Geocache Description:

The cache IS at the posted coordinates. THIS IS A CHALLENGE CACHE!

This challenge sounds simple, but it really isn't. If you already qualify, think back on what you did to fill all 447 of the squares needed for this (366 days and 81 D/T combinations) and you will see what I mean!
You can sign the logsheet at any time, but in order to log this one as a find, you will need to qualify. To do that, you have to fill in every day on your calendar AND every square on your Fizzy Challenge. For those who don't know what the Fizzy Challenge is, you complete it by finding at least one cache of each difficulty and terrain rating combination as shown:


The cache is rated as 5/5 because:
  1. You will have to find at least 9 caches that are rated as 5 difficulty.
  2. You will have to find at least 9 caches that are rated as 5 terrain.
  3. If you don't already have a find on 29 February, you may have to wait up to 4 years to do so.
  4. You may have to go on a daily find streak to fill in your calendar. As those of us who have done it know, there are times when it is not all that easy to do.
  5. If you have gaps in your calendar, and decide not to go on a daily streak to fill them, you will have to figure out which dates you need to fill in and remind yourself of each one as it comes up. It is very easy to get too busy or forget sometimes.
Logging Requirements:
To substantiate your find, please post screenshots of your calendar AND Fizzy challenge grid from your profile page. With a small amount of work in MS Paint, you can combine them as I did on the background image and on the cache page. If you are not able to do that, you can take photos of them on your screen and post those, or you can include in your log that you can't and I will look on your profile. Any log that fails to meet the criteria WILL be deleted without notice!

Please be sure to replace the cache exactly where it belongs to prevent it from being muggled. Thanks and good luck!!
