Geocache Description:



The cache IS located at the posted coordinates. However, in order to log this cache as a find, you or your registered team name must have found at least 2 caches with the "Abandoned Mines" attribute. Previous finds count. Any "Found" logs that DO NOT qualify will be deleted. Here is a link to the challenge checker:

PGC Checker

Geocaching.com requires owners of challenge caches to prove that they would qualify for their own challenge, and Project-GC tells me "You have found 5 caches of type 'Abandoned mine.' Here are my qualifying caches:

  1. **Abandoned mine** found 2008-10-22 [How Low Can You Go? (GC1GM0E)](http://coord.info/GC1GM0E)
  2. **Abandoned mine** found 2009-07-18 [The Hunt for A Lion (GC1PNVK)](http://coord.info/GC1PNVK)"

The St. Paul Challenge Series is intended to be a series of challenge caches that is accessible even to casual cachers. You could drive from cache to cache, but most caches are located 0.13 miles apart, so I recommend walking. I have attempted to place the caches in a logical order so that you can get them in numerical order with minimal street crossings. In a few instances, because of unsuitable geo-beacons, I had to put the cache on the opposite side of the street. I hope that you will forgive me.
