See the USA ... Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

************LOGGING REQUIREMENTS************

Years ago Dinah Shore encouraged us to "see the USA." This cache is for those who have traveled thru out our great country. Your task is to find 24 caches, each with a different degree of North coordinate and a different degree of West coordinate. As you can see, this will take some traveling. There is no time limit, you may already have found the required caches. When logging this cache, list your requisite caches as shown below...and be sure to include ten different categories (icons) in your list. Good luck in your travels...
