Geocache Description:

Cache is at the given coordinates.  However, you must qualify for the challenge before logging it as a find.  I recently completed a challenge like this in the  St. Louis area and decided to copy it closer to home.  It was a challenge for me and I'm hoping others will enjoy it as well. 


The cache itself is a nano that should be an easy find.  The difficulty in this cache is the challenge itself.   The challenge involves the positive attributes that are on the cache pages.  I've always added attributes to my caches but in working on this challenge found that not all cache owners do.  The attributes can provide helpful hints when you are trying to find a cache or clue you in that a special tool might be needed.

There are 66 positive attributes.  The challenge I completed required you list caches with 64 of those attributes.  I think 62 is a more attainable number.  So, to claim this cache as a find, you must create a bookmark list or type your list into your log reflecting 62 out  of the 66 attributes found.  Just a note, there is no #16.  You may not use the same cache twice.  Please list the attribute, GC#, and name of cache.

Screen shots will not be allowed. I can not tell from a screen shot if the same cache has more than one attribute related to it. Geocheckers are not allowed either for the same reason. ProjectGC says this: "Not all checkers are 100% accurate and most are probably not created by the author of the challenge itself. You therefore have to make sure that the result actually is correct before you log the challenge caches as found." I did NOT create this checker so it may not be accurate. Logs with a reference to a geo-checker will be deleted with no warning.

You may sign the log at any time but can only claim it as a find once you have completed the challenge.

*If you cannot post your qualifying caches with original log, please don't log a "found" until you can. You can put a note and change it to a found once you can.
