The Challenge
Within Alberta, find 26 Unknown-type caches with titles that begin with the letters A to Z.
Feel free to click on the Project-GC banner, below, to see if you've completed this challenge:
The Details
-
All caches must be located in Alberta.
-
The first character of the 26 cache titles must begin with each of the letters A to Z (uppercase or lowercase). If a title begins with a digit, quotation mark, or any other special character, then it cannot be used in this challenge.
-
You can use any type of Unknown (i.e, Mystery/Puzzle) cache: puzzle caches, challenge caches, night caches, beacon caches, etc. As long as it’s categorized as an Unknown cache type (i.e., blue question mark icon), then you’re okay.
-
You cannot include this cache among your qualifying finds.
-
Normal geocaching conventions apply. For example, you cannot find your own caches.
Logging this Cache
You can sign this cache’s physical log sheet before you complete its requirements. But do not log an online “Found It” until you’ve signed this cache’s physical log sheet and shown that you’ve met the challenge requirements. We’ll delete any premature “Found Its.”
If you sign the physical log sheet before you complete the requirements, then you can log an online “Write Note” to help you remember this fact.
Providing Proof
One of the things you must do before claiming an online “Found It” is show that you’ve met this challenge’s requirements. You can do this in various ways, but just be sure your list of 26 qualifying caches includes (at a minimum): (1) their GCCodes, (2) their titles, and (3) the dates you found them.
-
For example, you could create a publicly viewable bookmarks list.
-
Or, you could include the list as part of your online log. The Project-GC challenge checker's output (see above) might assist you in this task. For instance, here’s a partial list of our qualifying finds:
05/29/2009 - GC1ENH6 - Another Chapter in Literacy
06/27/2009 - GC1EKXG - Bently Azure Base - CCARS08
06/24/2009 - GC1EMTP - Cheverolet Corvette Z06 - CCARS08
...
06/13/2011 - GC15M54 - Zamboni nano
-
Or, you could use third-party software to create your list and upload an image of that list to your online log. For instance, here’s a full list of our 26 qualifying finds:
