This cache has been archived.

ravrobin: It's time to archive this cache! Foon has now reached 25,000 finds! Sadly, this one keeps going missing and I'm no longer working in the area to maintain it. If you are still working towards the challenge, the key word here is "Hershey." Thanks everyone for finding it!

Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS PLACED IN HONOR OF FOON'S 10K FIND!
Congrats to Foon on the FTF and 10K finds!

Besides geocaching, Foon's other hobby is softball. He plays several nights each week. So this cache combines his two favorite hobbies!

The challenge is to find 50 caches that have sports terms in the title. All finds count no matter when you found them. Please attach a bookmark list to verify that you have found 50 caches.

I have found 66 caches that qualify for this challenge! My finds contain words such as BALL, HOCKEY, POLO, SKATE, FOOTBALL, and BIKE, just to name a few. The word must stand alone - Ballona doesn't count. Also, made up words such as "Bikencache" do not count.

The cache is at the posted coordinates, but your log will be deleted if you don't satisfy the challenge requirements.

This cache is a part of a series of caches spread throughout Southern California in tribute to a truly unique cacher, FOON, who will be making his 10,000th find. The challenge is to find 10 unique caches hidden by 10 unique cachers. Each cache contains a hidden clue unlocking the coordinates to the final cache: Foon’s 10k: The Challenge

Here is the list of caches for this challenge. The order in which you find them is not important:

Foon’s 10k: 10,000 Finds,6 Years
