Geocache Description:

This is a challenge cache.

The cache IS at posted coordinates. You must meet the requirements of this challenge before logging it as a find.

You're looking for a micro cache with log only. BYOP. You must sign the physical log before claiming your smiley here. You should be able to grab this cache right out from under the nose of security.
 

About Souvenirs:
Souvenirs are virtual pieces of art that you can discover and display on your profile page.  Some souvenirs are awarded for their geographical location (logging a cache find in a state) while others are awarded differently. For example, you might get a souvenir for attending a specific Mega-Event or logging a find on a specific day (12-12-12). A list of available souvenirs is below and hope that you enjoy discovering these unique pieces of art!

Special Note:  Groundspeak recently announced that you can earn a Souvenir each day you have a find in August 2013 so if you don't meet the requirement yet you can by September. 

 


You must meet the cache page requirements to log this cache. Failure to follow the listed rules WILL result in your log being deleted.

The Rules/Requirements:


1. You must have earned at least thirty (30) Groundspeak Souvenirs.  They should be in your souvenir tab of your profile page.  (I will be checking)

2.  In you log entry please list how many you have and which Souvenir is your favorite and why. (I have 49 Souvenirs including 41 states + DC, 5 date specific, one for visiting Groundspeak Headquarters, but my favorite is from visiting the Original Cache Location (just outside Portland, OR). 

3. (optional) If you can, include a screen shot of your favorite Souvenir with your log.

The cache find itself should be relatively easy. Now, check your stats and see if you qualify. If you do, go get it!

The original cache (then called a "GPS Stash") was placed on May 3, 2000 by Dave Ulmer. It was a five-gallon bucket that contained an assortment of items - the most famous of which was a can of black eyed peas (known to geocachers as a "can of beans"). The location is now commemorated by the plaque depicted in this souvenir GCGV0P
 

Congratulations to "???" FTF!!
