Geocache Description:

This is a Well-Rounded Busy Day Challenge.

You must find six, or more, different cache types

in one day before hunting for this cache!

Then, you need to tell us about your Busy Day by creating a public bookmark list containing your qualifying caches found. Please also note the date of your Busy Day in the bookmark description. Your log should describe your busy day, please don't write a single-word log (e.g. TFTC or TNLNSL)...we really want to hear about your busy day!

Here's my Busy Day bookmark list as an example.

In lieu of the bookmark list, you can simply list the caches you found (GC#, Name, Type) in your log. Here's my Busy Day list as I would include it in my log.
GCHF5X - One for the Team - Webcam
GC8280 - Listen by the Pond - Virtual
GCT01K - Thanks Cableshot! - Traditional
GC151K8 - A-Z ALR - Unknown (Mystery)
GCPXB8 - Going Postal! - Multi-cache
GC18TQC - Lake Mirror - Wherigo
GCXKH9 - Discover Nature - Letterbox Hybrid
GC1HPYK - Southern Landing Wetlands EarthCache - Earthcache

The Rules and Regulations:
- A day is defined as one calendar day, such as May 6, 2009. While a day consists of a 24 hour period, 6:00pm May 5, 2009 until 5:59pm May 6, 2009 does NOT qualify as a day for this challenge.
- There is NO date restriction for this Challenge! If you found six or more cache types in one day, whether it was last week or 5 years ago, then you meet the qualifications to find and log the final (just don't forget about the bookmark requirement, or to include your list of caches in your log).
- There is NO geographic restriction for this Challenge. Finds in ANY state will be accepted. Your Busy Day may even span multiple states!
- The following cache types are allowed for this Challenge: Traditional, Multi-cache, Unknown (Mystery), Letterbox Hybrid, Earthcache, Virtual, Webcam, Wherigo, Event, Lost and Found '10 Year' Event, Mega Event, CITO, Locationless, Project APE, and GPS Adventures Exhibit. Any hide of these types which was/are active on your Busy Day are eligible.
- This Challenge is open to everyone regardless of your home state.
- No hides will count, only finds.
- This Challenge cache does not count for the Unknown (Mystery) cache type for the Challenge.
- You do not have to find this cache on the same day as your Busy Day. You certainly may if you are confident in your list of finds. Remember that you must complete the Challenge before finding this cache, and it does not count for the Unknown (Mystery) cache type.
- The officially recognized FTF of this Challenge cache is the cacher who completes the challenge, has their bookmark list published (or includes their list of finds in their on-line log), finds this cache and signs the log first.

Most important, have fun! And remember to share your busy day story in your log!

If you haven't yet qualified, feel free to visit the cache, pick up or drop off trackables, and post a note for your visit. But in order to log a find you must visit the cache and sign the log AFTER you have fulfilled the challenge requirements.

This hide was prompted by a particularly busy day that SONOTECH, Survivor Florida and I had on April 23, 2009. I had previously had days with 4 or 5 different cache types and wanted to break that record. I did a little research and I figured that we could do 7 cache types, then Survivor Florida pointed out an 8th (the Webcam) that we could pick up on our way to the 1st cache of the day. So, we found 8 different cache types (Webcam, Virtual, Traditional, Unknown (Mystery), Multi-cache, Wherigo, Letterbox Hybrid and Earthcache) and I planned to make note of it in my logs. After logging my finds for the day, I was contacted by a reviewer (we had found one of their caches) congratulating us on our Busy Day...and they suggested we should go find a Busy Day Challenge cache. Unfortunately, the nearest one was in Georgia! So, I decided to take responsibility for hiding one here in Florida.

NOTE: The cache is at the published coordinates!
