How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT located at posted coordinates - In order to log this cache as a find - you will need to complete the following challenge. Also - this is a puzzle cache - don't expect a beautiful, brand new ammo box in a gorgeous valley nestled between acres of pine trees and morning glories. You will most likely be looking for a film can - and it will probably be in a lamp skirt. These are the facts.

The Trackable States Challenge!!!!


I've decided this challenge is very possible, but very tedious.


Your mission. Collect a coin icon OR Title of EVERY state in the union.


This means that, in order to qualify to log this cache, you must move at least 50 geocoins. Each of these coins must either have an ICON representing one of the 50 United States OR have a state name LISTED in the title of the coin.


NOTICE - I saw City Slicker OH's coin challenges and read his rules. I liked his one about requiring that you actually MOVE the trackable item. I think it would be cute to give that a shot on this challenge.
The trackable item has to be "Retrieved" from one cache and "Dropped" into a different cache. "Discovered" trackable items do not count.

To prove you have met these requirements, please leave a note on here for me to review your discovered or moved trackables.


Please note, I've listed this geocache at false coordinates to discourage random finds so close to the highway.


The actual coordinates for this cache are:


tree fine toot cyst nunca servin fine

nunca ate fort toot nunca nunca cyst tree


Should be NO problem getting that deciphered, but if you can't - email me and I'll give the coords too you.


The Rules you can bend and various other disclaimers/cheats
Some states do NOT have official geocoins released into the wild with their state as the icon, these would be North and South Dakota as of 12/8/09 - these states will need substitutions.

I will allow an icon with the map of the United States to SUBSTITUTE for ONE STATE ONLY. SO, if you have TWO different icons that have the US on them - you can substitute TWO state.

Also - I will allow icons of state flags, flowers, animals, trees, presidents born in that state etc. HOWEVER - if you are substituting a representational icon like this, you will be required to email me your list of icons in some sort of file that shows:
State - A Link to your log on the coin - a reason why this coin's icon can represent a state.

I don't mind scrolling through all your trackable icons for images of states or state names in the name of the coin/bug, but I am not going to do research on your substituted state's flower. I've been out of school since 92 and felt no desire to retain such information. Again, ALL substitutions will require extra work on your part to convince me the substitution is allowed.

One gotcha - generic icon geocoins can only be used for 5 states. This is to discourage someone from buying 50 generics and naming them to nab a smiley.
