The Challenge

Find at least one Unknown cache on each date of one calendar month in any one year.

Feel free to click on the Project-GC banner, below, to see if you’ve completed this challenge:

The Details

• You can pick any month: past, present, or future.

• You must find an Unknown cache on the first day of that month, on the last day of that month, and on every day in between. If you pick June, 2013, for example, then you must find an Unknown cache on 1 June 2013, 2 June 2013, 3 June 2013, … and 30 June 2013.

  Your consecutive-day Unknowns streak optionally can begin before the first day of the month and can continue beyond the last day.

• You can find multiple caches (even multiple Unknowns) each day, as long as you find at least one Unknown cache on each day of your selected month.

• You can use any type of Unknown cache: puzzle caches, challenge caches, night caches, beacon caches, etc. As long as it’s categorized as an Unknown cache type (i.e., blue question mark icon), then you’re okay.

• Each find must have a unique GCCode. Thus, only a single “Stash n’ Dash” (GCA0D6) find can be counted.

• You cannot include this cache among your qualifying finds.

• Normal geocaching conventions apply. You cannot find your own caches. Use the proper dates for your find logs. Etc.

Logging this Cache

You can sign this cache’s physical log sheet before you complete its requirements. But do not log an online “Found It” until you’ve signed this cache’s physical log sheet and shown that you’ve met the challenge requirements. We’ll delete any premature “Found Its.”

If you sign the physical log sheet before you complete the requirements, then you can log an online “Write Note” to help you remember this fact.

Providing Proof

One of the things you must do before claiming an online “Found It” is show that you’ve met this challenge’s requirements. You can do this in various ways, but just be sure your list of qualifying challenge caches includes (at a minimum): (1) their GCCodes and (2) the dates you found them.

• For example, you could create a publicly viewable bookmarks list.

• Or, you could include the list as part of your online log. The Project-GC challenge checker's output (see above) might assist you in this task. For instance, here’s a partial list of our qualifying finds:

  01 June 2013: GC4CG4B
  02 June 2013: GC4BXK1
  03 June 2013: GC495GT
  04 June 2013: GC43HZR
  05 June 2013: GC3WKBV
  ...
  30 June 2013: GC2WZ98
  

• Or, you could use third-party software to create your list and upload an image of that list to your online log. For instance, here’s a partial list of our qualifying finds (click here for our full list):

We got the idea for this challenge from Sharknose Bunnies’ “Challenge: PuzzleMonth” (GC3BF5E). The puzzle portion was inspired by geomatrix’s “ELM ST NIGHTMARE” (GC1B2E8).
