There is a container at the posted coordinates, but you may only log your find after completing the challenge below. The cache itself is a 1/2 difficulty. The difficulty reflects the difficulty in the challenge. The object of this challenge is to find 12 lonely old caches.
What is a "lonely old cache" you ask? A lonely old cache is a cache that has been published at least 5 years with less than 50 recorded finds. There are many caches that get found every week. A lonely cache sits around for long periods of time without anyone dropping by to check on it. They don't pump up your numbers, but these caches do create great memories. Lonely caches are frequently the ones you have to earn. Watch out, though! Once you find your first lonely old cache, you might become addicted. Most other caches will pale in comparison, and geocaching will never be the same. Why are these old caches lonely? There are many reasons for this. They may be off the beaten path, they may be puzzles or challenges that the typical cacher doesn't have the time or expertise to solve or qualify for. They may have a high difficulty or terrain. This cache is dedicated to all of these caches. Rules 1. You must find 12 different caches. Each cache must have been placed for at least 5 years when you found it. Example, if a cache was hidden on July 1, 2006, your find must be on July 2, 2011, or later. 2. When you find each cache the cache must have no more than 50 logged finds. If you find it with a group and you are numbers 49, 50 and 51, you may each use the find for the challenge. 3. Once the cache has at least 50 finds, it may no longer be used to qualify for this challenge unless you found it before the 50th logged find. 4. Prior finds count. The cache must be a physical cache that was active when you made the find. Traditionals, multis, letterboxes, unknowns, or whereigos. No earth caches, virtuals or webcams. 5. Provide evidence of qualification by a public bookmark or other method. 6. After you have qualified feel free to find the cache. Logs will be deleted that do not show evidence of qualification. 7. See attached for reference my Lonely Old cache bookmark list. REMEMBER: For those who accept this challenge, I would encourage you to carry maintenance supplies. Older and less visited caches tend to need more maintenance than others, so it wouldn't hurt to bring a few extra bags/paper in case these older caches need a little TLC.
