 Alternate Logging Requirements No longer allowed.

So Any cache listed as a ? with Alternate Logging Requirements needs be
altered or archived because "You must find and prove you have found 40
caches on a Friday" is now changed to "come find my cache, sign the log and
claim a find"

 Please make sure you note the changes to the guidelines dates April 2009:


   1. *A section called Logging of All Physical
Caches<http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#loggingofallcaches>has
been added to the guidelines.
   *

QUOTE
Geocaches can be logged online as Found once the physical log has been
signed.

If it is appropriate for your cache location or theme, you may ask the cache
seeker to accomplish an optional and simple task, either close to the cache
site (normally within 0.1 miles or 161 meters) or when writing their online
log. For example, wear the goofy hat inside the cache container and upload a
photograph. Cache finders can choose whether or not to attempt or accomplish
optional tasks. Cache owners may not delete the cache seeker's log based
solely on optional tasks.

This guideline change applies immediately to all logs written from April 4,
2009 and going forward. Older caches with "additional logging requirements"
(ALRs) are not grandfathered under the older guideline. If you own an
existing cache with mandatory additional logging requirements, we request
that you:

   - Cease deleting logs based on additional logging requirements.
   - Review your own cache listing to see if the ALR can be made into an
   optional and simple task, or whether it must be removed altogether.
   - Adjust your geocache listing by editing the text then contact a
   reviewer to change the cache type, if appropriate.
