A Simple Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden along the levee (at the east end of Sacramento Avenue) about 15 miles south of Yuba City. Park at the yellow gate and hike about a quarter mile SE...after you meet the cache requirements stated below.


This really sounds simple...simply find 15 caches with the word "challenge" in the title. Now here's the rub...no puzzle caches allowed, no locationless or lab caches, and only three caches from a series are acceptable. The words "challenged," "challenging," and "challenger" are not permitted. The caches you need lie few and far between, making this simple challenge not quite so simple...Good luck in your travels...
