I "Heart" Geocaching in Las Cruces: Scavenger Hunt

This is the Lab-cache for my I <3 Geocaching in Las Cruces event, GC4Y8BP. The Lab-cache URL will redirect here since it doesn't provide a large enough format. I really want to showcase some of what Geocaching in Las Cruces is all about and make something that everyone could enjoy and participate in. But only one person can claim an actual find for the Lab-Cache. What to do.... How about a Scavenger Hunt!

Scavenger Hunt Rules

• Have fun!
• Be safe!
• Earn points for completing tasks. Some of these are very much like geocache types, others are challenges of varying degrees. All are meant to be fun in some way, and be geocaching related in some way.
• Please leave all clues/items where found so that other competitors can participate.
• Must be at the Event Cache (Milagro's Coffee) by 3:00 in order to qualify for prizes.
• The Geocacher with the most points gets to chose the first prize (one of the prizes is the Lab-cache completion code). 

Scavenger Hunt Tasks

1. [4 points] Where is this picture? Figure out where this picture is in Las Cruces, then visit the location. Search for a discretely placed note tied to a rock with yellow yarn, which will have a Verification Code written on it.

3. [4 points] The GCCODE for the I <3 Geocaching in Las Cruces Event is GC4Y8BP. Find these letters on Billboards and take a picture of each. Verification of your pictures will be at the event.
4. [2 points] Are you a cacher that enjoys finding evil nanos? Then go to N 32 18.960 W 106 46.794 and search out the magnetic nano hidden there. Verification code is inside.
5. [3 points] Whole Enchilada challenge: Take a picture of yourself eating enchiladas for lunch. Red or green, it doesn't matter, but I'm sure you can find some good enchiladas in town.
6. [7 points] Find and pick up 3 trackables (travel-bugs or geocoins) from geocaches in Las Cruces and bring to the event. Trackables must be found during the Scavenger Hunt, not brought from home or already in your inventory. Verification will be at the event.
7. [3 points] Take a picture of a travel bug next to a real live bug!
8. [4 points] Cachemobile Challenge: Everyone knows that Jeeps make great cachemobiles. For this challenge take a picture of 4 Jeeps, one of each color of the geocaching Logo, Yellow, Green, Blue and Red.
9. [7 points] Climb a rock! Scramble up to the rocks at N 32 17.803 W 106 36.586. Once there find an out-of-place smooth rock. A verification code can be found on the bottom of this rock. Terrain level is around a 4 for this task.
10. [5 points] Plant identification challenge. This is a multi starting at N 32 19.323 W 106 43.265, At those coordinates you will find a yellow piece of yarn tied to a plant, with coordinates to the next stage. Each stage you are looking for a piece of yellow yarn tied to a different sort of plant. Identify the kind of plant (common name) at each location as verification that you completed the task. This will give you a nice walk through the desert visiting some of the Chihuahuan Flora that typifies Las Cruces.
