The Challenging Challenge Challenge- Redux Mystery Cache

The cache is at the posted coordinates but you must follow the requirements below in order to log it! Please read the entire cache page.

The Requirements:

In order to qualify to log this challenge cache you must do one or the other of the following 2 things:

Find or have found 50% or more of the currently active (non-archived) challenge caches in Illinois, other than this one. Bookmark list.

Find or have found 50% or more of the currently active (non-archived) challenge caches in the GONIL area (the counties of Boone, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, Will & Winnebago), other than this one. Bookmark list. This option is no longer available

Additional rules:

1: All finds must be listed on this website. Caches listed on other websites are not allowed.

2: Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply. You must physically visit, locate, sign the log and log your find online for all the caches you claim for this challenge. You also need to meet all other requirements listed on the cache page, if there are any.

3: You can claim challenge caches you own as long as you can prove you qualify for them or you found them prior to adopting them.

4: This cache can't count towards the requirements.

5: Cache types you can use for this challenge: Any, as long as they are a challenge cache.

6: For the purposes of this challenge the posted coordinates of all caches will determine which county or state they can be claimed for.

7: As new challenges get published and old ones get discovered (or archived), I will post a log with the current total number, and number needed to qualify, for each category. Any finds posted more than one day after the most current of these logs must abide by those numbers unless they were pre-qualified by me as set forth below.

Verification:

To verify your finds, make a bookmark list of them. Make the list public and include this cache on it. Keep it for at least one week after you log your find here.

Verification can be done up to 7 days before or 7 days after logging your find. For pre logging verification you can either post a note on the cache page requesting it or send me an email doing so. Post logging verification that is not done within the 7 day period may lead to log deletion.

Logging:

To log the find online you must, of course, go to the coordinates and sign the log. No pre-logging allowed- only signatures entered in the logbook upon or after completion of the challenge will count as an official find.

Please follow the above regulations to keep things fun, and fair, for everyone. Failure to follow them will result in your log being deleted.

The Cache:

You are looking for one of my sig item preforms covered in cammo tape. The terrain rating is for the actual cache placement while the difficulty rating reflects what I think the challenge warrants. I think they should be pretty accurate- after you have found it, let me know what you think. After logging in please replace the container as found, or better if called for.

FTF:

The FTF can take my other, tiny sig item, included inside the container.

Illinois:

GONIL:

FYI:

In case anyone is wondering: yes, I have done this myself- as of the publishing date I've found and/or own & qualify for 58 of the 84 (69.04%) on the Illinois list and 42 of 62 (67.74%) on the GONIL list. There are also several others that I qualify for but haven't found- yet.

Updates:

3/24/12- I've added an additional rule (#7) that covers how newly published or discovered challenges will affect things.
