Geocache Description:

Welcome to "Challenge Alley". This cache is accessible from the bike trail.

 

The cache IS at the posted coordinates!

 

Please read the description below for logging requirements.

Numbers. We are fascinated by them.  We love to celebrate milestones and goals met of various numbers.  Seven Days of caching always seems to be a great way to "relax" and gives us a sense of accomplishment.


The Challenge is to find one cache on a given day; two caches on another day; three caches on still yet another day and so forth all the way up to finding seven caches on a day.  However; they can be done in any order and do not need to be on consecutive days.  For instance, on day #1, you might find seven caches.  Now you have your 7-caches-on-a-day completed.  A couple of days later you might find three caches.  OK, now you have your 3-caches-on-a-day completed.  Therefore; the minimum number of days that it would take to complete this Challenge is 7 days.  By completing this challenge you will have needed to find a minimum of 28 caches, seven of them being something other than a Traditional cache.

 

Below are four additional stipulations:

  1. I will explain this stipulation by using an example.  Let's say that all you have left to do to complete the Challenge is to find 5 caches on a day.  You look at your find's log and discover that a while back you found 6 caches on that day.  You might think that this would complete the Challenge for you.  Wrong!  If you need to find 5 caches on a day, then this means that you need to find (or have found) exactly 5 caches on that day and no more.

  2. On each caching day, you must find at least one of any of the following: Multicache, Puzzle/Mystery cache, Virtual, Earthcache, Letterbox Hybrid, Webcam, CITO or Event.  They can't all be good ole traditional caches.  So, obviously this means that for your 1-cache-on-a-day requirement, you need to find something other than a Traditional cache.

  3. No finds before July 19, 2008 are relevant to this Challenge in order to even out the Playing Field for everyone.

  4. You MUST have fun!!!

Note: Event caches count - Regular, Mega, CITO, FlashMob... whatever!

 

To complete this Challenge cache, do the following:

  1. Keeping in mind the requirements stated above, find and log the seven days of caching which consisted of one cache found on a day, two caches found on a day, three caches found on a day and so forth up to seven caches found on a day. If you can not create a bookmark as outlined below, simply list the appropriate caches in your "Found It" log.

  2. Create a public bookmark called "The 7 Days Challenge - yourcachingname" which contains 8 or more cache names inside it.  These caches are the NON TRADITIONAL caches that you found on each of those seven days of caching.  (Of course, it will be the only cache found for your one-cache-on-a-day requirement!)  Include in the comments field the date that the cache(s) were found and whether this was a 1-cache-day or a 2-cache-day or a 3-cache-day, etc.  The 8th entry in this bookmark needs to be this The 7 Days Challenge cache itself.

  3. Once you complete your bookmark, post a note to this cache page for final approval. While you can find the cache without further information, if you send me a message through geocaching.com, I will send (usually within 24 hours or less) the official OK to log your completion of this challenge.  I will spot check your profile to make sure that you have adhered to the requirements of this challenge.

The idea for this challenge was taken from A Baker's Dozen Challenge Cache
