The Challenge

Find caches from at least 12 different cache types. Additionally:

  • Your most frequently found cache type must have at least 2,048 finds.
    (2,048 = 211 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2).

  • Your next most frequently found cache type must have at least 1,024 finds.
    (1,024 = 210 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2).

  • Your next most frequently found cache type must have at least 512 finds.
    (512 = 29 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2).

  • …256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8,…

  • Your tenth-most frequently found cache type must have at least 4 finds.
    (4 = 22 = 2*2).

  • Your eleventh-most frequently found cache type must have at least 2 finds.
    (2 = 21 = 2).

  • Your twelfth-most frequently found cache type must have at least 1 find.
    (1 = 20 = 1).

The Details

  • Important: The Lab Cache type is not allowed to be used in these kinds of challenges. So, if you have some Lab Cache finds, then you must ignore them for the purposes of this challenge.

  • Also disallowed are Benchmark finds and Waymark finds.

  • You cannot include this cache among your qualifying finds.

  • Normal geocaching conventions apply. For example, you cannot find your own caches.

Logging this Cache

You can sign this cache’s physical log sheet at any time – before, during, or after your qualifying day. 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

If your Groundspeak “Cache Types I’ve Found” bar chart can be viewed by the public, then you don’t have to prove you’ve met this challenge’s requirement; we’ll simply check your Groundspeak profile’s statistics page.

If your Groundspeak “Cache Types I’ve Found” bar chart is private, then you must prove you’ve met this challenge’s requirement. One way would be to upload a screen shot of your bar chart in your online log:

Another way to provide proof that you’ve accomplished this challenge would be to copy the Project-GC challenge checker’s “Example log” (see above) to your online log:
