The Challenge
Find and log a cache no one has found for more than a calendar
year, making repairs if necessary. It can be any cache you'd
like, in any state, and any difficulty/terrain combination--but you
cannot find a cache you've already found. The time for which
a cache has been disabled does not count toward the time needed for
this challenge (we're only considering active time).
If possible, please include a picture of that cache's log with your
log here; make sure it shows the last log's date and your date
below it.
Caches found on or after June 1, 2009 are considered for this
challenge. This is the month I first considered this
challenge.
How do you target lonely caches? Download a pocket query for
an area and use GSAK to sort the caches by the date a cache was
last found. If you are not a premium member or do not use
GSAK, you may have to consider caches one-by-one. Typically,
lonely caches are older caches either located in the countryside or
are more challenging puzzles or multis.
The Cache
The posted coordinates are the actual coordinates; you do not need
to check the required cache through me as long as it satisfies the
requirements. The posted rating pertains to the hide and not
the challenge as the cache used could range from a 1/1 to a
5/5.
The final cache, a small Lock-N-Lock, is hidden in a lonely park
close to downtown Greensboro. As far as I remember, this park
has never been graced with a cache (while GCHR2H and GC1A41H were
close, they weren't on this side of the road). I hope the
hide itself is simple enough. There may be a minimal amount
of poison ivy downhill during summer months, but it can be avoided
easily. For reference, the opposite side of the park is
covered in poison ivy.
