This is a challenge cache so it IS AT the given coordinates. You may find and sign the physical log and write a note online at any time, but you must meet the prerequisites before posting a “Found It” online.
To qualify, find 12 caches each with a 12-letter (or longer) word in their name. Each of your qualifying sesquipedalian words must begin with a different letter of the alphabet. The words don’t have to be common American/English, but they must be actual words, not made-up strings of letters. No proper names. Plurals and verb tenses are fine.
You need to include at least 6 cache types (icons). These may be any type that geocaching has ever used which add to your smiley count, and different types of events do count separately.
One cache that you place and maintain (or one event that you host) with a 12-letter word in its name can substitute for one qualifying find, but no more than one.
When you post your “Found It” log, please include the list of your finds in this format:

Like the other challenge cache currently on the island, the D/T is based on the difficulty of meeting the qualifications, the actual hide difficulty, and the fact that this cache is on an island with limited access. Terrain rating for the walk/bike ride to the cache location is a 2.
The replacement cache is a mag black nano, near foundation of the rusty old Rock Crusher. Previous film can container may or may not remain in/on a "bucket" -- locating and signing either log is plenty good enough. No need to move, open, close, or break any part of the machinery to find the cache.
Poison oak had been reported to be thick in the general area, but there should be no need to touch the bad plants to retrieve the cache.
