All-Difficulties, Iconic, Nine-Day Challenge Mystery Cache

The cache IS at the posted coordinates.

The Challenge

Find nine caches on nine consecutive days. These nine caches must have nine different difficulty ratings (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5) and at least five different cache types (i.e., icons).

The Details

• You can find the difficulty ratings in any order. They don’t have to be in increasing or decreasing order.

• Only these cache types can be used for your nine qualifying finds: Traditional, Unknown, Multi-Cache, EarthCache, Letterbox-Hybrid, Virtual, and Whereigo.

• You can find multiple caches each day, but only one of them can be used for this challenge.

• You cannot include this cache among your nine qualifying finds. You also cannot include the “Brass Cap Cache” (GC43F3), since its difficulty rating constantly changes.

• 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 you must include (at a minimum): (1) a list of nine GCCodes, (2) the date you found each of those nine caches, (3) the difficulty rating of each of those nine caches, and (4) the cache type (i.e., icon) of each of those nine caches.

• 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 full list of our nine qualifying finds:

  8/15/13 - D1.5 - *Traditional - GC38GGF
  8/16/13 - D1.0 - *EarthCache  - GC1YF6T
  8/17/13 - D2.0 - *Letterbox   - GC3F298
  8/18/13 - D2.5 -  Traditional - GC4H872
  8/19/13 - D5.0 - *Unknown     - GC4GMT4
  8/20/13 - D3.0 - *Multi-cache - GC4BHRJ
  8/21/13 - D3.5 -  Unknown     - GC4GN39
  8/22/13 - D4.5 -  Traditional - GC48HF8
  8/23/13 - D4.0 -  Unknown     - GC4GMTA
  

• 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 full list of our nine qualifying finds:
