Geocache Description:

The Andorra Meadow is a beautiful spot located between Chestnut and Lafayette Hills on the fringes of Philadelphia. It's also a great spot for a cache, or in this case a gadget cache. You'll need to make sure to bring the solution to the puzzle and a USB battery pack with you to win this contest.

This cache is perfect for all ages and is my first attempt at an electronic gadget cache, I hope you enjoy it!


Traditional, Mystery, Multi, Earth, Letterbox, Events, Virtual, and Webcam are just some of the more common cache types you'll find out in the wild.  Not all of these caches are still available to modern cachers and of the ones that are left some are far more popular than others.  Your job will be to figure out just how popular each of the below caches are and solve a puzzle to claim your log.

The coordinates will take you to the cache container, though it's a large container the actual inner core is quite small.  To solve the puzzle of this cache you'll need to know how popular each of the following caches types are:

  • Traditional
  • Multi-Cache
  • Mystery Cache
  • Events
  • Letterbox Hybrid

Popularity in this case is gauged by the number of active, enabled, caches of each type that are currently hidden.  As a free clue, the most popular cache type at the time of writing are traditional caches with 2,346,567 search results.  The next most popular brings in over 300,000 and the least popular of the five a little over 5,000.

Once you've entered each cache type and pressed enter the solution to the cache will appear and you'll be able to claim the log. Please make sure to re-hide well and that the container is sealed tightly. If you have any problems don't hesitate to message me for a hint or owner maintenance.
