Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS AT THE LISTED COORDS.

Some caches, like the thousands of PnGs, get found regularly. Other caches don’t get found for long periods of time – if ever. Typically these lonely caches are older caches that are either located in remote areas w/challenging terrain, are seasonably accessible, or are more difficult puzzles or multis – or even combinations of the above. They don't pump up your numbers, but these caches do create great memories.

To qualify for logging this cache you must seek out and find enough lonely caches to accrue 100 lonely points. The good news is that the more lonely a cache has been, the more points it is worth.

RULES

1. Lonely time begins once a cache has been lonely for 6 months. This means a cache logged as found on January 15, 2010 then found again on July 14, 2010 does not count.

2. It must be a physical cache with a log. (No virtuals, earthcaches, etc.)

3. Caches you have already found DO count towards your total so you might not be starting at zero.

4. Lonely caches outside of Iowa DO count.

SCORING:

A cache first becomes lonely when it hasn't been found for at least six months...THIS IS THE STARTING POINT. 6 months lonely=6 points, 7 months lonely=7 points, 8 months lonely=8 points all the way up to a maximum of 24 months lonely=24 points.

Please post your list through geocaching.com, whether it be a complete text listing, a JPEG file or in a bookmark form.

You may find this cache prior to qualifying. Just sign the log and write a note on the cache page of your current Iowa Lonely Cache Challenge status. Then when you qualify you may claim the find on the cache.

Due to no information available, there is no Project GC checker for this cache.
