Geocache Description:


The cache is at the posted coordinates. Please read the description below for logging requirements. Hide difficulty is rated 2 stars.

Cache is a Micro located at Indy Island Park. This is an Indy Park but please note that this park is located between Raymond Park Middle School and Liberty Creek Elementary School. Please use appropriate judgment when hunting for this cache. If you’ve found a cache hidden in this manner before it’s a 1-star P&G hide.

Numbers. We are fascinated by them. We love to celebrate milestones and goals met of various numbers. One hundred always seems to be a significant number that gives us a sense of accomplishment.

To log a “Found it” for this cache in addition to finding the cache and signing the logbook you must have:

Logged one hundred Did Not Finds.

Multiple DNF's on a single cache do count towards your total. Demonstrate this logging requirement any way you see fit; reference your profile, text in the log, attach an image, create a Bookmark list, etc.

Why are so many cachers reluctant to log DNF’s? It helps the cache owner know there might be a problem with a cache, or help the owner as well as other cache finders get an idea of difficulty. And there’s nothing wrong with being human and sometimes missing the cache. Log those DNF’s and let the record stand. (By the way, if you log your 101st DNF on this cache, well, let’s just call that ironic.)


If you're not sure how to get your total there is an easy way, no need to run a PQ (which wont tell you anyway).

1. From your Quickview
2. Click 'Show all logs for:' 'Caches'
3. Click 'Show:' 'Didn't find it'

You will have a total at the top.


If because of physical limitations you are unable to get to any of the other Challenge of the Century caches, but you meet the Century logging requirement, you may sign this log and get credit for the find. Log your “Found it” on the appropriate Challenge cache page, and please note in your log that you signed this log. This cache is wheelchair accessible.
