Geocache Description:


This is a challenge cache. The first of its kind in Kerala and my first one too. Even though it has the same icon as a mystery cache, it works a bit differently: the container is located right here at the posted coordinates, no puzzle solving needed. But to log it online as a “found it,” you’ll need to complete the challenge first.

For this cache, the challenge is: you must have found at least one cache in the state of Kerala. Please note: this very challenge cache itself does not count toward fulfilling the requirement. There may not be a huge number of caches around here, but there are definitely enough to achieve the goal.

If you haven’t met the requirement yet, you’re still very welcome to come by, find the container, and sign the logbook. In that case, just post an "write note" instead of a “log geocache”. Once you’ve found a cache in Kerala and the checker confirms with green, you can log your find online—with a proof as mentioned below.

 

Use this checker to find out whether you meet the challenge requirements. If the checker turns green, you’re good to go! A screenshot of the green checker would be a great attachment to your log.

When searching, please be a little careful: watch out for muggles, and take your time to look properly—there’s no need for any poking around or rough searching.

I’ve completed this challenge myself, so I know it’s definitely possible. Have fun exploring, enjoy your time in Kerala, and good luck on your geocaching adventures!

And a big thank you goes out to ratsy, who kindly helps me maintain this cache.
