You are to find, or to have found, seven caches in each of seven Love/Hate categories given in the following, plus this cache for a total of 50 distinct caches.
Caveats:
- Non-compromising: Your entering one of your finds into any of the categories should not compromise the hide of that cache.
- Verifiability: It should be evident from the cache page that the cache belongs to the selected category.
The Categories:
- Bridges. Maps should show that these are near where a road crosses a river.
- Interstate Rest Areas. The name of the cache or the map should show that this qualifies.
- LPCs. The name or cache page must include a term such as LPC, light pole, or skirt lifter to make one suspect it's an LPC.
- Micros in the Woods The size shown on the cache page should be micro and the description or map must show it to be in the woods. The deeper the better.
- Nanos. As nanos are classified as micros the description should specifically mention that it is a nano so as not to compromise the hide.
- Park and Grab. The P&G attribute icon must be on.
- Pine Tree Caches. The name of the cache should include pine, or something similar indicating an evergreen tree.
- Poisonous Plants The poisonous plants attribute icon must be on.
- Welcome to ... My Town. "Welcome to ..." should be part of the name of the cache.
- Wild Card. Make up your own category and vet your pet peeve. But be sure to abide by the caveats above. These in particular will be scrutinized.
Note there are more than seven categories from which to make your selection.
Claims In your log, or book mark, make it clear what categories were selected, what category the cache belongs to, and when it was found. Please see the sample log. If you use a bookmark, you may delete it one month after staking your claim and finding the cache.
FAQ: Any questions? Just ask.
- Q: I found a micro deep in the woods by a bridge and a light pole and some poison ivy. Can I count it for all four categories? A: Nope. Just one, but your choice. The caches must be distinct.
- Q: I hate Chain Linked Fence! They foul up my gps receiver and I have trouble finding them. How about a wildcard for them? A: Most likely such a wildcard would violate both caveats. BTW, hint:PNCF.
- Q: I hate it when TB Hotels are empty; could that be a wildcard? A: Nope. That's too dynamic. There's no way to verify from the cache page when it was empty.
- Q: My pet peeve is PMOs, particularly on public property. Could that be Wildcard? Well, I guess we assume a cache is on public property unless it's stated otherwise.
- Q: In Bridges, can pedestrian bridges count? A: Sure, so long as it's clear from the map or cache page there's a bridge there.
- Q: For a wildcard category like your Puzzles with Unchosen Container Size or one with Misspelled Titles could I use this cache? A: No, you have to find the cache before including it. Bsides I corected the mispellings of challange, cashe, and too in the tittle.
- Q: 7 by 7? Why not 10 x 10? A: I employed the the "You have to be able to solve it yourself" principle and couldn't get to 10. Furthermore, it got to be rather tedious. 10 by 10 would be 101 caches rather than 50.
- How about a wildcard for Tedious Challenges? The Challenge part would be okay, but the tediousness is rather subjective don't you think?
