This cache challenge is a cross between Dominos and the game “Six degrees of Kevin Bacon”. Rules:
- In your online “Found It” log, please include a list of caches that qualify you for this challenge cache. I'd prefer you don’t use a bookmark list.
- Beginning with the name of your first geocaching.com find and ending with the name of your last milestone find (according to geocaching.com), make a chain with names of geocaches that you have found, that have words in common. Include the GC number and your find date.
- The words must be spelled the same, if one is possessive, the other one must be. If one word is singular, the next one must be. You may not link if one word is just part of the other word. For example, “the” is part of the word “speleothems” but they do not form a true link.
- The link words cannot be re-used as another link.
- You may not use caches in a series to create multiple links.
- You must have a minimum of 6 caches named (5 links) and a maximum of 12 caches named (11 links). Why? Cause that’s what I decided.
- Please highlight the link words.
- For you over achievers out there, go ahead and try to make the domino chain in the order that you found them. For that you can earn bonus points and my admiration.
Below is an example of my domino chain. Because I am way behind on logging, my last milestone shown on geocaching.com is my find #2000. My example has 10 caches (9 links).

Okay, I am an over achiever so I spent a little more time and made my chain in chronological order. I guess I get bonus points and my own admiration. Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!

Find #2000, Millennium Milestones Challenge, GC2TPCC, 11/11/2013
I had a goal for 2014 of hiding caches on days when the month and date match. I hid one cache on 1/1, two caches on 2/2, three caches on 3/3, and so on. It was hard work but I was able to keep it up all year. This is one of my twelve December hides. Thanks to all the cachers who have found my caches and sent messages of support and praise.
