Geocache Description:

New Mexico's version of the popular "Well Rounded Cacher" concept


Cache is at the posted coords,
but you must read the cache page for
requirements to log this cache!


To be able to claim a find on this cache, you will need to first
find at least one cache of every difficulty/terrain combination (81
unique combinations). As part of those finds, you'll need to have
at least one of each of the cache types below (the different
cache types DO count against the 81, so if you find a 2.5/2.5
multi-cache, it fulfills both requirements.):


- Event Cache - CITO Event
- Traditional Cache - Letterbox Hybrid
- Multi Cache - Unknown Cache
- EarthCache - Virtual Cache

You must also have found at least one of either of the following
two types of caches:


- Webcam Cache - Wherigo Cache


How do you track your caches? Here are three options:


  • Create a bookmark list and keep track
  • Upload your My Finds PQ to It's Not About The Numbers
  • Use FizzyMagic's Find Stats Program (requires download)



    Basic rules (to keep things easy):


    • All cache finds must be in New Mexico, cache finds outside of New Mexico do not count. (Note: Because New Mexico currently does not have all of the possible combinations available you are allowed 10 "out of state" finds in your matrix)
    • All PREVIOUS cache finds DO count - you do NOT start from "0" at this point
    • **Updated 14 Feb 2013 All finds (except the Event, Wherigo, and CITO Events) must be on caches that have been published for at least ONE YEAR (to avoid "dummy caches" being listed just to meet the requirements, and keeps the challenge reasonable as the years go by)
    • No rating changes of existing caches will be accepted as counting towards your goal
    • Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply
    • These must be caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally (physically) found and logged
    • No logging finds on caches you own will be allowed
    • If you have others with you when you find the final cache, only those who have fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache will be allowed to log it as a find.
    • Finds without the proper back-up will be deleted
    • This cache does not count as the 5/5 in the matrix. You must find a 5/5 before this one

    Please keep to these simple rules to keep things fun for everybody.


    To get credit for this find (and keep your find from being deleted) you must post one of the following with your found log:

    1. A link to a bookmark list showing all the caches that meet the
      requirements
    2. A link to your page on ItsNotAboutTheNumbers showing your
      finds

    This should be fun and I'm counting on the
    honor system for sticking to the rules (especially the finds on
    caches published BEFORE this one). I will spot check the finds, but
    don't want to have to be the cache police on checking every find.
    Please "play" fair and have a good time!
