This is a challenge cache that’s located at the coordinates listed on this cache page. It has specific requirements that must be satisfied before you can log a “Found it!” on the cache. Review these requirements here, and have fun as you meet them! El Fin del Mundo –the phrase conjures up several connotations. The connotation in this instance is one apropos geocaching, “The Ends of the World”. For The Americas Challenge, the “Ends” are the opposing ends of the two American Continents. The challenge is to find and log two geocaches: one that is north of latitude N 62 00.000; the other south of latitude S 53 00.000. BOTH caches must come from the Americas, one from North America, the other from South America–caches north and south of these latitudes that are situated on other continents or ocean islands that are not geographically associated with North and South America do not count. The northern latitude lies north of Anchorage, Alaska and runs approximately through Talkeetna. Any cache in Alaska or Canada north of this latitude counts. The southern latitude represents the approximate northern boundary of Tierra del Fuego, and the eligible land mass for caches runs from that latitude south to the southern-most tip of South America. Caches of all types count, but you must have physically been to the cache location–that is, finds based on “arm chair” cache finds will be deleted. There are no date restrictions, so caches you have found prior to or those you find after the publication of this challenge count. Sign the physical cache log at any time, but delay logging your “Found it!” until you have met the requirements. In your Found it! log, be certain to document the two caches you use, providing the GC number, cache name, the cache’s latitude, and date of your find. The two caches I am using to document my having met this challenge are shown here.  The Americas Challenge The listed D/T star ratings represent those for meeting the challenge. The actual cache placement has a 2.0/1.5 rating. Enjoy the challenge and enjoy writing your “Found it!” log. There are probably some good stories associated with your finds of caches at the far ends of the American continents! Please share any special ones in your find log.
