Example: My Calculations (This is how to LOG your Find).
1) MY FURTHEST EAST CACHE
GCJC8Q - Covered Bridge Tour of Ulster County (New York, United States). N 42° 04.833 W 074° 38.172. DISTANCE: E 1272.1 mi from your home location
2) MY FURTHEST WEST CACHE
GCKY6F - The Other Side (California, United States) N 37° 58.017 W 122° 34.884. W 1263.5 mi from your home location
ADD: 1272.1 + 1263.5 = 2535.6 miles
My Calculations show that I have a stretch of 2,535.6 miles from my furthest East Cache to my furthest West Cache Finds. This is farther than 2000 miles qualifying for the Challenge. NOTE: You are not measuring the distance from cache to cache. You are measuring the distance from your home location to each cache and adding those distances together.
TO LOG THIS CACHE and CLAIM YOUR SMILEY, you must provide proof that you have completed this challenge. In your FIND log, show your calculations as shown in the above example.
The cache is tethered to a wire. Remove cap and use a TOTT to remove the LOG and SIGN. Do not try to disconnect the container. This cache is not difficult to FIND. The D/T for the cache is based upon the Challenge. Report damage or wet contents. Park along the shoulder and use your flashers.
YOU MAY SIGN THE LOG at any time and make a note, but in order to get your smiley face, you must complete the Challenge and show proof of your finds. Anyone Logging a FIND and having an error in their List will be notified to make a correction or their LOG will be deleted.
