The listed coordinates are for an actual cache located in Farmington, NH. To log this cache, you must complete the challenge described below.
I've wanted to use this title for a cache for sometime, but couldn't find the right place and/or create a good Spikester1 story to go with it. The recent flurry of 'challenge caches' finally provided me with an idea that I could use with this title.
The Rules:
(1) To log this cache, you must have found 66.6% or more of the active caches (either all cache types or just traditional caches at your discretion) within 50 miles of your home Zip Code (or optionally, your home coordinates). With your log, at a minimum, provide the percent of in-radius caches you have found. For example, here is my present (10 NOV 2008) status:
Total In Radius Caches: 4101
Total In Radius Finds: 2760
Percentage Found = 67.3%
(2) You may sign into the cache log at any time. However, to log the cache, you must meet the requirements of rule (1).
(3) The cache owner reserves the right to delete the log of anyone determined to not meet the requirements of rule (1).
How to determine if you qualify:
Use the 'advanced search' function on the Geocaching.com homepage to search for the caches surrounding your Zip Code (or home coordinates) with and without your finds/hides excluded from the results. This will provide both the total number of caches within your 50 miles radius and the total number of caches you have not found within the radius. Differencing these two numbers will provide the number of caches you have found within your radius. I leave the calculation of the percent found as an exercise for the cacher.
Good luck to everyone!
