Geocache Description:

This challenge geocache is at the listed coords and has been placed with permission.
Along with the permission came a stipulation; do not park in the parking lot, park in the street.

The cache container is at the listed coordinates and rates a 1.5 for difficulty, we bumped the rating for the cache for the 16 prerequisite finds that must be made to qualify for this challenge.

There are four cardinal directions; north, south, east and west; or north, east, south and west if you want to use the "Never Eat Soggy Waffles" mnemonic.

To qualify for this challenge cachers will need to have found 16 geocaches with cardinal directions in their names, four for each direction. The words must stand alone and be spelled out, so "North River" would qualify, but "Northeast Park" and "Horace ND" would not qualify.
To show qualification cachers can create a bookmark with the 16 caches or list them in their log. If you do list them in your log be sure to give the code, the name and the date you found it, like those listed below.
