Miss Steele: Unfortunately, this cache page has been archived due to the lack of a timely maintanence resolution. If the owner would like to have it reinstated, please contact me through my profile within 10 days, referencing the GC code and name of the cache. Please note that un-archiving a cache page places it through the same review process as a newly proposed cache, using the cache placement guidelines currently in effect.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing more of your caches up and running in the future.

Geocache Description:


"Montana Geocaching" Spelling Challenge
 
Welcome to Challenge Lane. Check for other challenge caches in the area.
The cache is at the listed coordinates, but...
note YOU MAY NOT LOG THIS CACHE AS "FOUND" UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE!
 
The Challenge
Your goal will be to find caches whose first letter of each title spells out
"M-O-N-T-A-N-A- G-E-O-C-A-C-H-I-N-G".
Below are additional stipulations:
 

You will need to find a total of 17 caches to complete this challenge,

plus finding 1 additional cache for the final.

The caches can be found in ANY order, but each cache can ONLY be used once.

Post your 17 found caches in a clearly labeled Public Bookmark List.
Make sure you annotate the Bookmark with when you found it.

Do not try to find it before completing the requirements.  Follow these steps and you will have it done:
  1. Complete the challenge.
  2. Build your bookmark list, text in the log, attach an image, etc.
  3. Post a note here that you are done.
  4. Go out & find the cache.

Additional information:
  1. All cache types count. There are not cache type block outs that are relevant to this Challenge.
  2. All cache finds must be found and logged after 5/1/2011. No caches found or logged prior to 5/1/2011 will be allowed. Cache placement dates are insignificant.
  3. All cache finds must be found in the state of Montana that are relevant to this Challenge.
  4. NO ADOPTED CACHES - Must be the original cachers hide only.
  5. NO FINDING OF YOUR OWN CACHES - That means if you hid it... You can't count it.  Also neither the     original placer nor the adopter can be counted on an adopted cache.
  6. ANY LOGGED FINDS WITHOUT THE PROPER REQUIREMENTS WILL BE DELETED.

GSAK Macro
  • For those that use GSAK, I've created a macro here that you can use to check your progress on completing the challenge and, when finished, will create the required cache list for you log entry.
