Geocache Description:


This cache is at the posted coordinates.

Another cache in the Hodgepodge challenge series.

When caching we all need to eat and drink.  I wonder how many of us use these attributes to decide where we will stop for a bite to eat.

In trying to keep the hide in-theme, the cache container is nestled in a tree near a place that provides food and drink.   I hid the cache there because I feel you can look inconspicuous looking for the cache and signing the log.  Please rehide the container the same way making sure you cover it with leaves, etc.

 

The Challenge

To qualify for this challenge, you must find

  • 25 caches with the Food nearby attribute, AND
  • 25 caches with the Drinking water nearby attribute.

Note:

  • All cache types except adventure lab caches and benchmarks can be used for this challenge.
  • If a cache has both attributes, it can be considered for both criteria.
  • Past finds count.  Any caches that you have found and have been archived or disabled after you have found them can be used for this challenge if they meet the criteria.
  • Caches found in other countries count if they meet the criteria.
  • In your log, you must include the script from the ‘Example log’ from the Project-GC challenge checker.

Finding This Cache

Please remember to be respectful of the cache location. Be aware of how and where the cache is placed so that it can be returned exactly the same way for the next person(s) to enjoy. 
09-07-2023: the cache container is now a camouflaged pill
bottle.  Please cover thoroughly with natural debris. 

Logging This Cache

As with any challenge caches, you are welcome to physically sign the log for this cache and log it as "Write Note" if you haven't met the challenge's requirements yet.  Please bring your own pen(cil)/writing instrument to sign the log.

Please use this Project-GC challenge checker below to verify you have qualified for this challenge and remember to include the script from the ‘Example log’ from the Project-GC challenge checker.
