If you have been geocaching for a while now, you have probably done some kind of Challenge geocache. Some of these require that you find a cache with a name that includes a Symbol or Punctuation Mark.
Unfortunately, these can be few and far between. SO, for those of you who need a cache with a title that includes a symbol or punctuation mark, THIS IS THE CACHE FOR YOU!
On a QWERTY keyboard, the non-numerical keys include 32 various symbols and punctuation marks. These symbols are crucial for various forms of writing, coding, and communication. Just for good "measure", I included a musical note symbol (♪)!
Some of these strung together can also denote a bad or curse word when one does not wish to actually writer or say the bad word. For example: "Did you see what that #@!*&^* cat did?"
