Geocache Description:

***This is a challenge cache***

It is located at the posted coordinates. You may find and sign the physical log at any time. However, this challenge cache may be logged online as found, only after the physical log is signed and the challenge tasks have been met and documented.


THE CHALLENGE

In order to log a find on this cache, you must find enough LONELY CACHES to accumulate at least 60 months of LONELY TIME.

THE RULES

1. A LONELY CACHE is a cache that has not been found for at least 6 months. All other caches are HAPPY CACHES. Only LONELY CACHES may be used to accumulate LONELY TIME. Only caches with physical logs count as LONELY CACHES; earthcaches, virtual caches and webcam caches do not count. This cache will not count.

2. LONELY TIME is the total amount of time, counted in months, between the date of your find and the date of the previous cacher's find (or the publish date if you are first to find). Each cacher that finds a LONELY CACHE together as a group may use the same LONELY TIME from that cache. Time that a cache is disabled or archived will not count toward LONELY TIME. You may not find the same cache a second time in order to accumulate LONELY TIME.

3. All LONELY TIME claimed must be verifiable by the online logs of the respective LONELY CACHES. Any “Found it” logs on this cache without the required LONELY TIME will be deleted.

THE LOG

In your “Found it” log, please list each LONELY CACHE used to accumulate at least 60 months of LONELY TIME with the following information:
