Geocache Description:


Know Your Local Cacher Challenge - SC/GA


For a while, I have been trying to come up with a new challenge for cachers. After some research and looking around at challenges across the globe, I've gotten some inspiration for this one.

Some of the inspiration comes from these caches:


The cache is located at the posted coordinates. However, in order to avoid a deleted log, please read the logging requirements carefully!

Your goal is to find 3 different types of caches hidden by 10 different cachers


  • You will need to find a total of 30 caches to be eligible to find this challenge.
  • You will need to find caches hidden by your choice of 10 different cachers.
  • You will need to find 3 different types of caches hidden by each of the 10 cachers. Size, Difficulty and Terrain are unimportant.
  • At least 1 group of caches from the same owner must be in South Carolina. For instance, if using wildraynorris, all caches for this challenge from wildraynorris must be located in SC
  • At least 1 group of caches from the same owner must be in Georgia. For instance, if using Ollie46, all caches for this challenge from Ollie46 must be located in GA
  • Caches from the same user cannot be used for both SC and GA. For instance, if you choose to find caches by wyldrob to fulfill the SC requirement, you cannot use caches by wyldrob to fulfill the GA requirement
  • Please note that the names above are just used as an example. Found caches can be from any cacher you choose, as long as the caches meet the requirements.

Additional Information:


  • No old finds - The FINDS for this challenge must not be from any earlier than August 1, 2011
  • No adopted caches - Must be the original cache placer's hide only. Neither the original placer nor the adopter can be counted on an adopted cache.
  • No temporary cache finds allowed. These are caches that do not have a listing on geocaching.com
  • Only actual event or CITO attendance is acceptable to claim the event category.
  • No combining of accounts - All must be logged by one account.
  • No finding your own caches.
  • The "real" cache placer's name is the only one that counts, not aliases. (Just hit the A cache by link on the cache page to reveal the correct owner)
  • Please use one of the following methods to annotate your logging requirements:
    • Reference the cache finds by owner and date in your log
    • Create a public bookmark list that clearly labels the owner and date found for each entry
