The cache IS at the posted coordinates, however to log this cache as "found" you must meet specific requirements.  Check below to understand the challenge.

Congrats tinytuttle on FTF!

This is part of a series of challenges I am releasing for new cachers in the area to find something they can qualify for.  Sometimes its discouraging for those of us who have only been caching for a little while to see some of the difficult challenges in Fort Collins, and its nice to have something we can actually qualify for in the area!

This is the NAME challenge!  This is a challenge to find a cache of any type that starts with each letter/number/symbol of your GeoCaching handle. 

For example, my handle is MooseTag, so here are my qualifications:

M - Maple Hill Magic   GC2Z451 - 2014-09-27
O - On the right path   GC14KXP - 2014-08-14
O - Old Man Mountain GC1WQ89 - 2014-09-30
S - Sara's Duck Pond   GC164VE - 2014-08-13
E - E O T R   GCYM9Y - 2014-10-12
T - Tennessee   GC1NAQ8 - 2014-09-20
A - Arnold Wolf   GC3MNR2 - 2014-08-09
G - Golden Meadows Monkey   GC550GZ - 2014-08-10

You may post any cache you have found, either from GSAK (there are plenty of macros to help you with this) or just by typing in the GC code after your name. I am willing to be lenient in the sport of making this fun for cachers of all types.  So, if you have crazy symbols and/or numbers in your handle, you may post either a geocache with the number/symbol OR you may post something with the first LETTER of the number/symbol.  For example, if your name is -XO-Love2929 Then for the hyphen, you may either find a cache with a hyphen (like all of -Two C's- caches, OR you may post a cache with the letter 'H' for 'hyphen'.  Then when it comes to the numbers, same concept, you may post either a cache that begins with '2' or a cache that begins with the letter 'T' for 'two'.  If you are still confused you may email me or pay attention to the way others will post their finds.

Please post your name in the format I used above within a reasonable amount of time from your find, i.e. a few days at most but I understand that life happens and you might not be able to log it right away.  For purposes of FTF and Found logs, if I do not see your name spelled out in geocaches you have found within a reasonable amount of time your log may be deleted.

Container is small and hidden fairly easily, ratings are based upon the challenge itself as the hide is not very difficult.  Some unusual names will require more travel time, hence the '2' rating for terrain.  The container has room for small trackables and small SWAG, and there is a TB for the FTF to move along if they wish.

This challenge is meant to be fun, not to stress you out or make you think that you'll never achieve it.  I only ask that you enjoy the challenge and respect the qualifications, they aren't that unreasonable!

More easy challenges to come if people enjoy these!  Go get your name in geocaches!

Here on an amazing 10 day geocaching road trip with sweet-marie, kteeeee and laphamclan. We flew into Kansas City and after renting a car we drove through Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri and back to Kansas. All logs were either signed CCC (Crazy Canadian Cachers) or stamped with our red CCC stamp. Answers to Virtuals and Earthcaches have been sent in on behalf of the group.
Writing a note until I can do my "homework"!

Greetings from Beautiful British Columbia! Off on a 10 day, 9 state geo-adventure with kteeeee, Laphamclan and MissPeach13. Many thanks to all of the COs for placing these caches for us to find and adding to our fun day. We used our CCC (Canadian Caching Crew) stamp or initials on all of the logs.

Today we headed to the oldest cache in Colorado and then changed our original plans to go to Mt. Evans as the road was closed due to snow and we were unable to do the caches there We went through the city of Denver instead and stopped in Fort Collins for the night.

Notre périple a débuté le 22 août dernier et nous amènera à visiter douze états Américains et deux provinces Canadiennes... Notre départ s'est fait à partir de Baie-Comeau, une ville sur la Côte Nord du Québec pour ensuite se poursuivre quelques jours à Québec où nous avons fait un peu de Géocaching.... Par la suite, nous avons fait un arrêt à St-Eustache et Ville de Laval, toujours au Québec, pour ensuite prendre l'avion et arriver à Portland, Oregon... Nous avons fait un arrêt le 28 août à Umatilla toujours en Oregon, le 29 août à Boise en Idaho, le 30 à Twin Falls et le 31 nous sommes à Salt Lake City pour deux jours... Le 2 septembre nous étions à Rock Springs, Wyoming, le 3 nous avons fait un arrêt à Laramie, Wyoming... Le 4 et le 5 septembre nous étions dans la région de Colorado Spring, CO... Aujourd’hui nous nous dirigeons vers Fort Collins, CO...

Pendant tout le voyage nous avons ciblé quelques caches qui nous aideront à atteindre nos objectifs personnels et nous découvrirons certainement de nouveaux endroits que les Géocacheurs d'ici voudront nous faire découvrir... Nous préparons ce voyage depuis plusieurs mois et savons que nous ne pourrons pas tout voir par manque de temps...

Merci pour la création de ces caches qui ajoutent des sourires à notre profil et qui nous font passer du bon temps peu importe l'humeur de Dame Nature... Notre log sera le même pour toute la journée et s'il y a une particularité nous l'ajouterons au début du texte... Des favoris seront ajoutés ici et là pour tout le travail accompli... MPLC

Casper&Aero de Baie-Comeau, Québec, Canada


Our English is not perfect, we use Google Translate to help us ...

Our journey began last August 22 and will take us to visit twelve US states and two Canadian provinces ... Our departure was from Baie-Comeau, a city on the North Shore of Quebec and then continue for a few days in Quebec City where we did some Geocaching .... Then we stopped at St-Eustache and Ville de Laval, still in Quebec, and then flew to Portland, Oregon... We made stop in Umatilla on August 28 still in Oregon, August 29 in Boise, Idaho, August 30 in Twin Falls and August 31st we are in Salt Lake City for two days... The 2nd of september we were in Rock Springs. Wyoming and the september 3 the road brought us to Laramie, Wyoming... On September 4th and 5th we were in the Colorado Spring area, CO ... Today we are heading to Fort Collins, CO

Throughout the trip we have targeted some caches that will help us achieve our personal goals and we will certainly discover new places that Geocachers here will want us to discover ... We have been planning this trip for several months and know we will not be able to not all see for lack of time ... There are many caches but we must close our eyes can not find them all ... But it is with pleasure that we will put our signature on some of them ...

Thank you for creating these caches that add smiles to our profile and make us have a good time regardless of the mood of Mother Nature ... Our log will be the same for the whole day and if there is a particularity we will add it at the beginning of the text ... Favorites will be added here and there for all the work done ... TFTC

I originally picked up this nice challenge after attending the GC6Z6JK Facing Your Fears #7 at Midnight in Fort Collins back in Feb 2017. After finally having the opportunity to analyze my statistics, I see that I meet the requirements for this challenge, so I am logging my find. My qualifying caches are listed below. Thanks to the CO for placing this nice challenge for everyone to find, TFTC.

The one will have to be a note for now; know that I qualify, having completed at least two similar challenges over the past two or three years, but I don't have the to seek the list now. The container was easy to find here, fortunately. TFTC in advance!
