Sometimes referred to as the \u201cWell-Rounded Cacher\u201d and the \u201c81 Grid\u201d, the Fizzy Grid requires you find a cache for each combination of difficulty and terrain. If you want to really go above and beyond, fill out a Fizzy for each cache type.

To give you a sense of the breadth of this challenge, there are less than 110 caches hidden in 2000 that are still active.

That could mean a 365-day streak or a multitude of geocaching expeditions over several years.
