Geocache Description:

I am reactivating my challenge caches, but if the incorrect logging continues I will be forced to archive them.

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY

  • If you log a find without following the logging requirements on the cache page your log will be permanently deleted.
  • If you log a find without meeting the qualifications for the challenge your log will be deleted, but you may relog it whenever you do qualify.
  • NOTE: Referencing Project GC as proof that you qualify DOES NOT meet the logging requirements for any of these caches. Project GC is not always right, and they have a disclaimer on their page stating that.

This is part of a series of challenge caches which are all about non-traditional cache types.  Some will be easy, and designed to introduce new cachers to these other cache types.  Others will be difficult for even the most experienced cachers.  Most will fall somewhere between these extremes.  Anybody may log any of the challenges, and may use new or old finds to qualify.  The only requirement is that you meet the challenge shown below.  The actual hides will be easy, the difficulty rating reflects the difficulty of the challenge.  The terrain rating is for the actual hide.

This is non traditional challenge number 16.  It is moderately easy.  Please read the requirements carefully to be sure you qualify.


You may sign the log at any time, but you can only log the cache after you meet the requirements below.

To prove that you meet the requirements include a list in your log showing the 3 qualifying caches.  Your list must include the GC numbers, cache types and cache names.



REQUIREMENTS:

To qualify for this cache please read the requirements below.  This cache commemorates Tax Day, since it was activated on April 15:


  1. Find and log at least three non-traditional caches that have the letters "IRS" embedded somewhere in the cache name.
  2. The letters must be consecutive, but spaces and/or punctuation marks may fall between the letters.
  3. You may use any cache type except traditional, lab and locationless.
  4. Event caches may be used, but temporary caches that are part of an event may not be used.

That's all there is to it, good luck.


To verify that I've met these requirements, my list is shown below.  I have 5 qualifying caches, but I'll list the three that are closest to this one in case anyone needs some ideas.




GCH3V4  Multicache  First Pine Lane Cache
GC1KR96  Unknown  First Settler
GC1DGKK  Unknown  The First Meeting House


It will be interesting to see if anyone can use a cache that does not have the word FIRST in it.
