Geocache Description:


Container not at the given coordinates, but at the visible waypoint

 

I enjoy finding challenge caches, so I've set up the Hwy 118 Challenge Alley along a section of L.A. Avenue in order to share some favorite challenges I've encountered in my travels. Most caches are north of Hwy 118 on farm roads, with reasonable nearby parking. Cache containers are varied. Normal challenge cache rules apply: you can find the cache and sign the paper log at any time, but you cannot claim an online smiley unless you also meet the challenge conditions described below, as verified by the Project-GC challenge checker linked below. I will validate your find using that checker - there is no need to provide proof unless you wish to do so. Non-qualified finds can and will be deleted.

To qualify for this challenge cache, you must have found 25 other geocaches that have the "Challenge Cache" attribute. The introduction of that new attribute on August 31, 2020, made it possible for challenge caches like this one to be published under the Geocache Hiding Guidelines. Please note, this challenge cannot count as one of your 25 eligible challenge cache finds. Also note, the Challenge Cache attribute can only be used on a true challenge cache, so don't get the bright idea of getting the attribute added to other caches you may have found.  Unlike most other attributes, the Challenge Cache attribute is mandatory for all Challenge Caches.  It may be awhile before all the challenge caches you've found will have the attribute, so be patient and log a note until the systems catch up with your true challenge cache count.
