H State Challenge. There is 1 US state that begins with the letter “H”: Hawaii. Find at least 5 caches on any one or combination of islands in this state. I can verify by checking Maps under your Statistics in your Profile page.
You must meet the requirements or your log will be deleted. Even though Geocaching.com gives you credit for finding only a single find in a state, I feel that to really claim a state one needs to find at least 5 caches and so one must do so to qualify. BYOP
This challenge cache is placed in honor of one of SLO County's most prolific geocachers, Dr.Grackle. No matter how hard I try to cover my local map with smileys, I will always have random "?"s scattered about with Dr.Grackle challenge caches that I have to strive to qualify for in order to see 100% smileys in San Luis Obispo.
I've always appreciated a good geocaching challenge, to me it adds to the adventure. So I thought I'd return the favor and place a challenge cache of my own smack dab in the middle of Doc G's hometown and obscure his perfectly smilied map with a "?" of my own.
Dr.Grackle has earned a souvenir for 48 of the 50 states with Hawaii being one of two not achieved. Hopefully this hide encourages the great Doc to take a vacation and go earn this smiley. To that I say, "Aloha Dr.Grackle!"
