My other XYZ Challenges are:

XYZ The Mystery Alphabet Challenge & Puzzle #1
XYZ The Multi Alphabet Challenge & Puzzle #3
XYZ The Alphabet Challenge & Puzzle Bonus


Unlike most challenges this one is also a puzzle. We all know to get a mystery icon you either do a puzzle or a challenge. And since this is a challenge to make a ABC bookmark list of ONLY OREGON mystery and traditional caches,( can NOT use this cache or XYZ #1 as your X )I decided to make it a puzzle as well. Something you puzzlers would enjoy for more than one reason.

This challenge will be a little harder than the last XYZ #1. Once again I wouldn't ask you to do something I didn't already do. In this challenge I'm asking for two mysteries of each letter and one traditional of each letter as well. So you should have 52 mysteries and 26 traditionals in your list or bookmark. Again I will have a bookmark on this page that is NOT a to do list just an example.

Requirements:

1- Meet the challenge of 78 caches (52 Mysteries and 26 Traditional) Two mysteries per letter and 1 traditional per letter.

2- Solve the puzzle.

3- Find the cache.

Now for the puzzle: N 45 34.XXX W 122 35.XXX

I'm going to tell you a story about my time in the military. I was setting up my vehicle and cannon for the starlight parade in Portland,OR when another soldier approached me and said "Hey Sergeant, what's your MOS?" And I replied "13 Delta. What Company are you with?" And he responded with "Golf Company and my buddy here is from Golf Company too." I noticed that his buddy sounded odd to me and so I asked him "Where are you from? And he responded with "I'm from India." Then he asked me "What Unit are you with?" I responded with "I'm with Alpha Battery 2/218th FA" He got excited and asked "Do you know Private Major? He's in Alpha Battery too." Replied with "Yeah I know him, he likes to come over and use my generator to play his PlayStation in the field." We all laughed and went back to what we was doing. I enjoyed that day sitting on top of the vehicle waving to all the cheering people as we drove by slowly. Didn't care too much for the channel 8 news camera in my face though. But being called by your family telling you that you looked good on TV is priceless :)



*****Grats to PDXJim on the FTF!*****
