This is a CHALLENGE CACHE!!
You must read the cache page
AND COMPLETE THE REQUIREMENTS
before logging a "found it" for this cache!!
|
"OTHER" cache types are all non-Traditional caches and include: Multi, Unknown, Virtual, Wherigo, Letterbox Hybrid, Earthcache, Webcam, Event, etc.
That being stated, I recently completed the requirements for the anOTHER Challenge cache, placed by mmc881, and was so inspired that I decided to place one of my own...with one slight variation...Twice The Fun!!!
As I was nearing the end of the required "30 straight days" for the anOTHER Challenge cache, I began looking back at all the caches I'd found to make sure I'd completed the requirements. This reflection got me to thinking, "I wonder if I could continue this challenge for another 30 days?"; in essence, challenging myself to push the envelope even further.
So I continued my quest and am proud to report that from December 31, 2011 through February 28, 2012, I completed 60 consecutive days of caching that included AT LEAST one "OTHER" type of cache each day.
So THE CHALLENGE is presented to you:
Find and log AT LEAST one "OTHER" type of cache for 60 consecutive days. This 60-day period could have taken place at any time since you began caching; but keep in mind, it MUST be 60 consecutive days.
As with the original anOTHER Challenge cache, you may find as many Traditional caches as you like during this 60 day period; but to satisfy the requirements for this challenge cache, you MUST find and log AT LEAST one "OTHER" type of cache on each day of your 60 consecutive days.
Again, "OTHER" cache types are all non-Traditional caches and include: Multi, Unknown, Virtual, Wherigo, Letterbox Hybrid, Earthcache, Webcam, Event, etc.
SPECIAL NOTES:
** This is a CHALLENGE CACHE, if you're not up to the challenge, please feel free to add this cache to your list of ignored caches at GC.com, I won't be offended.
** Additionally, if you post a "found it" log and do not qualify, your log will be deleted WITHOUT WARNING; you've been duly notified.
PROOF OF QUALIFICATION:
When logging your find on this cache, please reference the beginning and ending dates of your 60 consecutive days so I can verify your qualification by checking your profile page at GC.com.
THE CACHE HIDE:
The cache hide itself is NOT a P&G and is more like a D2/T3; the posted D/T rating is mostly due to fulfilling the requirements of this challenge cache. This cache is placed within the Fred McLinden Nature Trails and is NOT at the posted coordinates. The posted coordinates will take you to the only LEGAL PARKING area for this trail system. The actual cache container is located at N 42 19.420 W 85 29.245 and will be a nice, enjoyable walk for most cachers, with some bushwhacking at the end. PLEASE be aware that the final is very close to a trail and there is the potential for high muggle activity...BE STEALTHY when searching.
The Fred McLinden Nature Trails are open from 8am until dusk, so please plan your visit accordingly. There are a number of other caches in this preserve as well, so if you have the time, make sure you load those into your GPSr so you can make the most of your trip out here.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
mmc881 - Thanks for developing the original anOTHER Challenge cache, from which this cache was modeled. Working on the requirements to complete your challenge cache "forced" me to take a look at caches that I had previously either ignored, or had set aside due to their challenging nature.
TURTLE CREW - Thanks for showing me the original anOTHER Challenge cache. Also, thanks for pointing me toward some of the "OTHER" cache types in the Grand Rapids area to help me complete the anOTHER Challenge cache; having cleared out most of the "OTHER" cache types in my home area, I'm not sure I would've been able to finish the challenge without your help.
