Geocache Description:

Welcome to "Challenge Lake". These series of caches are inspired by I Challenge You and "Challenge Alley" in Sacramento, California. Enjoy! The cache is not located at the posted coordinates.

This is very similar to the Original Caches Challenge (GC1C0Y2) established by H,tLLPOF in central Nebraska that quite a few folks have been working on. The important difference is that this involves Nebraska's oldest Puzzle/Unknown/Challenge (PUC) caches. In order to log this cache, you need to log a 'found it' on 35 of the 45 oldest ACTIVE PUC caches in Nebraska. At the time of publication, the oldest is (Re)search by Pixie_Tracker (GCHHVG), which was published 20 Jan 04. To provide a little help, if this cache goes unfound for six months, the number of old PUC needed will go down by one. A year without a find means two can be ignored. Once found, the clock restarts, just like the Original Caches Challenge. I've attached a list of oldest Nebraska PUC, so you can use that to start you on your way. Just include the GC number, name of the cache, and the date found in your log (or in a list) as proof of your achievement. What if I own one of the caches? It counts--you don't need to find another one. Thanks for maintaining your cache! THE FINAL LOCATION: Of course it is a puzzle, but it is an easy one: Xbhkyhnpuah nyhkbz hxbpsvult. Xbhkyhnpuah uvclt wbujabt xbhkypunluap cpnpuap bubz. Uvuhnpuah zle nyhkbz vjjpklualt. Xbpuxbhnpuah zle tpubah. Wbujabt, vjapunluapz aypnpuah.
