Your goal is to find 3 different kinds of caches hidden by 10 different cachers:
- You will need to find a total of 30 caches to complete this challenge, plus finding 1 additional cache for the final. NOTE that the caches do not need to be from NH geocachers or found in NH, though it would be nice if you could, in keeping with the NH theme. But you do need to find all 30 as described below before you can get this one.
- All finds must be on or after April 1, 2010.
- You will need to find caches hidden by your choice of 10 different cachers.
- You will need to find 3 different types of caches hidden by each of the 10 cachers. Size, Difficulty and Terrain are unimportant.
- You may vary your type of find per cacher.

Make sure you annotate each Bookmark with who the cache was hidden by and when you found it.

THE FINE PRINT
- No old finds - The FINDS for this challenge must not be from any earlier than April 1, 2010 (yes, April Fools...because aren't we all just caching fools?).
- No adopted caches - Must be the original cache placer's hide only. Neither the original placer nor the adopter can be counted on an adopted cache.
- No temporary cache finds allowed. Only actual event or CITO attendance is acceptable to claim the event category.
- No combining of accounts - All must be logged by one account.
- No finding your own caches.
- The "real" cache placer's name is the only one that counts, not aliases. (Just hit the A cache by link on the cache page to reveal the correct owner)
- Note that the difficulty rating of 4.5 is based upon having to find 30 other caches first. The difficulty of actually finding this cache is more like a 2.5.

Inspiration for this cache goes to the original "Know Your Local Cacher Challenge" put out by Douglas Clan in Tacoma, WA, as well as seven other caches (to date) just like this one in Akron, OH, Detroit, MI, Gun Barrel City, TX, Västra Götaland, Sweden, Bend, OR, and Las Cruces, NM.
