Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The purpose of this
cache is simple...to help prove to yourself how dedicated of
a cacher you really are!!!
In order to claim a find on this cache, you must have successfully
found (placing a cache will not count for this challenge) at least
one cache in each of the Difficulty/Terrain combinations found in
the table below (just like blackout for BINGO…only in this game
there is no “Free Spot”). Sounds simple…right?!?!?! In case you
have not calculated it yet…that is 81 individual caches you must
find before you can claim a find on this cache!!!
The final cache coordinates are listed on this cache
page.
In order to claim a find on this cache, you must send me a file
containing all of your qualifying finds (.GPX format is preferred
or .LOC if you filter out your locationless, event and CITO caches
ahead of time for me. At a minimum I need a list containing cache
name, waypoint and Difficulty/Terrain ratings).
DO NOT email me through my profile send file to
zoejam72@hotmail.com (the other account will not hold such a
big file!) I will review the list in order to verify the caches.
The find cannot be logged until the physical container is found and
the logbook inside is signed.
Some guidelines that need to be laid out…
- The posted coordinates are the actual coordinates for the
cache.
- Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging
a cache find apply. These must be actual caches listed on
Gecaching.com that you have personally (physically) found and
logged. You may include caches found prior to the creation of
Challenge: Blackout so long as they meet all other challenge
requirements.
- All cache types count as finds for Challenge: Blackout with the
exception of events (CITO included) and locationless caches.
- While you may have others with you when you find the final
cache, only those who have fulfilled all criteria for this cache
will be allowed to log it as a find. Find logs by other cachers
that do not meet the requirements will be deleted.
- Only the Difficulty/Terrain (Star) ratings as listed on cache
pages will be excepted. I am only responsible for this cache
page…if a cache owner changes a rating either up or down and causes
a loss in one of the Difficulty/Terrain ratings before you find the
cache, you will need to find an additional cache to complete that
requirement. If a cache owner changes a rating up or down and
causes a loss in one of the Difficulty/Terrain ratings after you
find the cache, you are NOT expected to find an additional cache
(but if you were dedicated enough to find all these ratings…could
you really live with yourself if you didn’t try again???).
- When in doubt ask – we can discuss it or even seek guidance
from others, but the final decision rest with the cache owner.
- Remember that this is a game and is supposed to be
fun!
