1. Finds:
   1. Find caches that are on the approved lists of geo-arts and geo-trails (under "Stuff You Need to Play"). If you find caches that are not on the lists, but you think should be, please submit an inquiry
       to the challenge managers with a link to a bookmark list of the caches to ensure that they qualify.
      
   2. For this challenge, geo-art is defined as "10 or more caches in a readily apparent image, letter, or word," and a geo-trail is defined as "10 or more caches sharing a common name element specific to that geo-trail and hidden along less than 2 miles of road or trail per 10 caches." Caches with the only common name element being something widely used (HNY) or not along a definite trail (caches in a park) do not qualify.
