The Rules and Regulations

1. To log this cache, you must find at least 6 different cache types in one day. The acceptable types are: Traditional, Multi-cache, Unknown (mystery), Letterbox Hybrid, Earthcache, Virtual, Webcam, Wherigo, Event, Mega-Event, CITO, GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit, Project A.P.E., Special Events (note: The 10 year event icon above is used to denote all special events in the future that are given a custom icon)
2. Benchmarks and locationless types DO NOT count toward the goal!
3. There is a date restriction for this Challenge. Previous finds DO NOT count. Only caches found after 6/5/10 will be accepted.
4. This cache container cannot count toward its own goal. This cache does not count as the Unknown cache type and cannot be one of your six or more caches. If you find an Unknown cache type as part of this challenge, it cannot be this cache.
5. In order to log your find and get your smiley, you must locate the physical cache and sign the log. (The cache is at the coordinates listed above.)
6. You are not required to find this cache container on the same day you fulfilled the challenge requirements. You do need to include in your log the date that you fulfilled the challenge requirements, though. If you do find this cache on the same day, you must do so after fulfilling the requirements. You cannot find 3 cache types, then sign the log for this cache, then find the 3 or more remaining cache types.
7. Cache hides/placements do not count toward this goal. Only finds are valid.
8. We request that your busy day is fulfilled in NH. In other words, if there are NH caches of any type that you have not found, they must be used before going out-of-state for cache finds. For example, if you are going to use a virtual cache, and there is one in NH that you have not found, it must be used before any out-of-state virtuals. But we realize that Project Ape, Mega, and Maze Adventure Exhibit cache types are outside of NH. And you may have already logged the 1 wherigo in NH. So foreign caches will be allowed in these cases. But please use NH caches if available.
9. You do not need to obtain permission from the cache owner before logging this find. The cache owner will research your finds once you log your entry to confirm that you have fulfilled the requirements. Additionally, the cache owner will attempt to contact you for clarification before deleting any logs.
10. In the case of a FTF tie on any date, benchmarks found on that same date will be used for a tie breaker.

BONUS Recognition below and FTF rights go to the First To Find in each of these categories.
