The Ventura County Quadrangle Challenge
The objective of this challenge is to find a cache in each of 40 USGS 7.5 minute topographical map quadrangles that cover Ventura County.
You MAY take credit for finds made prior to the creation of the Ventura County Quadrangle Challenge (29 December 2009).
To complete this challenge and find the final cache, you must
- Find a Ventura County cache in each quadrangle shown in the attached grid.
- Create a bookmark this Challenge cache and bookmark one cache for each quad. Indicate in the Comments section the name of the quad and the date of the
find.
- Send me a Pocket Query of the bookmark of the caches you’ve found for each quadrangle. If you aren't a Premium Member, send me the bookmark.
- Once you send me the list of caches, I will acknowledge receiving it as soon as possible.
- Following that, I will review and verify the list.
- Once everything checks out, I will then send you the correct coordinates for the final cache.
- The find cannot be logged on-line until the physical container is found and the log signed.
- If you have any questions as to what quad a cache is in or would like to like be know how you are progressing, please e-mail me at coakford@yahoo.com.
If you would like a .gpx or .loc file of the quad corners, please let me know.
The guidelines:
- The posted coordinates are not the actual coordinates for the cache. The actual cache may actually be quite some distance from these coordinates.
- Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply. These must be bona fide caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have
personally (physically) found and logged.
- All cache types count as finds with the exception of events (CITO included) and locationless caches.
- For the purposes of this challenge, the coordinates listed on the cache page will determine which quadrangle puzzle and multi caches are located in, and not
the coordinates of the actual physical cache.
- All caches found must be located in Ventura County. For quads along the county boundaries, please pick a cache inside Ventura County.
- The boundary of each quadrangle in the challenge is determined by the coordinates listed on the USGS quadrangle map of the same name.
- If for any reason it becomes impossible to find a cache in a particular quadrangle, that quadrangle will be dropped from the challenge.
- While you may have others with you when you find the final cache, only those who have fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache will be allowed to log it as a
find.
