are always at least 2 active OP caches beginning with each letter of the alphabet. For a complete list of qualifying hides, see the Odyssey Posse Hides bookmark list by clicking on the User’s Web Page link above (just below the cache size) or via the link on the right side of the cache page. To prove your feat, feel free to create a bookmark list, list your qualifying caches in your log, send me a GSAK file, etc.

As for the actual cache, you'll be looking for a matchstick container hidden in an all-too-familiar way in a busy location just off of I-64 at the Ferdinand exit. Make sure to be stealthy! The hide itself is as easy as they get. BYOP.

One final note about the difficulty/terrain rating: the actual hide would merit a 1/1.5, but I made this a 4/4 to reflect the overall challenge. To complete the challenge, you’ll see a lot of Southern Indiana, might do some off-roading, will probably need to solve a puzzle or two, may run into a challenging hide or three, could do an EarthCache, will log a lot of miles . . . But most of all, you will have fun Geocaching, which is what this challenge is all about. Logs indicating a lack of fun may be deleted. (No, not really, but please have fun!) Feel free to note in your log what your favorite cache or caching experience was. Now get out there and find some caches!
