They do not have to stand alone. They can be incorporated in another word. So barring is OK as would be ringer.
Would the word "Barton" count as a find for the requirement?

Re: 3: Archery - would it be sufficient for the non-animal powered flight requirement to be a cache with airstrip/airport/airfield in their name? I seem to be out of luck (SOL) with anything with kites/planes/balloons/rockets/etc in the cache name.... :-\

Thanks,

You mean you HAVEN'T run a full unfound query, imported it into GSAK, exported it to excel and started up the mother of all spreadsheets?

Or was I the only one doing that on Sunday afternoon?

For the 4x4 relay, do the other 3 cachers need to log the find, or would a photo of them at GZ suffice?

They need to log the find. You really can't go find a cache that others have previously found.
