After you have completed ALL 9 of either horizontal, vertical or the combination diagonal, you can claim "BINGO" and now claim the find.
The twist to this cache, and the reason of the high D/T rating, is that the Bingo must happen in 1 day (yes, in a 24 hour span).
This Challenge Cache will hopefully find a place for everyone to be able to complete, but it could be difficult physically or mentally and test your skills at being a geocacher.
- If your brain freezes at the thought of trying to find a 5 star difficulty cache or you just like to hike, then you should try the Horizontal Card.
- If you are not skilled at hiking and love the challenge of finding the cache, then you should should try the Vertical Card.
- But, if you are a GeocacheAholic (like myself) and enjoy any and all caches, then the true challenge in this game would be to go for the Diagonal Card and try for the line from 1/1 to 5/5 or from 5/1 to 1/5.
THE RULES!!
NO EXCEPTIONS
- ANY cache listed on Geocaching.com is valid for this challenge.
- Only Physical caches containing a logbook you have signed, qualify. (Virtual, Webcam, Earthcache and Event Caches do not qualify)
- You CANNOT claim a cache that you have previously or currently own.
- This Bingo Challenge cache DOES NOT qualify as a find for Difficulty 5 and Terrain 3.
- You may NOT log this cache as a find until the requirements have been met for each of the nine individual caches you use to fill your card. All rules pertaining to those caches must be followed as well.
- All finds (of this final cache) with non-qualifying logs WILL be deleted at my discretion.
WHEN YOU HAVE BINGO!
- You MUST venture to find the final cache and sign the logbook, but instead of yelling "Found It!" (when / if you do), you SHOULD yell out "BINGO!"
- Then you MUST (not optional) log your find and claim your
by telling which card you have completed AND either:
- Listing the qualifying caches in your log with the date found, difficulty and terrain rating, (for non-premium or premium members).
OR
- Create and insert a link to YOUR bookmark list with each of your qualifying caches labeled with the date found, difficulty and terrain rating, (for premium members only due to feature of premium membership).
- Please log only one time.
Additional Information:
- If you have not met the requirements of this challenge, you may visit this cache, sign the log book and post a note on this page. When you have met the requirements of this challenge, you may then post a "Found It" log without having to revisit the cache.
