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.  One hundred always seems to be a significant number that gives us a sense of accomplishment.

What does the "Average of 4.1667 Finds/Hour" mean?  This would be the average number of finds per hour if you found exactly 100 caches over a 24 hour period.

 

The object of this challenge is that you must find, all within a 24 hour period, a total of 100 caches or more.  Fill the tank and stock up the car with snacks, water, caffeinated something and some Bengay.  You will be doing a lot of running around.  Now for some, you have already done this and know what this type of day will entail.  Well get ready to do it again.  Past blitzes don't count for this one.

 

The Rules of this Challenge:

  • All of your finds must be found within any 24 hour period.  If you want to start at noon, you have until noon the next day to complete your 100 finds.

  • To even the playing field, only a caching blitz day on or after the hidden date of this challenge may be used.  This may be the excuse you have been looking for to cache in a new area that you have not already cleaned out.  Do I hear "Road Trip"?

  • You can use any type of cache finds with the exclusion of other challenges.

  • No "Armchair" finds may be used for this challenge.  You must have physically visited each cache that day.

  • Use of THIS challenge for your 24 hour count may be counted ONLY IF you physically visited and signed the log in the time period of your blitz.

  • You can visit the final and sign at anytime but you can not log your completion until you meet the logging requirements.  (Doing this eliminates your ability to use this as the cache find during your blitz)

  • You MAY NOT log this challenge as conquered in conjunction with a completion of the " 100 Stars Challenge".  These challenges are intended to be completed on separate days with a separate set of finds.

  • Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply. These must be bona fide caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally and physically active, found and logged. 

Logging Requirements:

To log a “Found it” for this cache, in addition to finding the cache and signing the logbook, you must have:

Found a minimum of 100 caches during a 24 hour period.

In your log you must state the start and ending time of your Blitz.

If I don't get some highlights from your adventure consider your log deleted.

I know that you will be tired, but come on!!

I am also looking for your "Hourly Average" in the log.

 

Demonstrate this logging requirement as you see fit to meet the requirements.  If you use a stats generator for your profile, that would suffice as long as it shows your "fastest 100 finds" in some way with a valid date.  Otherwise you could just state in your log the date(s) of your blitz with the starting and ending caches listed.  Regardless of how you demonstrate your completion of this challenge your log must include your "Hourly Average" for the day.

 

What is your average?  Here is how to find out:

Let pretend that you got up really early and headed out for a 24 hour cache blitz.  You found 132 caches within that 24 hour period.

Number of Finds/24 = Hourly Average

So...   132/24 = 5.5 Finds/Hour
