you an appreciation for the great areas of the First State. These
should all be fairly easy to find as they are either small or

tag & certificate at the challenge event, you must complete the
following:
1. You must find and log ALL FSC-2011 caches- both at the cache
location and online.
2. Record the code phrase written in the log book of each hide and
email your completed list of all FSC-2011 code phrases to
FSC2011@aol.com
3.For your convenience, there is a form on the Delaware Geocaching
Website at First State
Challenge 2011 - Form although the use of this form is not
required.
4. There will be a Challenge Event (12/10 in Dover) open to all
cachers. At this event, those that have been verified as completing
the challenge, will be eligible for a small Challenge tag and
Completion certificate.
