Geocache Description:

Spell'n Iz Fun

Coords listed will take you to the final cache, BUT do not try to find it before completing the requirements.  Follow these steps and you will have it done:

  1. Complete the challenge.
  2. Build your bookmark list.
  3. Post a note here that you are done.
  4. Go out & find the cache.

I know you have all seen or heard about other challenges like Fizzy, Delorme, Alphabet Soup, Bakers Dozer, etc.  This is a new one I haven't seen around Missouri yet.  So here we go...

Fun Stuff....

ANY LOGGED FINDS WITHOUT THE PROPER REQUIREMENTS WILL BE DELETED.

Your ultimate goal will be to find caches whose first letter of each title spells out "M-I-S-S-O-U-R-I  G-E-O-C-A-C-H-I-N-G".

  • You will need to find a total of 18 caches to complete this challenge, plus finding 1 additional cache for the final.
  • The caches can be found in ANY order, but each cache can ONLY be used once.

Post your 18 found caches in a clearly labeled Public Bookmark List.
Make sure you annotate the Bookmark with when you found it.


Legal Bits....

  • NO OLD FINDS - The finds for this challenge must not be from any earlier June 1st, 2010.  In other words, your caches you find and log for this challenge must be ON or AFTER the 1st of June, 2010.  Sorry no armchair FTF's.
  • NO TEMPORARY CACHE FINDS - Only actual Event or CITO attendance is acceptable to claim this.
  • NO ADOPTED CACHES - Must be the original cachers hide only.
  • NO COMBINING OF ACCOUNTS - All must be logged by one account.
  • NO FINDING OF YOUR OWN CACHES - That means if you hid it... You can't count it.  Also Neither the original placer nor the adopter can be counted on an adopted cache.

GSAK Macro

  • For those that use GSAK, I've created a macro here that you can use to check your progress on completing the challenge and, when finished, will create the required cache list for you log entry.
  • You can download the macro file here: MGSpellingChallenge.gsk
  • If you don't use GSAK, check the program out here: http://gsak.net/
