This cache was previously located in North Texas.
In order to log this cache, you must find and log the designated benchmark (at the Benchmarking section) during the designated month. You must also post a photo of yourself or another member of your group at the benchmark. If you have previously found the benckmark, you can log it as a note.
It was previously permissible to log finds on this cache more than once, but Groundspeak changed the rules for logging, so this is no longer possible. Additional months must now bw logged as a note. Older multiple find logs have been grandfathered in.
Here is the current list of Benchmarks of the Month. I've selected several of my favorites which will be on a 12-month rotation. I am still looking for nominations for additional benchmarks. Some of the marks listed will change as I find more interesting ones.
