Earth Caches Rock!

Welcome to Tic Tac Earth Cache. To log this cache you will need to have found three Earth Caches which deal with the topics below....but they must also be in a row across, up and down or diagonally. For example you could find Earth Caches dealing with a BOG, SPRING and CAVE for an across win or a METEOR IMPACT, SPRING AND RIVER FEATURE for a diagonal win.You may not use the same cache for more than one square. As a bonus you may log this cache twice if you are able to fill all 9 squares (like blackout Bingo). A second visit to the site is NOT required for the bonus.



UPDATE: I've been getting a few questions concerning qualifications for an escarpment. I'm pretty flexible on this, but a general definition to help would be: a steep slope in front of a fortification or a long cliff or steep slope separating two comparatively level or more gently sloping surfaces and resulting from erosion or faulting

To claim this cache you must list each qualifying Earth Cache in your "found it" log by listing its GC number and name. I will check to see if you have previously logged each of the qualifying Earth Caches, but I don't anticipate any issues. Some cache topics fall into gray areas so please try to stick with the main topic of the Earth Cache although I will allow a little latitude in necessary; if there is a problem with your log I will contact you. Caches found before and after this cache was placed CAN be counted towards fulfilling the requirements.

As more Earth Caches are published, these cache requirements will become easier. Locally there are Earth Caches dealing with a number of these features, but not all of them can be found within the immediate area of Sioux Falls. You will need to explore your world to claim this one. If you are willing to travel a bit, there is a lot to learn and discover.

*The cache IS located at the posted coordinates.*

  1. To learn something about our planet.
  2. The treasure you find is the lesson you learn.
  3. Leave nothing but footprints behind.
  4. Do not pick any plants, remove any organisms, or disturb any wildlife.
  5. Leave No Trace.
