Geocache Description:

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

The first “Jasmer Challenge” cache (GC1GBC1) was placed in Northern California in December 2008 by jasmerb (hence the name of the challenge).


Welcome to the Texas version of the “Jasmer Challenge”. To qualify for this challenge, you must have logged at least one cache that was placed during every month back to the beginning of Geocaching (May 2000).

Note: The oldest active cache in Texas was placed in September 2000 (GC62). So, you will obviously need to travel outside of Texas in order to qualify for this Challenge Cache. You may use caches from any US state or country to meet the requirements.

As part of your online log for this cache, you will need to provide the GC code of a cache that was placed in each month for all of 2000, 2001, and 2002. Of course, you have to have a find for caches placed in all other months (up to and including the current month) as well, but those tend to be easier to come by and don't require as much verification.

If you are a user of Geocaching Swiss Army Knife (GSAK), a table called “Finds by Placed Month” can be generated as part of the latest version of the FindStatsGen macro to help you easily see which months you are missing, and when you have completed the challenge.

Another GSAK macro called MonthlyCoverage can be used to display your Finds by Placed Month table all by itself. You are encouraged to post a screen grab of the output in the Photo Gallery when you log this Challenge Cache.

Here is an example of our progress towards completing this challenge (as of August 2010):




As you can see, we only need cache finds from 4 more months in order to completely fill in our table.

The actual D/T of this hide is about a 1/1.5, but the listed D/T rating reflects the D/T required to qualify for the challenge.
