This cache is based, in part, on the
Delorme Challenges in the
United States.
These are the rules:
1. To "FIND" this cache, you must find a cache within each map
grid/page of the "Nova Scotia Backroad Mapbook", Version 1 or 2, published by Mussio Ventures Ltd copyrighted in 2006 or 2009 respectively. There are 54 Grids, including the two insets. All grids currently host caches.
It is not necessary to purchase a copy of the "Nova Scotia Backroad Mapbook" to participate. You can find a copy in virtually every public library in the province, or I will send a listing of the grid squares upon request.
2. To verify completion, and receive authorization to seek and log the cache, you will need to e-mail me the Grid page number, GC number, the cache name and date of each find. I will then verify that the location of each find is within the proper grid and authorize you to find and log the cache. You may log your find without waiting for approval, but logs not meeting all of the criteria will be deleted.
3. Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply. These must be bona fide caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally (physically) found and logged both at the cache and online. Archived caches are acceptable, but must be able to be verified.
4. All active physical cache types (including Earth caches and Letterbox Hybrid caches) count as finds for the Nova Scotia Backroad Challenge. Events (CITO included), Virtuals, Locationless, and Traveling caches WILL NOT be allowed. For Multis and Mysteries, the posted coordinates will be the page on which the cache counts.
6. If a Nova Scotia Backroad Mapbook page includes space not located in Nova Scotia, only active caches in the Nova Scotia portion count. Each page contains a small amount of over lap onto another page, that area does not count for that page.
7. While you may have others with you when you find the final cache. Only those who have fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache will be allowed to log it as a find. Find logs by other cachers will be deleted.
8. When in doubt ask—we can discuss it or even seek guidance from others, but the final decision rests with the cache owner. While the various editions and versions of the Nova Scotia Backroad Mapbook do not seem to have changed much in terms of page boundaries, the information in the cache owner's copies (as listed above) will be considered definitive.
A very big congratulations to Beaver Pelt for his FTF.
Special thanks to jajakeiz for building the Project-GC challenge checkers for this cache.
