You do luv a challenge, DON'T you? 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This cache has been archived.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 a hiking/biking trail in western Yuba City. You can drive within 50 feet of it. Be sure to note the logging requirements below.

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

When I was a child my parents told me "don't do this, don't do that." My teachers did the same, and now I notice that many caches also give this advice. Your task is to find 25 caches, each starting with the word "don't".

There is no time limit, you may have already found the required caches. When logging this cache, list your requisite cache-finds as shown below...and be sure to include four different cache types (icons) on your list. And don't forget to have fun...
