Geocache Description:

CHALLENGE CACHE - PLEASE READ LISTING.


The cache is at the posted coordinates. BUT, in order to log this as a find, you must complete the qualifications pertaining to the GC Codes.

Each geocache listing has a unique code at the top right of the page. Each code begins with GC. What you will need to look for is the first letter or number that follows the GC. (For instance if the GC Code is GC49C8H, you are looking for the 4 because it is first after the GC). In the history of Geocaching, there have been 30 different characters after the GC. These include the numbers 1-9 and some of the alphabet. 

Here is the challenge:

IN ORDER TO LOG THIS CACHE AS A FIND YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETED THESE REQUIREMENTS. Once you have done so, go find it and sign the log. It's that simple.

You need to find 30 caches. Any cache type will fulfill the requirements.

---The available numbers immediately after the GC are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. You must find one of each that follows the GC. (example GC70 will qualify you with the 7).

---The available letters immediately after the GC are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, M, N, P, Q, R, T, V, W, X, Y, Z.    You must find one of each that follows the GC. (example GCF4 will qualify you with the F).

---The hide is about 1.5/1.5, very basic. The 4 difficulty is for the challenge of qualifying and the 3 is for the distance you will travel.

---The easiest way I have figured how to check is to go to your geocache finds and sort them by the oldest to newest. Start at the oldest and you will be able to mark some off the list and just continue down your list, it really doesn't take too long.
