Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Minnesota BINGO Challenge!

This cache IS at the listed coordinates on the cache page...but is considered a mystery cache as there is definitely an extensive completion requirement in this Minnesota Challenge Cache!

The BINGO grid is filled with various geocaching activities, many of them Minnesota centric. You must have completed at least five of the listed activities in a row, column or diagonal creating a BINGO. Sorry, no 4 corners BINGO. If you can claim a BINGO line of five completed activities, you may find and log the cache.

The activities in the grid are widely varied in hopes that even seasoned cachers may have to try out something new to get a BINGO. The grid is also designed for your own level of caching, some lines requiring more physical activity than others. I hope that cachers will use the honor system and only seek out this cache if they can claim a BINGO. Kindly write in your log which BINGO line you are claiming along with the required activities you have completed. I can check certain attributes on your profile page (ex. number of webcams or puzzles) so just document the rest of your accomplishments somehow. Please comply with this rule so that I won't have the unpleasant task of deleting any logs that are incomplete... As far as FTF's go, I would consider two are available. One for a standard BINGO line and one FTF for the ultimate cacher.........the Blackout Bingo.

*Note (1) Currently (as of December, 2010) there are fifteen (15) possible cache type icons to collect that generate a smiley to your account. Benchmarks do not count for this square, since they do not add to your found cache total. For those of you fortunate to have one of the old 'Locationless' icons, that one will count as well since it adds to your found count!

*Note (2) As is with the case for most challenge caches, the posted coordinates for puzzles or multi's will need to be used to determine that cache's location.

Have Fun, Be Safe, BYOP

Grey Wolf's Stamp of Approval.
This cache may be located in a public park with posted hours. It is your responsibility to be aware of and adhere to any hours of operation. Logs indicating caching outside of those hours will be deleted.
