Numbers. We are fascinated by them. We love to celebrate milestones and goals met of various numbers. But for this challenge you will be going for a complete array of caches in difficulty, terrain and type.
The rating for the cache is based on the challenge to complete, as a traditional cache with a 2.5 mile walk/bike ride it would be rated 2.5/3. Please replace cache exactly as found, thank you.
