Geocache Description:

A Halloween themed Challenge cache placed for the Trick or Treat 2 event.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CACHE IS AT THE PUBLISHED CO-ORDINATES


To qualify to log this cache then you must have found and logged 20 distinct caches which have a word or words in the cache name which can be used associated with Halloween.


So we are looking for caches containing words like skull, ghost, witch, ghoul, scare, black, cat, magic, sleepy hollow, cemetery, chain, troll, monster, devil, imp, etc.

Caches can be found at any time, and it doesn't matter if they're still active or have been archived. Any cache type can be used (even earthcaches and event).

Just dont use same word or cache twice - no plurals. But something like death and dead are OK as death can refer to Death - the bones with the scythe. Oh and no changing the names of archived Highland Haggi caches!


You can sign the log in the cache for this challenge at any time and log a 'note' to the cache page, mentioning you signed the log.
 
But you may not log a find until you have completed the requirements (this way you don't have to go back to sign after you complete the requirements!). 
 
Once you complete the requirements, edit your log, change it to found, and change the find date to the date you completed the requirements and list the required information.

For example, here are my 20....
