I hope you'll have a geochecker for us!

let's see Vince wants us to wait 10 minutes between guesses. 850 guesses times 10 minutes = 8500 minutes divided by 60 minutes per hour = 141.66 hours divided by 24 hours per day = 5.9 days. I'm sure to get right on it!

Here are a few of those unwritten rules:challenges

Thanks for that Cheech. It is nice to see at least they are in black and white someplace. You would think they would be in the rules/guidelines for hiding caches on GC.com. Last I knew that was the site that we submitted caches through. They need to get their rules in one place.

We're just sitting around waiting for someone to place the Challenge Cache around here based on having to complete a certain number of Challenge Caches.

Well, we're sitting, but maybe not waiting ;)

Link to written out rules for Challenge Caches. Quoting from there, "Challenge caches may not require the publication of a new cache as a logging requirement. Challenges must be achievable by those who do not own caches."

Feel free to run challenge ideas past me by email if unsure, as I don't monitor this forum every day.

For those of you that like challenge caches, here is the list for Ohio.
Ohio Challenges
For those of you that don't...I'm not sure if you can put a bookmark list on your ignore list or not. :wink:
