Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Deck of Cards Challenge!

The cache IS at the posted coords, but you must fulfill the requirements of this challenge before being able to claim the find!

Requirements:
1. You must have at least one (1) find on caches that have these words in their titles - King, Queen, Jack and Ace. I want the stand-alone words in either singular or plural form. Words such as Parking, Jackpot, and Race will not count.
2. You must have at least one (1) find on caches that have the following numerals in their titles - 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I want the numerals, not words such as two, six, or ten. Also, caches that have numerals such as 010, 2006, or where there is use of the pound sign (#9) don't count. An example of a good qualifying cache title would be something like "Friday Pizza 3", or "Big Bang 5".
3. You must have at least one (1) find on caches that have the words heart, diamond, spade, and club in them. Again, I want the stand-alone words in either singular or plural form. Words such as heartland, clubbing, or diamondback do not count.
4. There aren't any Jokers or Wild Cards in this deck.
5. Only finds on traditionals and multi-caches count.
6. You must have a day where you have made at least 52 cache finds. These finds can be of any type.
7. Finds at any time during your caching career count towards the challenge.
8. Please do not sign the log until you have fully qualified.
9. You must provide a bookmark list to show your qualifying caches. Your list should have a total of 17 qualifying caches on it.
10. A qualifying cache can only be used once towards the challenge. Example: A cache named "King of Spades 3" can only count towards King, Spades, or 3.
