Geocache Description:


Cache IS at the posted coordinates. Please see the description for the logging requirements.


Looking for caches placed in the beginning years of Geocaching can be very rewarding.....and quite addicting. Many of the caches still have the original containers and logs. Many of these older caches will take you to interesting areas of Minnesota to explore and experience.

This is a challenge cache, so you must complete the challenge in order to log a "Found it" for the cache. Feel free to visit the cache and sign the physical log anytime you wish, but you cannot log it online until you qualify.
In addition to finding the cache and signing the physical log, to qualify for a "Found It" online, you must:

Find 50 (or more) of the oldest 100 caches placed in Minnesota. Note: archived caches do count for your total if you found them before they were archived.


Use the following link to the Challenge Checker to help you determine if you qualify for this Challenge:


****** 100 oldest caches in Minnesota Challenge Checker*******



PGC Checker

In your "Found it" log, please provide evidence of your meeting the challenge requirement. Listing the qualifying caches in your log, attaching a Bookmark List, attaching your Challenge Checker output, or another way that definitively shows your accomplishment is also acceptable. If you have questions regarding how to verify, let me know. "Found it" logs not fulfilling the Challenge according to the checker used for this Challenge will be deleted.

The Difficulty rating of this cache is for the total effort it takes to find the caches, research your finds and document them for this challenge. Please help me out by documenting your qualifications in your log.

Actual rating for the cache hide is 1.5/1.5
.

Bring your own pen.

For those of you wanting a further challenge just let me know when you have found ALL 100 caches and I will add your name to this list of honor. Congratulations to all who have qualified.
