Geocache Description:

This cache IS at the posted coordinates. The idea was shamelessly lifted from another cache page. See below for details.

Some people say they hate micros. They’re horrible. They ruin the game. They’re not interesting. Well of course they’re horrible. That’s why MGB created The Anti-Micro Challenge Cache. I wanted to do this sooner, but I had a lot of lamp post skirts to lift, and never got around to finishing up this project. But then, I hit a jackpot. 35 Altoids tins. I knew it was time. So, I bring you the Anti-Anti-Micro Challenge. I think this one will be easier than the original cache to which it pays tribute. I mean, all you have to do is find some lame micro caches. To qualify as a lame micro cache, it has to be rated 1.5/1.5 or lower, and it has to be listed as a micro container. VERY IMPORTANT PART!! This is not intended to put down the individual caches as lame!! Micros have brought me to places I would not have found otherwise, and there was no other way to hide a cache nearby. Now for the rules: Because of the above "Additional Logging Requirement" this is marked as a mystery cache. Please help me by putting together a bookmark list of your caches that count towards this challenge. If you have any doubts about the order in which GC.com lists found caches and you found a non-micro earlier in the day, time stamp your logs (Write the date/time in the log itself). Please don’t make me be a bigger jerk and delete finds that don’t meet the challenge. In all actuality, I probably won’t delete your log. But I do imagine that your sense of honor as a cacher would prevent you from entering a false log. But then, you did find 20 micros… Your 20 micros have to be consecutive finds, but you do not have to find this cache as #21. You can start counting as soon as this cache is published. Previous streaks do not count. Events, virtuals, earth caches, and web cams do not count. The cache has to be listed as having a micro container. A multi-cache still counts as 1 micro, as long as the container is listed as a micro on the GC site. If one of the stages is something else, but the cache listing type is a micro, it counts. The micro can be in the woods, or at the top of a mountain, but it has to be a 1.5/1.5 or lower, which means it probably won’t be either of those things. There are no exceptions to the rules as listed above. Please contact me if you have any questions. I hope I have covered everything, but cachers are a smart bunch, and might see something missing. And don't be too surprised about the final. I mean, this is the Anti-Anti-Micro Challenge. FTF will get a very special prize!
