Geocache Description:

This Challenge Geocache has been placed, with permission, in south Moorhead for your geocaching pleasure.

Groundspeak tells us that a Reviewers are "Volunteers from all over the world who publish the cache listings on geocaching.com."

Yes, they do publish caches; they read through the listings; e-mail cachers who submit caches (to remind them of what has to be done with the various cache types, what can not be done with the various cache types and if those two things are enough, they even remind you ((sometimes)) what state you placed your new cache in); respond to questions; remind folks that Groundspeak makes the rules, they just get to make sure they are followed; and yes, they publish caches. Those are the things I know of, but I am guessing they do more.

So here is a challenge series in their honor.

To qualify for this challenge you will need to have found caches that have been published by three different people. The first log entry on some geocaches will be the publication and will show who published the cache. The publisher is usually a reviewer, but not always. Past finds do count for this challenge, so you might already qualify. If you want to log this challenge as Found, show you are qualified by making a bookmark list or listing your qualifying finds (Name and GC code, please) in your log.

By the way, for the first few years of geocaching the first log entry is from the cacher(s) who got FTF or someone posting a note. It was not until c. 2004 that the Reviewers ‘Published’ log was viewable, so some of your finds might not list who published it and can not be used for this challenge.

Here is our list of qualifying finds;

GC1VCQN, Count Down to Lift Off, Minnesota, Surfer Joe Member
GC2V11E, Happy Birthday Grey Wolf, Minnesota, MN.Fruitcake Reviewer
GC5J9RT, The Regift, Minnesota, Gat R Done Reviewer


Heads up: The first 2 of the 2/2 rating is for needing to find caches by three different Reviewers and the second 2 is the height above ground the cache is placed. I had no trouble placing it, but not all cachers
are 6' 3".


P.S. I just came across a Challenge Checker that will, if you give it permission, check your stats to see if you qualify for this Challenge Cache. It will even generate a list for you to use, way easier then what I did to find and list Reviewers. The checker is at
