**** THIS CACHE HAS SPECIAL LOGGING REQUIREMENTS ****
**** NO LOGGING OF FINDS WITHOUT FULFILLING REQUIREMENTS
****
After discussing some challenge ideas with a friend of mine
recently, he came up with this excellent idea. The Ohio City Name
Challenge. (If this has already been done, I apologize and I'll
archive this one..But I hadn't seen anything like this out there
before)
In order to log this cache as a find, you must first find and log a
cache that was hidden in an Ohio city whose name begins with each
of the 26 letters of the alphabet A through Z (with the exception
of Q). Only the first character of the city name counts, examples
are as follows:
Ashland - Counts as letter A
Avon Lake - Counts as letter A, not L or anything else.
East Liverpool - Counts as letter E. Cardinal directions
count.

of Acceptable Ohio Cities
Documentation Requirements:
To document your progress and your completion of the challenge, you
must create a shared bookmark list that includes each of the
qualifying caches, along with this cache. It must show the Cache
Owner Name and Cache Name and the Date you found the cache. Make
the Bookmark list Public, so that it appears on this cache page.
Once this is done, please post a note on the cache page, or email
me so that I can verify your 25 finds and give you the REAL
coordinates for this cache. Found logs without this documentation
will regrettably have to be deleted.
Please remember to filter your finds down to finds in Ohio only. If
you don't create a bookmark list, send us a list of your claimed
eligible finds in a Word or Excel document. Be sure to include the
same information we requested for a bookmark list. This option is
for geocachers who are not premium members, or for anyone having
difficulty with managing a bookmark list.
Rules:
This is meant to be fun for all cachers, so we're not going to make
a lot of
rules, but there are a few.
1. You may not count a cache that you have hidden or have ever
owned.
2. All previous cache finds count.
3. ONLY Ohio Caches can be included in your list.
4. All cache types count EXCEPT Events (including Megas and CITO)
and Locationless Caches
5. In order to be a cache that counts for a specific city, the
cache location must be within the corporation limit of the city.
Note: Because there is no city in Ohio that starts with the
letter Q (someone correct me if i'm wrong, please.) The
requirements are reduced to finding the other 25 letters.
This should create quite an interesting and fun little
challenge. All 26 letters of the alphabet are used by city names
except for Q. We're hoping that this challenge will give you
another reason to expand your normal caching range to find the
needed caches.
Once you complete your bookmark list, be sure to notify me via
email or a note on the cache page so I can verify your 25 finds.
NOTE: I have not yet attempted to complete this challenge
myself. Upon doing so, or upon another cacher attempting to
complete this, if ANYONE notices any falters in the plan, such as
no caches existing in a city to get that letter, or not finding the
corporation limits or anything like that, PLEASE LET ME KNOW and
I'll correct the cache page as soon as possible to keep it
accurate. Thanks.
