The DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer is published for all 50 states. These maps are a favorite among travelers and outdoorsmen and are available at many locations, including online directly from DeLorme. The goal of this cache is simple: To find a cache on each and every page and block of the South Carolina State DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer.

The final cache coordinates can be obtained by successfully finding or having hidden a cache in each page of the Atlas.

Based on feedback from and incidents seen with DeLorme Challenges in other states, some guidelines need to be laid out:

1. As mentioned above, the posted coordinates are not the actual coordinates for the cache. The cache may actually be quite some distance from these coordinates!
2. Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply. These must be bona fide caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally (physically) found and logged. You may include caches found or hidden prior to the creation of the South Carolina DeLorme Challenge so long as they meet all other Challenge requirements.
3. Placement of a cache on a DeLorme Atlas page counts the same as finding a cache on that page, but only if it was placed prior to the date the Challenge was issued by the person hiding or rather issuing the challenge.
4. All cache types count as finds or hides for the DeLorme Challenge with the exception of events (CITO included) and locationless caches.
5. If a DeLorme Atlas page includes space not located in the challenge state, only caches in the challenge state portion count.
6. A cache is eligible ONLY if it lies in a full block on a DeLorme page. The border (partial or half-space) blocks on each edge of each page do not count.
7. While you may have others with you when you find the final cache, only those who have fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache will be allowed to log it as a find. Find logs by other cachers will be deleted.
8. When in doubt ask —- we can discuss it or even seek guidance from others, but the final decision rests with the cache owner.
9. Remember that this is a game and is supposed to be fun!
