An easy micro for any cachers interested in Baad Daata's FANTASDIC GC4Q1T5 Pepper Mint Challenge.
BTW, "Asdic" is an important high-tech detection technology, but you shouldn't need it to locate this cache!
PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR OWN PENCIL OR PEN

Back when I set this cache, Baad Daata's GC4Q1T5 Pepper Mint Challenge (25 caches with "Mint" in the title) presented a serious challenge, given the general lack of mint-related caches at that time. At least we were fortunate to have a starter-string of Mint caches set by the League of ID Cachers along Executive Airport Drive (Via Inspirada) in southwest Henderson. But to advance from there was tough - we ended up driving to Gallup, St. George, Phoenix, Prescott and Palm Springs to complete the task! Anyway, to spare anyone else interested in Baad Daata's challenge from at least a little research, I attached a list of some comparatively "nearby" Mint caches. That list is now of course outdated and there are many more Mints awaiting you around the greater Vegas area.
GC5GT68 Carson City Mint, Henderson.....GC5GT6D West Point Mint, Henderson,
GC5GT6K Philadelphia Mint, Henderson....GC5GT93 San Francisco Mint, Henderson
GC5GT98 Denver Mint, Henderson.......... GC5GT9A New Orleans Mint Henderson,
GC30EHR Mochaccino Mints, Gallup, NM*.GC5HAR7 Mint y Fresh, Henderson
GC5HARA Spear Mint Gum. Henderson.....GC5HAR9 Double Mint Gum, Henderson
GC5GT61 Dahlonega Mint, Henderson......GC4XK8X Peppermint Sticks, Sunset&Durango
GC5GR24 Charlotte Mint, GVPkwy & Horizon GC4Q1T5 Pepper Mint Challenge, Craig Rd
GC4W80R Peppermint Hot Chocolate, I-15 near 93 turnoff
GC4RME1 Spearmint, and GC39VAX Doublemint, Near Littlefield, AZ
Apart from the above, I know of 3 in the Reno area, 3 in Palm Springs, 1 near 29 Palms, 1 in Prescott and 2 in Chandler, AZ, 1 in Denver... (let me catch my breath) and several up near Mountain Home, ID... and loads in Florida and a string of Mintally Disableds in Texas... Not an easy challenge to meet in the NV/UT/AZ area, unless we get to work setting Mint Caches!
* Okay, I know Gallup, NM isn't very close, but their Balloon Festival each December is beautiful. I got it!
