Geocache Description:

Help keep the local area caches in working order.


This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, AND you must complete the requirements below before logging a find.


This Cache Maintenance Challenge is designed to help maintain the area caches. It was placed in preparation for Geocoinfest 2010, but will continue after the event.


Before you can find and log this Cache Maintenance Challenge, you must do the following:


  1. Identify physical caches within a 50 mile radius of the Mega-Event which have not been visited (found, had a maintenance check, TB exchange, etc.). These can be caches you have already found or not. They can also be caches that you own.
  2. You must physically visit each of the caches. If the cache is a multi-stage, you must visit all stages. Check the condition of the cache. Make sure there is plenty of space remaining in the logbook. There will be hundreds of cachers coming to Geocoinfest 2010, so we want to be ready.
  3. Log each of the qualifying cache pages. Sign the physical log for the qualifying caches. If this is your first visit to the cache, post your online log for that cache as a find. If you have previously visited and logged the cache, post a note, notifying the user and the community that you visited and verified the cache to be in working order.
    Note: Any maintenance or repairs to the cache should be done only with permission of the owner.
  4. When you have found and logged qualifying caches totaling 50 points, go find this Cache Maintenance Challenge. When you post your find online, list the GC waypoint numbers of the qualifying caches and points earned for each visit. You do not need to get confirmation from me before logging, but I will be checking that you met the requirements above.
    Find logs for this Cache Maintenance Challenge that do not meet the requirements will be deleted.

Thanks for your help in maintaining the caches in the area!!
