Geocache Description:


This is another of our "Gruncle" caches in honor of our brother-in-law, 2nd1of3, who got us hooked on geocaching. 

 

Gruncle just LOVES geocaching and can't pick a favorite type, so we decided to create this challenge to encourage others to experience the many different types of caches available.  

 

 The cache is at the posted coords, BUT to be eligible you must have found 9 types of caches. The cache types allowed for this challenge are: Traditional, Multicache, Letterbox Hybrid, Mystery/Unknown, Lab, Virtual, Event, Mega Event, Giga Event,  Wherigo, CITO, Waymark, Benchmark, Groundspeak HQ, Project APE, Webcam, Earthcache, Locationless(Reverse)Cache, Lost and Found Event, GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit, GPS Adventures Exhibit, Groundspeak Lost and Found Celebration, Groundspeak Block Party.


  This cache does NOT count toward the 9 types needed for the challenge.
There are no date restrictions, previous finds do count.  Caches anywhere in the world past, present, and future are allowed.
  

You do not need to find this cache the same day as the other 9.

 

Use the challenge checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8EGZC/45360, preferably make your 9 qualifying caches visible on this cache-page, either a list in your log or a bookmark list.

 

 

Thought I'd have a little fun with the attributes on this one, your caching may very well have included all those attributes! Yet, the D/T rating of this cache as a stand alone is 5/4.5 to reflect the requirements of this challenge cache.

 

Here are the list of different caches I have found.
