Now a Premium Only cache due to being muggled.
They often say life is about the journey, not the destination; but with geocaching, we say it’s both! With over 3 million geocaches around the world. The adventure begins with navigating to the geocache location, then there’s the big “ah-ha!” moment when you find the geocache! The journey doesn’t end there though, so we’re listing out five steps we recommend once you’ve made a find. Are you completing all five?
- Sign the logbook in the geocache. You should always carry a pen/pencil. Every Physical geocache has got a log and it’s just as important to sign the physical log as it is to post your log in the Geocaching® app. Signing the geocache log validates your visit! If you don't sign, then post a note till you return.
- Scenic view? Fun trail? Group shot? Take a photo to include with your log! Photos can be uploaded to your log right from the app. However NEVER add a spoiler. The next person should have the same experience.
- Log your find in the Geocaching® app! If you’re not logging your find in the field, save it as a draft and include a few notes about your journey to the geocache that you can use to jog your memory later. Remember to NOT include spoiler comments in your log!
- Give it a Favorite point! Premium members can award Favorite points to w-o-w geocaches to let other cachers know it’s something special.
- Place the geocache back where you found it so the next cacher can experience the same finders-joy! Remember to respect your surroundings, whether that’s flora, fauna, or others around enjoying the outdoors.
On the 29th February 2012, I completed a cache and decided to try to achieve 366 continuous days which included the Leap year day. As I Cached I discovered the Sydney Streak Challenges Series and found it ended at 100 days. This Cache extends the reward and provides for those who have reached 6 months (183 days).
It is with respect to the concept set up by morley196 that I am adding some caches into the Sutherland shire cycleways series especially to help others trying to achieve a similar goal or allow those who have achieved it in the past to record their achievement.
This cache recognises all those who have cached every day for 6 months (183 days). I believe there may be some old Cachers who are no longer Premium Members who reached this achievement so I have left this open to all so that they can continue their involvement. Congratulations to you if have achieved it – every caching day after about 100 is a challenge in themselves !!!
For those of you who may be upset that a few caches exist that you can’t achieve, please remember that geocaching is only a game and it is played for fun or to learn from the information provided by the cache owners. it also provides you with an incentive to move outside your comfort zone and consider trying something new. caching is a game that we play for ourselves or with others. how one person plays the game, may not be the way another person plays the game and this cache is here for people who play the game this way, not for any other reason. streaking is one the harder ways to play as you must go out whatever the cost!
Congratulations to all that have achieved this milestone in their caching career.
To log this cache you need to
• Have a streak of 183 days or more.
• Log your find stating your caching streak.
The difficulty is in the completion of the streak, nothing else. However being a micro, the type of hide I have chosen and the cache location may cause a few who do get there to have to think about it. I will be interested to see how those who do complete this challenge rate their experience in reaching this milestone and the hide.
