The Challenge

In order to log a find, you must solve the simple puzzle *AND* fulfill the Additional Logging Requirement of having

Found Six Different Cache Types in One Day

Tell us about your One Busy Day any way you see fit, such as posting a relevant screen shot, creating a public bookmark list, or simply listing the caches in your log.

GCE125 - CalTrain - San Francisco - Virtual Cache
GCGH5J - Columba - Letterbox Hybrid

The Puzzle

Question: What date did shell1fish first qualify for this challenge?
Answer: mm/dd/yyyy = AB/CD/EFGH

The cache is located at
N   34° GH. (D-1) E (D)
W 118° CA. F (B+1) (H-1)

You can check your answer at Geochecker.com.

The Cache

After your Busy Day, come and relax on the short hike to the cache in the Lower Arroyo Park. The closest parking is at the Pasadena Roving Archers Range and Casting Club (N 34 08.425, W 118 10.038) off of Arroyo Blvd, and it's 0.20 miles to the cache one way on level ground. The cache is on the west side of the main water channel off the beaten path, but no bushwhacking is required. The posted coordinates for this cache (N 34 08.536, W 118 10.061) are a good place to leave the streamside trail. You are looking for an ammo can. Please rehide the cache well.

The Rules and Regulations

  • This Unknown (Mystery) cache does NOT count toward the six Cache Types needed for the Challenge.
  • There are no date restrictions for this Challenge. Previous finds DO count, so you may already qualify.
  • All cache types past, present, and future ARE allowed for this Challenge: Traditional, Multi-cache, Virtual, Letterbox Hybrid, Unknown (Mystery), Webcam, Wherigo, Earthcache, Event, CITO, Mega-Event, Project APE, Maze Adventure Exhibit, and Locationless (Reverse)
  • Bonus points for finding a benchmark on the same day, but benchmarks do NOT count toward your six.
  • If you haven't yet qualified, feel free to visit the cache, pick up or drop off trackables, and post a note, but in order to log a find, you must visit the cache and sign the log AFTER you have fulfilled the requirements.

This Challenge is open to everyone. Feel free to contact me to make wheelchair accessible arrangements.

Special thanks to PJPeters for inspiration and permission to use this idea.
