EarthCaches are all around the world and overseen by the Geological Society of America. As many of you know I love a good EarthCache and I have had the tendency to go off course to grab one. All EarthCaches are organized by a classification system, which can be found on EarthCache.org and clicking on the EarthCache listings link on the left. The subtype is not necessarily listed on the cache page at Geocaching.com. For this challenge you must use the subtype that EarthCache.org has the EarthCache listed as. This list is updated every couple of weeks.


Rules for logging:


1) Find an EarthCache for each subtype listed above.
2) All past finds are eligible.
3) Create a Bookmark List with your 20 EarthCaches listing the EarthCache's classification and date found.
