Geocache Description:

THIS IS A CHALLENGE CACHE!
There is a container at the posted coordinates.
You may sign physical log at any time. However, the challenge cache may be logged as found online only after the log is signed and the challenge tasks have been met and documented.


****LOGGING REQUIREMENTS****

In order to log the cache as Found you must first find 25 qualifying caches with the WORDS: cemetery, grave, graveyard, boot hill, tombstone, final resting place, or R.I.P. in the title or description. Caches can be active or archived.

To complete this cemetery challenge you must:

  1. Find the cache and sign the log
  2. List your finds in the log (format below) or provide a Book Mark List (BML) with your 25 qualifying caches
    • At least 5 of the cemetery finds must be outside the state of Arkansas
      • ​​You may "Write a Note" if you found the cache and signed the log but haven't yet completed the challenge qualifications
      • ​You may "Write a note" if you have met the challenge qualifications and provided a BML or list of caches but not yet found the cache or signed the log
      • Any unqualified "Found It" logs will be asked to change to "Note" or they will be Deleted.
Dec 2022 update: adding checker below that uses keywords in cache titles to search your found caches for qualifying cemetery caches. It will find and count a vast majority of caches but might miss a few based on the name.
