Challenges - some people love them, other people hate them. Most of these reflect a lot of travel and a variety of caching experience. This cache IS located at the posted coordinates. There is a special logging requirement. You’re welcome to sign it (bring your own pencil!) and post a note at any time, but you cannot claim a find unless you qualify. The D/T is based on the challenge. The hide is 1.5/2.0.
Finds that do not meet the challenge requirement will be deleted without warning.
Do NOT attempt to access this cache from the freeway exit!
