the prof's challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden near Hwy 99 in southern Sutter County. Park at the end of Sacramento Avenue (parking coordinates below) and hike about one-half mile on a gravel, then dirt road. This is a difficult placement. You should have some athletic ability, don't go alone, and do not do this at night. See the important logging requirements below.

********* LOGGING REQUIREMENTS *********

In order to log this cache you must first find and log ten caches that have not been found by anyone for at least one year. There is no time requirement for finding them, you may already have done so. When you log this cache, list your ten prerequisite finds in the manner shown below.

There are many lonely caches out there that are off the beaten track and are seldom found. The challenge here is to put some of them into the found column. And, if you can find ten more lonely caches, feel free to log this one again, and again...
