Geocache Description:

CHALLENGE CACHE! THE FINAL IS AT THE LISTED COORDINATES! PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW BEFORE MAKING THE FIND!

THE CHALLENGE: FIND A TOTAL OF 71 GEOCACHES LOCATED IN CEMETERIES

Why 71? So that you can say you've found more than 70 cemetery caches.

The rules:

-You may use all previous cemetery cache finds from all dates to qualify.
-Cache can be either TRADITIONAL or LETTERBOX HYBRID. No other types may be used.
-You may not log an online find until you have met the challenge requirement, however you may sign the log whenever you like.
-You must sign the log inside the cache before logging your find online.
-No location restrictions.

Logging Requirements:

Preferred method #1 is to bookmark your 71 cemetery caches. I have attached an example bookmark to this cache page with my 71 qualifying caches. If you make a bookmark, please make it look similar to mine.

Preferred method #2 is to list you 71 qualifying caches in you online log. Please use "Cache Name / GC Code /Date Found" format.

I strongly discourage use of GSAK for this challenge. If I cannot read the text in a GSAK photo, I will ask you to either make it legible or make a bookmark for your qualifying caches.

YOUR LOG WILL BE DELETED IF YOU LOG A FIND AND DO NOT QUALIFY!

---

As for actually making the find, it will be a nice hike to the final. Please park to the South where you would to find the caches around Bald Mtn. You will then walk North and stay to the West of BSA property. They have clearly marked their property line. The cache is on National Forest property.

I thought that this would be an appropriate placement for October.

If you are not a fan of cemetery hides, then this challenge is definitely for your ignore list. If you view cemetery caches as a way to pay respects to those people who have walked this earth before us, then you should have no trouble qualifying for this challenge.

Replace everything as found and have fun!

Final is a 30 caliber ammo can!
