Geocache Description:

The cache IS at the posted coordinates. However, please note the challenge below.

If you happen upon this cache and have not yet met the logging requirement, please post only a note for your find, then log as completed when you finish the challenge.


There are several alpha challenges, but not one specifically for virtual caches. In order to log a find for this cache, you need to have logged at least 24 virtual caches, each with the cache name beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. The articles, "The," "A," and "An" can be dropped (or can be used) and use the beginning letter of the next word. So, "A Queen for a Day," can count for A or Q, and "The Xylophone," can count for T or X. We set the requirement at 24 to make it a little more attainable -- okay, because we didn't have a Q or an X on our list!!

** 17 Dec 2011 - Cache requirements amended. After some additional research on "near" virtuals, up to 4 caches can use any word in the cache name that begin with the needed letters to count for the cache requirements.

Our finds list is given below. Past finds count. If you include a list in your log, please include the name of the cache, the GC code, and the date you found it.
