Geocache Description:

AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

There have been a lot of challenges published lately, so here's one more to commemorate the tenth anniversary of geocaching. The challenge is straightforward: find two caches that were published more than ten years apart. In your log, please state the two caches you're using, the date they were hidden, and the date you found them. Some old caches don't have a "date published" log. If that's the case, use the date it was hidden. Also, the later-hidden cache must have been hidden on at least the same calendar date as the earlier-hidden cache. So, for example, Beverly (hidden 5/13/00) and Queen for a Day (published 5/13/10) would be a valid pair of caches, but Mingo (hidden 5/11/00) and Demoniac Greed (published 5/10/10) would not be a valid pair of caches. Previous finds do count.

The difficulty rating reflects the fact that the challenge will require some out of state travel, at least until November 5, 2010, when Alvin's Phone Line celebrates its tenth anniversary. (I haven't yet qualified for the challenge myself.) The challenge should be pretty easy by next year.
