How Geocaching Works

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

Geocache Description:

The cache is at the posted coordinates.

BUT - to log a find on this cache, please fulfill the requirements listed below.

A lot of caches include names. Some of those names get duplicated. For this challenge you will need to find at least 10 caches, with 5 duplicated first or given names. Some leeway will be given for “similar” names; Jeff and Jeffrey, Tom and Tommy, Jim and Jimmy. Also similar spellings will count; Glen and Glenn, Jodee and Jody, Stephen and Steven, or Bert and Burt. Names with apostrophes match those without, Jane’s and Jane, Peter’s and Peter; BUT names that are part of other words do NOT count; i.e. Hazelton or Williamsburg. Names in a series will not count for this challenge; i.e. Nancy and Woody Coloring & Nancy and Woody go back to school, OR Piglet’s Culture Cache & Piglet’s Southbrook Cache. These would not count as duplicate names.

Finally, this is supposed to be fun!! Have a good time going down memory lane or forcing your computer to spit out searches of common names from a database to compile your list. Please include the cache names and GC codes in your log. Give yourself an extra smiley if you have a name with 3 caches.

Here are some examples.
Kylee - Kylee’s cache GCIHHQC and Jordan & Kylee’s Cache FC1FVD1
George - Dead center in St. George 147XV & George and Martha GC143V1
Billy - Billy Goat Palace GC13446 & Three Billy Goats Gruff GC1567K1
Ben - A “Quiet Place” with Ben GC1A310 & Ben Holliday’s Stage Station GCKTTA
Tommy - The Battle of Tommy Giordano (MacGyver) & Tommy’s Treasures GCVPSF
Lisa - Lisa Bonet ate no Basil GC1MTHN & Lisa-The Simpsons #4 GC1XX51
Jeff - Jeffrey’s cabelas cache GC1DE07 & Mail Call Jeff the Geek Post Office Box GCXCCC

THREE!!
Henry - Henry Blake MASH Cache GCVQ34, Henry’s View GCA3A0, and John Henry Cache GC12Q78

****** **PLEASE NOTE** ******** There is NOT a Project-GC checker for this cache. This challenge is for same given names not same cache names. It may take some time to prepare a list of your qualifying caches. GSAK can be a big help in finding common names. The challenge only requires 10 caches, with 5 duplicated names.
