Geocache Description:

An idea stolen from King Boreas (who apparently stole it from IndyMagicMan)

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.
Main Entry: cen·tu·ry
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural cen·tu·ries
Etymology: Latin centuria, irregular from centum hundred
Date: 1533
1: a group, sequence, or series of 100 like things
To log a “Found it” for this cache in addition to finding the cache -- which IS at the listed coordinates -- 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. Online logs without supporting evidence seven days later will be deleted.

Why are so many cachers reluctant to log DNFs? It helps the cache owner know there might be a problem with a cache. It helps the owner as well as other cache finders get an idea of difficulty. There’s nothing wrong with being human and sometimes missing the cache. Log those DNFs 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:

1. From your "My Account Details" page
2. Click 'Show all logs for:' 'Caches'
3. Click 'Show:' 'Didn't find it'

You will have a total at the top.

You are looking for a magnetic keybox. Enjoy! (And if you have a favorite/humorous DNF experience please let us know about it!)
