There are a few
challenge caches in existence in the Eastern Ontario area, with
requirements that probably scare off the majority of cachers.
So this one can be easily completed by any cacher – and a new
cacher actually has an advantage over someone with 3,000 finds
under their belt.
Simply, you must
log 27 other caches, before going to log this one
in.
What are the
rules and conditions, you ask?
1.
You must find 27 different caches that you have never found
previously. Each cache name must start with a different
letter of the alphabet as it is posted on GC.com. So as an
example, “The X-Files multi” is a ‘T’
cache, not an ‘X’ one. The 27th cache
will be one that starts with a number or punctuation mark. If
you were to make a bookmark of the ‘qualifying’ caches,
the 27th cache would get listed as the first one in the
list by GC.com.
2.
The caches must be located within 50km of the posted
coordinates. Not 50.001 km. For multis and puzzles,
either the posted coords or the final cache location must be
inside of that 50km circle.
3.
Only caches found on or after the date this challenge cache has
been hidden count (see top of cache description page).
This is a few days earlier than the cache publish date, so some
cachers might already have half of their alphabet list completed
from a good weekend of caching!
4.
You can’t find one of your own caches.
5.
This cache does not count as the ‘G’. There has
to be at least one ‘GAG’ cache out there you
haven’t found yet!
6.
Please don't rename caches solely for this
challenge.
Don’t read
anything more into the rules. IE:
- The 27
‘qualifying caches’ don’t have to be done all in
a row. Find ‘B’ tomorrow, ‘Z’ next
week, and ‘R’ in November for all it
matters.
- The caches
don’t have to be found in alphabetical order
- There
don’t have to be ‘X’ amount found on either side
of the border
- There
don’t have to be any specific cache types found
- The caches
don’t need to have been hidden prior to this challenge being
published
When logging this cache:
Premium members will need to create a bookmark list of all 27
caches + this cache (so that it appears on the cache page).
When you log your find on this page, make the bookmark public so it
can be viewed. After I have checked it out, you can
hide/delete/remove the bookmark. For non-premium members,
send me a list of the 27 caches that you are using (or a
loc/gpx file if you wish). You don't need my permission
before logging, but remember this: For the first few finders,
expect that a few other cachers will go through all your finds
since 10 April 2010, and if there aren't 27.......public
humiliation will follow.
The container is
a regular sized lock n lock, at a winter-friendly height.
Coords from a good average, +/- 4.5m accuracy.There’s an
unactivated geo-nametag GC for the first finder.
Okay –
that’s enough of the yada yada. Get out on the trails
and find some caches!
