The cache container and log are at the posted coordinates. The difficulty reflects the effort required to meet the challenge. The terrain rating allows for a few caches that may require a search in more "challenging" terrain.
To log this cache online you must find a cache in Nevada (cities, towns, railroad sidings, mines, ghost towns or any other locals noted in the Mapsource or Delorme database or any other accepted map) that start with each letter of the alphabet, A-Z. Since Q, X and Z are the toughest and are infrequently found as the first letter in a name you are allowed to submit names with the Q,X and Z in the name of the locale. Q is pretty easy for anyone that has been to Mesquite. How about Texas Acres, or Rox or Apex. Z is more of a challenge but certainly doable. All caches must be in the State of Nevada. Archived caches are okay. I was very negative about the challenge caches when they first started appearing. (I gained a tolerance for these challenges during the winter months when I couldn't get out to cache because of the weather.) They were time consuming like multis and puzzles but the very most annoying part of challenges, for me, was the tedious documentation. Bookmark lists were unknown to me. My poor typing skills (17WPM with 17 errors) made my efforts to type my own list frustrating. I finally found that I could filter the required caches in one of the programs that I used to manipulate and load waypoints, scan or save my list as a jpeg file and attach it to my "found" log. Any way you are able to document your completion of the challenge is okay with me. Please do not submit a NOTE to the online logs or a find for this cache until you have submitted the documentation for your finds... and signed the physical log. Date your find on the day you complete and submit your docs. The ftf belongs to the first cacher to put together clear documentation and sign the physical log. You are welcome to find the cache and sign the log when you are in the area. I am unlikey to scrutinize each and every entry but I am certain that the watchdogs will let me know if there is anything suspicious. Please save yourself the embarrassment of fraudulent logs. Update:Sorry I wasn't more clear. If someone can tell me how to fix the description I will gladly change it. Caches must be found by you and in the State of Nevada. Your list should include cache found by you in a locality that starts with the letter "A", like Austin. Next could be "B" like Boulder City. "C" could be Carson City. I will gladly accept localities that include a "Q", "X" or a "Z" because of the infrequency of sites that start with a "Q" or a "Z" and the absence of a site starting with an "X".
