Geocache Description:

I am reactivating my challenge caches, but if the incorrect logging continues I will be forced to archive them.

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY

  • If you log a find without following the logging requirements on the cache page your log will be permanently deleted.
  • If you log a find without meeting the qualifications for the challenge your log will be deleted, but you may relog it whenever you do qualify.
  • NOTE: Referencing Project GC as proof that you qualify DOES NOT meet the logging requirements for any of these caches. Project GC is not always right, and they have a disclaimer on their page stating that.


This is part of a series of challenge caches which are all about non-traditional cache types.  Some will be easy, and designed to introduce new cachers to these other cache types.  Others will be difficult for even the most experienced cachers.  Most will fall somewhere between these extremes.  Anybody may log any of the challenges, and may use new or old finds to qualify.  The only requirement is that you meet the challenge shown below.  The actual hides will be easy, the difficulty rating reflects the difficulty of the challenge.  The terrain rating is for the actual hide. 


This is cache number 22 in my 2013 challenge series.  It will probably be one of the tougher ones in the series.
  Please read the requirements carefully to be sure you qualify.



You may sign the log at any time, but you can only log the cache after you meet the requirements below.

  To prove that you meet the requirements include a list in your log showing your 15 qualifying caches.  Your list must include the date of the finds, GC numbers, cache names, cache types and the difficulty rating for each one.


Read the requirements carefully.  Each one is important. 



.REQUIREMENTS:


  1. Find and log at least 15 non-traditional caches in 1 calendar day.
  2. If you have found more than 15, select the 15 with the highest difficulty ratings.
  3. All 15 of the caches you use for this challenge must have a difficulty rating of 3 or higher.
  4. Challenge caches, such as this one, may not be used as part of your list.
  5. You may use any of the following cache types in any combination to qualify:  Unknown (puzzle), Multicache, Letterbox, Earthcache, Virtual, Wherigo and Webcam.
  6. DOUBLE SMILEY BONUS [NO LONGER ALLOWED BY GROUNDSPEAK]:  If you manage to qualify with 15 of the same cache type you may log this cache twice.

That's all there is to it, have fun!
