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 10 other geocaches that have the "Bonus 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. . Also note, the Bonus Cache attribute can only be used on a true bonus 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 Bonus Cache attribute appears to be mandatory for most bonus caches.  It may be awhile before all the bonus caches you've found will have the attribute, you can always ask the CO to add the attribute if it hasn't appeared.(like I have )
