Geocache Description:


Now that I know that KJKlock does not hold the rights to the title of "Official Challenge Cache Placer for San Antonio" I decided to place a challenge cache since Electric Water Boy apparently got away with it last week with no ill effects =)
See Jasmer Lite Challenge if you don't understand

I HAVE decided to keep the cache in the general area that has been used for the majority of the challenge caches in SATX.

To qualify to log this challenge cache as a find, you must have found at least 150 caches all placed by the same owner. The caches can be anywhere in the world and archived caches DO count (you DID find it!) The caches can be of any type and it doesn't matter when you found them.

One interesting thing about caching is learning the style of cache owners and their hides. After you have found 50 caches or so hidden by one owner you may start to be able to make pretty good educated guesses about hides and find them with ease, whereas someone who has not found many of this person's caches may have a very hard time doing the same caches. For me this has definitely been true with all the great JMCz caches that are out there. When I was brand new to geocaching his hides were very difficult to me...until I learned to think like him. {BUT, with JMCz he still has many tricks that baffle me even after finding 164 of his caches}

The easiest way to get credit for finding this cache is to have GSAK stats on your profile showing the "Finds by Owner" table. If you want you can include a screenshot/photo of your stats page with your log as well. PGC Checker

My Finds by Owner as of 13 August 2011

NOTE: I forgot about another "Easy" way to get the credit. You can use http://www.mygeocachingprofile.com and the "Cache Owners of My Finds" Profile Section to see your stats as well. Groundspeak has aquired MGP and has starting using the stats from this website in our profles.

The harder way to get credit for this cache is to create a public bookmark of all your 150+ finds by one owner that qualify you to find this cache. I will check your list to make sure that you qualify and send you an email to your Groundspeak profile with your congratulatory message. After that you can delete the bookmark if you wish. Please do NOT post every single cache in your "Found log"

As with all challenges, I reserve the right to delete your log if you fail to provide proof that you meet the challenge requirements. The actual cache hide is a 1/1 and you should have no trouble if you have found 150 caches hidden by any one owner!

I hope that you enjoy the idea of this challenge and that you have great memories of all the hides you have found by that special cache owner that has boosted your numbers, helped you to become a better cacher, given you ideas for new hides, and just baffled you on occasion. Feel free to write a few words about that cache owner and share any great stories. This is just a small way to help honor and thank all those great hiders out there!

Enjoy!
