Geocache Description:


This cache IS at the above coordinates.
You must meet the Challenge BEFORE you log the cache as found.



MONKEY FACE at SMITH ROCK N.P., TERREBONNE, OR Monkey Face at Smith Rock National Park
MONKEY FACE at SMITH ROCK N.P., TERREBONNE, OR

This series of Challenge Geocaches has been placed by the Central Oregon Geocaching Group (C.O.G.G.) and is not meant to be difficult to find. The caches are located on a road with minimal traffic, but cars do come by periodically (mostly during “commute hours”). Park on the side of the road and be careful. It should take only a short time to find and sign the log.

As there is a checker provided, you will know whether you qualify at the time you log. If you qualify on the date you sign the log, then that is the date of your find. If you sign the log sheet before meeting the requirements, just post a note stating that you signed the log and don't meet the requirements, then log your find on the day the requirements have been met.

The 5.0 difficulty rating is based on having to do considerable campaigning in order to find the required caches; the terrain rating of 1.5 is based solely on this cache location. These challenges are not intended to have a variety of D/T ratings.

The Challenge
(You may already qualify for this challenge)

To qualify for this challenge, you must gain enough Electoral College Votes to become President. This requires 270 or more. This can be done with as few as 11 states, or it could take as many as 41 states. I have included a map and list of states along with their respective number of available votes. You can do a manual vote tally or you can vote electronically with the provided checker. Good luck!

A geochecker has been added for your use.

You may sign the log prior to completing these requirements and log it as a note. When you have met the requirements, then log it as a "Found" and receive your smiley. There is a checker provided. You may cut and paste the results in your log just to speed things up for verification on our end. An image of your check mark on the checker is good enough evidence for us. (See below.)
