Geocache Description:

**************************************

This is a challenge cache: Don’t try to find it before completing the challenge described below! Anyone logging this as a find before completing the challenge will have their logs deleted.

**************************************

I first thought of creating one of these challenges that have been springing up elsewhere when I discovered that I had a five-icon day in December, but now that I’ve actually completed seven icons in one day, I knew that I wanted to go ahead! Still, I’ve decided to stick with the more traditional six-icon day. I had my seven-icon day on April 9, 2011, and it included traditional, multi, unknown, earth, virtual, letterbox, and Wherigo caches.
.
The cache is hidden at the coordinates posted above, but before you can claim it as a find, you must complete the challenge. All logs that don’t meet the challenge criteria will be deleted. Because you must find 6 caches of different types before claiming this, and it will take a good part of a day, I am rating it a 4/1.5.

For this cache, you must find six different kinds of caches all on the same day.

This can include traditional, multi, unknown, virtual, earthcache, letterbox hybrid, webcam, Wherigo, and event caches.

When you log this cache, you may list the six caches in one of two ways: 1) create a public, shared bookmark list with the caches plus this one, or 2) list the GC codes, type of cache, and the day you logged them. You do not need to find this cache on the same day as the other six to log it (it has to be after, of course!)

There are two additional rules:

1. [This one is deleted--there's no more date requirement]

2. This cache can not count as an unknown cache in your list—you must find one each of six different types before going for this one.

There is a nice FTF pack waiting for the first person to sign the log. In addition, there’s an extra treat for the first person to log their 6 challenge caches and this cache on the same day. If the first person to sign the log found their challenge caches earlier that same day, they may take the extra treat as well as the FTF prize, but if the first person to find it signs the log on the next day or later, they should leave the extra prize for the first person to do the whole challenge on the same day.

The cache is a small lock 'n lock in Chase Park. No night caching is allowed. It isn't far off a paved path, but there will undoubtedly be bugs and thorns come summer. (ETA: Sorry about the poison ivy, there wasn't much present when I placed the cache!) The cache is only big enough for small trade items only, though I will keep it stocked with my pathtags. Have fun and happy caching!
