Counting past finds (even if the cache is now archived), we have 31 grids found and 32 to go.
Rick, you said past finds count but didn't mention if "now archived" is ok too. |

Ooh, good point! I had actually intended for it to be active caches but did not mention or for that matter think about archived caches.
For this detail I will start a poll and go with the majority opinion. |

Beware the Thorns! |
Checking for clarification - CITO's, events, locationless, virtuals, webcams, earth caches are not counting for the Challenge, correct? Just regulars, multi's, unknowns, and letterbox hybrids keerect?
Thanks! T1 |

Oh I thought only traditional caches counted.
But I would hope that archived caches count as well.  |

I thought events and CITOs counted. In fact, "micro" is listed as "traditional cache." So wouldn't that count too? This too confusing... a cache is a cache. |

Beware the Thorns! |
Micros count - they are regular caches. The qualification is "Only traditional caches with physical containers and logbooks".
But that's also why I'm asking for a clarification  This message has been edited. Last edited by: Thorny1, |

If you want to start on a level playing field, no past finds should count!!
 I'm sure someone is probably out on the road right now and will complete this challenge before Christmas! Hehee!  This should get interesting! |

Thats my thinking and the approach I'm taking. Its going to take me years to do this anyways so it doesn't really matter to me. Its all fun to go all across our state. I've only been here 2.5 years so there is a lot of Georgia I haven't seen yet. |

If you don't allow archived, it means that the cache must still be active on the date you complete the challenge. That's an awful lots of time to gamble that a cache will still be active when you're finished. |

The way that it is worded, and that can change, is only traditional caches that have the final stage coords posted on the cache page. That would eliminate multi, mystery, and some letterbox caches. The reason that I worded it that way is since those type of caches do not include the final stage coords on the cache page it is harder to determine which map page the actual cache might be located on. In some cases the final stage is very far from the coords that are on the cache page. I don't mind changing the wording to include those type caches, but would like to hear others thoughts on these type of caches being included. |

I added a .kmz file to the web page that will show the grid in Google Earth. Thanks to WxRnot for providing the file!

Do the A/B blocks count as one block or two? So di I need a find for 31A and a find for 31B - or do I need a find for 31?

Ban puzzle spew!!! Just kidding.  Well, puzzle/mystery caches have to have posted coords within 2 miles of the actual cache coords, so unless it's right on the edge of a map page you should be pretty safe. Multis are a bit harder, but I'd hate to discriminate against the better caches. The cache reviewers can see the final coords of all such caches if that's any help in validating a find. In my opinion, non-cache listings like events, virts, and webcams shouldn't count, but that's just my opinion. I suspect anyone who's logged one of those probably logged a nearby physical cache too. ~erik~ |

The guideline in the description says: On pages consisting of multiple blocks a cache must be found for each block, not just one for the page. A total of 63 cache finds will be required to complete the Georgia Challenge. |

I agree with you Erik. Since T1 brought it up I've been thinking more about it and have decided to update the listing to allow all caches with physical logs. That will include multi, mystery, and letterbox. I would like to specify that both the listed coords and final stage be within the same map page, but we won't make it difficult, and we'll just go on the ol' honor system.

Well in the past week we have knock off 7 more map pages off so now we are at 29 pages down!
So watch out for us on those road trips!!! |

If all goes well, this weekend Page 53 will have its first cache in place...
I am not hiding the cache (Owl and Hannah are), but I will assume maintenance of the cache. Bob |

As of last night, all the map pages have a logable cache. Ya'll go get 'em!
