Geocache Description:


To Start--------Cache is at the posted coords Borrowed this idea from a Central Pa. cache challenge.......Seamed to me that a lot of people put a lot of work into this personal challenge ,made the drive 250 miles or more to come away empty handed........Trying to make this a fun and satisfing experience closer to home...... The hike from the parking area may seem like punishment after all the work you've put into the challenge already ,but I threw in another 4-5 caches on the way to break up the walk......Added a couple of # caches that may help you meet the requirements...... This is not an original idea. A couple of friends I talked to recently where working on there own challenges ,so as our gift to the cachers in Western,Pa., here it is: This one should prove to be a bit easier than the last. To find this cache you will need to find 36 caches, and they can be at any time in your caching career.This challenge requires a list of your qualifying caches (details below). If your log is not accompanied by the required list on PUBLIC BOOKMARK or LISTED IN YOUR LOG your find will be deleted! Simple as that. NO LIST,NO SIGNATURE ON THE LOG BOOK,NO SMILEY....DON"T LOG UNTIL ALL YOUR PAPERWORK IS IN ORDER............. Cache is an ammo can, please be sure to leave something that starts with a letter of the alphabet.( That shouldn't be to hard) The physical cache is placed in an area that represents the Best of Geocaching to those of us who have been in the hobby long enough to remember how it was. Beautiful area with lots of history surrounding. Now for the Challenge – You must successfully log a find on a cache that begins with each of the 36 alphanumeric characters, i.eP., A-Z and 0-9. Only the first character of the cache name is used, as follows: Cache -- FALLEN WALL CACHE can be used for “F” Cache -- The Fifty States Colorado can be used for “T” Cache -- 2nd Place Street can be used for “2” The following examples cannot be counted: Cache -- "Chillin' with the Troll King" is not a valid cache (because it starts with ") Cache -- $#!+poke is also not a valid cache (because dollar sign is used first) Note that you may NOT use caches you own (even if you found them some time ago and have since adopted them). Since cache names can sometimes change, be sure that the names still fit the requirement you are trying to fulfill as of the date you log your find of this challenge. To document your successful completion of the challenge, you will need to create an ordered list of the 36 caches found in your log entry using the following format: * 0 - Cache Name - GC_____ - Date Found * 1 - Cache Name - GC_____ - Date Found (all to way to the end) * Y - Cache Name - GC_____ - Date Found * Z - Cache Name - GC_____ - Date Found The Rules -- This one is meant to be for the fun of it, so we're not making a whole lot of rules. But, there are a few: 1. You may not count any cache that you have hidden or have ever owned. 2. There is no time frame for the cache finds, so if you like, all of your current finds count toward completing the challenge. This means that you may already have the challenge completed without even trying. But, you can always impose your own start date and start from scratch. I will leave that up to you, do whatever makes you happy. Remember that this is for the fun of it. There will be no "FTF" prize or "honors" given out just because you were fortunate enough to have "immediate qualifications" or time & resources to carry this out in "record-breaking" time - This does not prove anything -the real prize is the fun you have along the way and the friends who share the path. But you are welcome to do the "dance". 3. In the interest of fair play you will not need to find all of the caches in the sequence, you will be allowed one "wildcard" that can replace any letter or number you have not found, but it can only replace one cache. You do not have to use the wildcard, which makes your log even more impressive! All trail and road walking till your about 50 feet away.......Slight bushwack to cache GZ.............REMEMBER WEAR YOUR ORANGE..........this is a hunting area when in season Any ? or suggestions contact us...........
