Juicy Fruit 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This cache has been archived.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 located near Hwy 99 about ten miles south of Yuba City. Turn east on Wilson Road, then turn south onto the frontage road. You can drive within thirty feet of the cache. Be sure to note the logging requirements below.

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

Recently I accompanied Mrs prof to the supermarket. I was surprised by the variety of fruit on display: apple, apricot, avocado, banana, berry, blackberry, blueberry, cantaloupe, cherry, cranberry, date, fig, grape, grapefruit, guava, kiwi, lemon, lime, mango, melon, olive, orange, papaya, peach, pear, persimmon, pineapple, plum, raspberry, strawberry, tangerine, tomato, and watermelon.

Your job is to find 25 caches, each with a different fruit (from the above list) in the title. Do not use compound words...such as limestone, or lemonade...and only two caches from a series are allowed, and no locationless caches. And the words "berry" and "melon" must stand alone. Plurals are acceptable.

There is no time limit, you may already have found the required caches. When logging this cache, list your cache finds as shown below...and include five different cache categories (icons) on your list. And, remember...an apple a day keeps the doctor away...
