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.
5. The small Challenge tags are limited to the first 100 cachers who complete the challenge.

Description:




The high-banked concrete oval at Dover International Speedway is known as "The Monster Mile" -- so it's perfectly reasonable that its management would build a giant monster as its mascot.
Meet "Miles" the Monster Monument! This is a 46-foot fiberglass structure with glowing red eyes and carrying a full-scale stock car in his hand. He welcomes Nascar fans to the monster mile. Miles' circular base is lined with granite plaques that pay tribute to the winners of every Dover NASCAR race since the track opened in 1969.
