In order to claim this cache, you must earn at least 23 points by finding the caches nominated for awards. Caches on the list are worth 1 point each (even if they are nominated more than once). Each completed series counts for 2 points (see special instructions for some of them below). There are 47 possible points. If you do not have enough points we will need to delete your log.
If you are just getting started in caching this is a great list to begin with (watch out for those tougher caches). Others of you will have already have enough points so go get it.
Here is a bookmark list to assist you. Let us know how many you have done in your log and we hope you enjoy them all.
Who will be the first to have 30, 40, or even all 47 points?
