This Challenge Cache is dedicated to all the 5/5 Adrenalin Junkies and Caching Nutters that won't be beaten, and to all those Cache Beta Testers that go out on the hunt for an FTF, sometimes only minutes after the cache has been published.........but this adrenalin fuelled hunt for Kudos and Glory is often fraught with danger! Many times the Cache Beta Tester will return empty handed from a very unlikely cache location, and later read a note on the cache page saying something like "whoops, slight error in co-ords now corrected". Sometimes the Cache Beta Tester can be lucky especially if out caching in daylight, as although the co-ords may be incorrect the experienced Cache Beta Tester can use their well trained cachers eye and intuition to sometimes spot the true hide location, which could be 30m away or maybe even further. For conquering these hurdles the FTF is often sweeter and I guess its what keeps us Cache Beta Testers going out for more pokes in the eye during the middle of the night!
Logging Criteria
To log this cache you must first be able to demonstrate that you have achieved the following criteria:
You have found 5 or more 5/5 caches.
Originally this Challenge Cache was also going to have a % FTF qualifying element as an alternative to 5/5 caches, but unfortunately the Groundspeak rules don't allow for Challenges to include FTF's. :-(
Rules:
1. You must not own any of the qualifying caches (unless you adopted it after finding it)
2. You must have found the qualifying caches prior to finding this one.
3. Qualifying caches can be active or archived.
4. Qualifying caches must be listed on geocaching.com (caches on other listing sites do not count)
5. You must either quote the GC numbers of the qualifying caches in your log or include a screen shot of your stats page for 5/5's or provide another audit-able link, profiles are good for this type of thing.
Simple really!
So, get out there and challenge yourself to find those 5/5 caches!! To demonstrate that the cache is attainable and I wouldn't ask you to do anything that I couldn't do myself....see my stats below, where I have met the qualifying criteria:
Grid 8 x 5/5's
8 x 5/5 Caches
