the prof's puzzle 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This cache has been archived.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.

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden along Township Road a little south of Gridley. You can drive within twenty feet of it. Be sure to note the important logging requirements below.

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

There is an increasing number of fine puzzle caches thru out NorCal. Your task is to find 26 of them...each starting with a different letter of the alphabet, and each located within California. Your finds must have occurred after January 1, 2010. When logging this cache, list your finds as shown below...and feel free to make a personal comment. For example, I enjoyed the zany film clip in "Brave Sir Robin," the satellite search in "Your Man Holes are Covered," and thinking outside the box in "Quadtree on the Grid." There is such a diversity of challenging tasks in these kool caches...
