Welcome to 10 Years! The
Challenge!
As many of
you know this past May 1, 2 & 3 was the celebration of the 10
year anniversary of the first Geocache being placed as well as
literally hundreds of events be held world wide. The Chicago
celebration was certainly second to none with 4 - 10 Years! Events
being held during this
particular weekend as
well as over 100 new 10
Years! Caches being placed. In order to log this cache, all
you need to do is find all of the active 10 Years! hides and to
help you out I have created a
Bookmark List Here.
If you are a 10 Years! Cache owner and you do not see you cache on
the list, feel free to drop me a note and I will be sure it gets
added.
Recently
while listening to a Chicago
Geocacher Podcast, I heard Scott talking about the all the 10
Years! Caches and how he thought it would be interesting if there
were a challenge to find all of them. A few weeks ago I
happened to be out with Scott and Walt so I asked if he was placing
it and he told me no but if I did I had to put his name on it so
here you go Scott!
