General Rules
You will need to find 16 of the following requirements to complete the game. That means you can skip 2 requirements. Any cache can qualify whether it's a regular cache or a virtual cache. For regular caches be sure to sign the logbook. For virtuals be sure to follow the instructions for verificaton and post a note. The ghost of the Desert Hermit will be roaming around watching the players. He's been looking for these lost coins for a long time now and he wouldn't take too kindly to anybody trying to cheat. This time around there are a few caches where you can revisit a cache that you have found before. You will need to actually revisit the cache and leave a new signature in the logbook. These caches are marked with an asterisk *.
Here are the cache requirements you will need to find and log:
