This challenge is a variation of
GEOCACHE City Challenge (GC2CWGT), which is apparently a knock-off of a similar challenge somewhere else. In order to post a smiley you must spell G-E-O-C-A-C-H-E from the first letter of the cities in which you have logged a cache.
What makes this the Hardcore Edition is that the NAME of the city must be included in the cache name. For example, to get the G not only would you need to find a cache in Green Bay, let's say, but it would also have to contain the name Green Bay in the title of that cache.
Other rules:
1) You may only use a city once. So if you use a cache from Chicago with the word Chicago in the title for the first C, you cannot use another Chicago cache for the second C. The same applies to the letter E.
2) You may not use a cache that you have placed.
3) Caches logged prior to the publication of this challenge are ok to use.
4) Generally accepted rules for logging a cache find apply. You must physically locate the caches, sign the log and log your find online for all the caches you claim for this challenge.
5) You must create a public bookmark of your found caches using the format in the bookmark below. If you are not a premium member, you may email me your list of caches/dates found. Found it logs that do not have a corresponding qualifying bookmark/email will be deleted. You must physically sign the cache log for this challenge to get your smiley.
6) Just so there is no confusion, it is REQUIRED that the cache actually be WITHIN the city limits of the corresponding city. So, for example, a cache with Chicago in the title within the city limits of Cleveland does not meet the requirements of this challenge.
Do we qualify for this cache? Of course we do. Here is our
bookmark in the format we would like you to use.
Please be sure to park legally on one of the side streets or in one of the nearby city lots when hunting the final cache, or, if you wish, you do not even need to get out of your vehicle as long as nobody pulls up behind you. Also, please use extreme stealth. If you do park and walk to the cache, please have a seat and enjoy one of my favorite spots in MY hometown (which has a great qualifying cache).
Congratulations to GeoGil for the FTF!
