Tribute to the Four Ladies ... Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden about one-half mile south of the Star Bend Boat Launch. Park near the yellow gate, then hike about .16 miles south on the levee. Be sure to bring your cache retrieval pole, and note the logging requirements below.

The four ladies...Magpup, Mrs.Tanky, Rubberpaws, and Tufbill...hail from the Grass Valley/Nevada City area. They have found thousands of caches and have placed some very nice caches, too. They are the nicest group of cachers that you will ever meet. Ladies, this cache is for you!

To satisfy the logging requirements, you must find 20 caches. The first four must have been placed by the ladies, one from each of them...and each cache must be a different type (icon). See my examples below. Then, you must find and log 16 caches with the word "tribute" in the title. And be sure to include five different cache types on your list (of 20). I hope that you accept this challenge, and have the pleasure of meeting the four ladies someday...
