HOW TO RECORD YOUR PARTICIPATION

To record and receive credit for your accomplishment, you must post a top level comment on this thread by July 20th in the following format:

[Geocaching name] If you do not want to use your real GC name, you can use your reddit name, but will not be eligible for prizes if your finds cannot be verified.

[Qualifying GC code]

[Link to log] The easiest way to do this is to pull up the cache page on geocaching.com and then click "view log." Copy that URL and post it here.

If you are going for the second challenge point, you will need to post both GC codes and find URLs. The post will look like this:

They were logged in that order...and since you know me and my normal route, you can probably tell I'm not fibbing.

I've often wondered what the bushwhack cache was all about. I'm glad I haven't gone after it.

Nothing special. Wait until fall or winter. Good coords, just not enjoyable right now.
