Thanks for the advertising. To clear up some recent questions.
1. It doesn't matter when you did the centum, just that you did it
2. You must sign the log in the physical cache at the posted coordinates
3. If you want to form a group of 100 people and each do one cache, go for it. Good luck finding 99 other cachers willing to do that. If you can sleep at night having done so, then by all means have a blast.

This is a game! Play how you want, log how you want, hunt how you want. I cache the way I cache, it happens to be the way that Shuman Road Searchers, Dubord207, mmface, lena484, mapachi, et al cache, but if you want to log a find that you didn't find, log it, you're only cheating yourself.

Here are the logs about this cache, a DNF by the way.


One of very few DNFs for the Team 100 today...and I have pictures of Dan's run in with the law.

Stay tuned for photographic evidence of Dan's "arrest". Our quest for the centum was arrested as well, for the moment at least.

Bad enough that we are posting a DNF...but Dan got "arrested' by a motorcycle officer who wondered what we were doing and why Dan was parked the way he was. Great photo op! 6 of us could not find this cache and we lost valuable time trying in our run to 100 in a day.

No smiley here. In fact, we, maybe I'm somewhat responsible for some minor time consumming issues in the midst of our frenzied effort to do a Centum.
So the arrow on my Oregon starts swinging left, I spot a small turnoff, a guardrail and ....well "left turn Clyde!" So I pull across all 4 lanes, safely, IMHO and very few screams from the 3 ladies in the car, and we exit to find what should have been an easy cache. So as I'm rummaging around in knee high poison ivy and every other word is "frig" my sister starts with "Dan, oh Dan, Dan," and I said "Hey, I'm trying to find the frigging cache!" And I turn around and this Eric Estrada wanna be motorcycle cop says "What cash, Sir?"
So this young buck of a cop with the spit shined shoes, Harley, toothy grin wants to know what we're up to and why my car seems to be parked in "an unusual angle."
I start with the Reader's Digest explaination of caching and I sense he doesn't get it, but he's got handcuffs and a big gun in his holster so I try to be polite.
My wife and my sister are encouraging me not to antogonize the nice officer and the Stacey's are keeping their distance across the 4 lane street, parked I guess what one would call "legally." Eventually he removed the handcuffs and gave us a police escort out of Nashua with a warning to "keep you cash in you pocket and go back to Maine as soon as possible!"

Five cachers jumping out of the car and dodging traffic like frogger and you do not want us to look suspicious?!
