2. In your bookmark, for the comments of each cache. Please include the date you found that cache.

3. In your "Found" log. Use the latest of the two dates. Either the date you completed this challenge, or the date you found the final physical container. Whichever date is the lastest use for your online log.

If you have ANY questions, or concerns Please feel free to message me through geocaching.com. Unless your one of the lucky few that have my real email address. In which case you can email me there as well. :)

Enjoy the challenge!



P.S. If you believe this cache or any of my caches need my attention for whatever reason. Please log a "Need Maintenance" log in addition to either your "Found" or "DNF" log. I will Not be offended. This is because I have over 250+ cache hides & by logging an "NM" log this will be of great help to me in maintaining all of my cache hides, & which caches of mine that need my attention. Thank You in advance for your help in this matter.
