I've known for a while that all you geocachers are a bunch of animals! Now you get to prove it. This is a challenge cache modeled after one I recently found in San Francisco (GC378D3--The Fifty Animal Challenge). In order to log this cache you need to provide a list of at least 50 caches with an animal name in the title. As part of the list of 50, you need to identify 5 of those animal name caches that ALSO were hidden by a geocacher with an animal name as part of their name. Also identify 5 animal name caches that were found in 5 different states. A few rules: You can't duplicate animal names in the cache titles, but you can use variations on animal gender, age, and number (i.e. Ram, Rams, Lamb, Ewe and Sheep would all work to score you five caches). No dinosaurs, mythology, or fictional animals. No fake animals (i.e. "The Diamond Beaked Pink Dragon Cache" would not work) No animal proper names (i.e. no Snoopy, Garfield, Kitty, Fido, Tweety) In selecting the cache names the animal name must stand alone (i.e. "Batter Up!" would not work for "Bat", but "Swing that Bat" would work) - but for cache owners' names, the animal can be part of another word (i.e. "WendyCat", "Noababoa", "Catsnfish" would all work). If a cache series name has more than one animal, you can use that series more than once...if you have found more than one cache (i.e. "The Hare and Turtle Race Cache #1" and "The Hare and Turtle Race Cache #2" would count as two animals, using the Hare once and the Turtle the other time, so long as you have found both caches). Likewise, if a cache owner name has more than one animal in it, you can claim each animal in the name for each time you find a cache by that owner (i.e. a cache placed by "CatsnFish" can be claimed as three CO names: Cat, Cats, and Fish...if you find three different caches by that owner that also have three different animals in the cache names)! Scientific names are accepted (i.e "Pelecanus") as are family (i.e. "Vipers" or "Felines"). If you have questions or feel that you have a cache/CO name that you are not sure will work...write to me (I am pretty easy). You can sign the log sheet anytime, but you must qualify prior to posting a "Found It" log on-line. The FTF only goes to the first geocacher to qualify AND sign the cache log.
