THE CACHE IS AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.
But - to log as a find, please read and complete the challenge below.
Names are great. Nicknames can be a blessing or a curse. The missus was known as "Moe" in past years. We were thinking about how many caches are named for the person who placed them, for a family member or friend, or for a favorite movie or fictional character.
You'll be looking for caches with given names in them. No last names or surnames - though some can be both, like Lewis or Vernon. Real names and fictional characters both count. Cache titles such as "Phillip's Cache" count, but names that are part of another word, like Hazelton, Hanksville, or Williamsburg, will not count. Also geocaching user names do not count, unless they are otherwise legitimate names. We found almost 150 unique given names in our cache list. All past finds count toward this challenge, but a cache owner can only count caches placed BEFORE this one! (4th of July 2010)
The challenge is to find names starting with each letter of the alphabet. For the letters I, Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z, you only need 3 of the 7. Give yourself a couple of extra smilies if you find more than the 3 required. List the name and GC # of each cache. Hope you have fun finding your names!
Here's our list - hopefully with enough examples to show what counts.
