Geocache Description:

 

**This cache IS at the posted coordinates.**
See additional requirements.


Here is another challenge for anyone. First meet the simple cache finding requirements and then find this easy cache. This cache was inspired by the Sil-nt L-tt-r Chall-ng- Challenge Cache (GC206KW) near Chicago, Illinois. The letter L can also be silent in such words as walk or could.

The word Noel comes from the French word Noel meaning “Christmas” and from the Latin word natalis meaning “birthday”. The First Nowell (also written The First Noel) is a traditional classical English carol, most likely from the 18th century, although possibly earlier. The original author is unknown.

 

The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!



Q. How is the Christmas alphabet different from the regular alphabet?
A. It has no "L". (Noel)

 

Requirements:

Find 30 caches without the letter L in the cache title.
1. The cache name as listed on geocaching.com can NOT have the letter L in it.
2. The cache name must have at least one of the other 25 letters of the alphabet as in "0207 F".
3. The cache name can NOT have ALL numbers or symbols as in "10-10-10".
4. The 30 caches must be found on 30 different consecutive days, but need not be in the same month.
5. There are no restrictions to the cache type, difficulty, size or location.
6. Past finds are permitted. If you found enough caches already, you may qualify. You can find this cache immediately after finding the 30th cache or any time after that.

Show that you have completed the challenge any way you see fit.  You can create a public bookmark, list them in your log or take a screenshot. Please include the GC number with the title and the 30 day period during which you found them.

Congratulations Khoda on the FTF.
