Box of Crayons Challenge: (24 Pack) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

My childhood smells like a box of Crayola crayons. ~Terri Guillemets


The cache is at the posted coordinates, and can be signed at any time. But you must first meet the requirements below before you can log a smiley on this challenge. This cache is located along the sea wall on Treasure Island. You will get amazing views of San Francisco, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge & the Bay Bridge. You will also be taken to areas that have long been abandoned by the US Navy.

In order to qualify for this challenge you must have found or own a cache for each color in the box of crayons. (See list below) The color can either be in the cache title or in the cache owner’s name. You also must have at least 6 different cache types included in that list!

You must post some form of proof or list that you found enough qualifying caches, whether it's a list of names & GC's, spreadsheet, bookmark, etc. If typing out a list please mention which geocaches have the required 6 different types.

Some brief rules to follow:
-Any cache type can be included in your list, including event/CITO caches. Again there must be at least 6 different cache icons/types in your list of caches.
-If the color is made up of two separate words, you may use either word in the color title. IE: Forest Green may use the word Forest or Green.
-The color can be part of another word as long as the word is referencing the color. IE: Redwood is fine. Tired is not.
-No duplicate caches are allowed. If you are using the cache owner’s name, you may only use each name once.

The D/T rating is for the whole challenge and not for the hide. The hide is a 1.5/1.5.
