The Grid Challenge Series Caches
The Grid Challenge Series involves Caches throughout the Portland
Metro Area and utilizes the 2010 Thomas Map Guide of
Portland. It is a 4.5 Star/4.5 Star Cache because of its
difficulty and the time you will invest to complete it.
Reading all the directions before you attempt to “Log”
this Cache is advisable to keep from the axing of your log, just
joking.(Threats I hate.)
This Cache is based around "The Thomas Guide Portland Metro 2010"
edition grids and has a macro for GSAK to loaded and coincides with
the following series:
Grid
Challenge Macro
Vancouver Grid Challenge
GC212WH
Portland Thomas Guide 2008 Challenge
GC19RXB
Portland Vancouver Thomas Guide Metro Area 2010 GC2NFBX
General Requirements
This Geocache GC2NFBX is in place at the above coordinates
but can only be logged by those cachers that have posted a public
profile using the above macro utilizing GASK Find Stat Generator
with the associated map for this cache or bookmarked to this page
each cache fufilling the pages they are claiming and emailed a copy
of the gpx with the caches fufilling the challenge to the CO email
address to be verfied prior to logging. You must read this
geocache information page for all the requirements to complete
before claiming the find. When you have met the requirements,
e-mail the cache owner at their profile on geocaching.com and
request verification that the conditions for seeking this cache
have been met refering to the method used either the map or gpx
file.
This Cache has no time limit however, if you totally complete this
challenge you will have seen a tremendous amount of the Portland
metro area while enjoying a lot of caching too.
Specific Requirements
To Claim a “find” for this Geocache you will need
to:
1. Use, or have access to(at a local library), “The
Thomas Guide Portland Street Guide 2010” and find a Cache on
every or even easier use the mentioned Macro & map combination
Grid
Challenge Macro. Note: even with an old edition you can easily
tell the missing grids if compared to "Baradam's Profile" that
shows the macro map.
2. Geocache published on geocaching.com is eligible for a
find if it meets all the other requirements of the Thomas
Challenge. There is no date limit, any Geocaches that you
have ever Found that meet the listed requirements count toward the
completion of this Challenge. If the Geocache that you claim
has been archived, your provision of the GC number in the gpx file
is adequate proof that it was a valid Geocache.
3. Every grid in the 2010 Guide must have atleast one cache found
in it including those in the Vancouver, Washington Area as a
special allowance with permission from the CO and only if there is
a grid that has less than 10 caches in it to further the sport you
may plant your own cache and claim the grid however this must be
prior approved.
4. When you have completed this Challenge, notify the Geocache
Owner at the e-mail address found on the appropriate geocaching.com
profile page, that your results are posted either in your profile
using the Macro & map of GSAK with your link or you have
created public bookmark and attached the gpx file containing the
caches for verification.
5. Once your verification is complete, you may find and log
“The Portland Thomas Map Challenge” at the above
provided coordinates. That verification is only valid for the
Geocacher that submits a valid claim which is verified and not for
anyone else that may accompany the verified Geocacher to the Final
Cache. In other words, only one logging per verification, and
others will disappear into siber space just as they appeared.
6. Please check back to this Cache Page for Updates prior to
submitting your claim for validation to Owner for Review.
Geocache Owner reserves the right to clarify/add/alter Requirements
based on problems or issues. It wouldn’t hurt to check
every so often just so you don’t have to redo
something. All modifications to the
requirements will be issued in red for a period of 4 months which
may include clarifications or limitations.
The 4.5/4.5 rating of this cache is based on the time, effort and
difficulty of completing all the requirements necessary to log this
cache. This Thomas Challenge should be fun and I am counting on the
Honor System for sticking to the rules.
Thank you very much for respecting these rules. The intent is
to have fun and for the competitors to be accomplishing the same
tasks and enjoy the sport. Geocaching is an honor sport even though
we sign logs and similar it is a personal assessment. Other
than providing the required map and gpx all other validation is of
personal assessment. The object of this cache is a personal
challenge to complete it and provide a goal for those that enjoy
accomplishment. The CO is not a geocop looking for violators but
just wish to add to the geocaching experience. Enjoy and have a lot
of geo-fun!!!
Congrats PDXJim for FTF
