Springtime Challenge Mystery Cache
retiredprof: Once again, I have found that I have been inconsistent and unfair...I have let several logs slip by that were in violation of the rules. I guess it has become clear that I am the world's worst proofreader, and that I shouldn't be publishing compilation hides such as this...Sorry for any inconvenience that this archival causes anyone. I will leave the container in place for a while for those of you who are nearing the finish line. Mea culpa, mea culpa...

The cache is hidden along the Bear River in southern Yuba County. Park at the red gate and walk one-tenth mile south to the hide. And be sure to note the logging requirements below.
************LOGGING REQUIREMENTS************
As Abbie and I were hiking along the Bear River today, we noticed how green everything is this time of year...a good season for caching. Your task is to find a dozen caches with the word "spring" or "springtime" in the title. Plurals are acceptable, but no compound words such as "springboard" or "springer spaniel" are acceptable. And place names, like "Indian Springs" and "Shingle Springs" can each be used only once. No series of caches, for example, from the same place are allowed.
There is no time limit, you may have already found the required caches. When logging this cache, list your requisite cache-finds as shown below...and include at least four categories (icons) in your list. So, spring has sprung...it's time to spring into action and start enjoying this spring weather...
