Geocache Description:


The Aurora Challenge Trail Bonus Cache #1: Tenderfoot

A tenderfoot is basically a tourist. They are brand new to Alaska, and may appreciate it but maybe aren't ready to commit yet. Do you have what it takes to explore Alaska? Find 15 caches on the Aurora Challenge trail to find out. 

This bonus cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Don't go there. It will not help you find the cache. To find this cache, you must first find and sign the log of 15 or more caches on the Aurora Challenge Trail. You do NOT have to qualify for and log-as-found those challenge caches; just visit them and collect the code word that is written on the lid of the cache and on the inside cover of the log book. Keep track of those codes as you go!

Once you have 15 code words, enter them here:

Tenderfoot Code Words

When you have 15 correct code words, the system will automatically provide you with the coordinates to this bonus cache. If you have any problems at all, including remembering the 15 code words you've found, be sure to log a "I signed this cache note" to the 15 challenges you've signed and then message BirkenstockReport for help. 

Congratulations on becoming an Alaskan Tenderfoot!
