Geocache Description:

Cache IS at the posted coordinates, but you MUST fulfill the requirements in order to log a find on this cache!

To complete this challenge you need to have found 50 bona fide* Water Access Only caches.

*To be counted as a bona fide Water Access Only cache, the cache must:

•Have a terrain rating of 5;
•Have the boat needed attribute;
•Only be accessible by boat -- or be placed with the intention that it would be obtained by boat; and
•You actually did find the cache using a boat.

Simple rules:

1. Finds can be made anywhere for this challenge.

2. Past finds count for this challenge, including archived caches.

3. Paddle events and paddle CITO events count IF you were in a boat on the water during the event. (Being part of the send-off crew doesn't work for this challenge!)

4. You must show your finds and the dates found. You can list them in your log, do a bookmark, or upload a legible GSAK or other type of listing screenshot, etc. Whatever works for you -- but note the found date.

It would be cool if you said something in your log about any or all WAO series you completed, like: where it is, level of difficulty, fun levels, how scenic, etc. to give paddlers an idea of where to go next!

5. You can sign the log for this challenge at any time and log a 'note' to the cache page, mentioning you signed the log. But you may not log a find until you have completed the requirements. Tthis way you don't have to go back to sign after you complete the requirements! Once you complete the requirements: log your find, show your caches, and if you signed the log before the completion of the requirements note the date you signed the log in your found log.

Happy Paddling!
