I L B C N U ... 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This cache has been archived.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 located along the east side of the Feather River. Park at the yellow gate (394/654) and hike south on the levee. After .15 miles veer west onto the river trail, and be sure to note the logging requirements below.

I have noticed that there are a lot of abbreviations in the caches I find. Now it's your turn. You must find 24 caches with these common abbreviations: 12 with "U" for "you," 3 with "EZ" for "easy," 3 with "R" for "are," 3 with "N" for "and," and 3 with "Y" for "why." Make sure that the "U" doesn't stand for a type of turn, and that the "Y" doesn't stand for a fork in the road. See my examples below.
No lab or locationless caches are allowed, and only one cache from a series is permitted. And, be sure to include three different types (icons) of caches in/on your list. Hopefully, after you complete this challenge, I L B C N U on the caching trail...
