4.) Carefully choose the caches you want to do and make sure you are up to the challenge of each cache.
5.) Earthcaches and Unknown/Puzzle caches can be counted.
6.) Some caches may be overrated, so there may be times you get off easy.


THE CLINCHER!
Owning a High Terrain Cache does NOT qualify it towards your list of finds.


WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FIND 100?:
1.) There are just so many out there to find.
2.) Many of you have already found a lot them.
3.) Too many are way too easy and overrated.
4.) Because I said so.


ABOUT THE LOCATION:
You will have to park alonside Research Park Blvd. to get it.
The area is heavily wooded and rarely sees human traffic.
The cache has been placed to keep it away from other caches.
It is also very well hidden, since it will most likely not be visited very often.

ABOUT THE CACHE:
The actual hide itself is a 1.5 Difficulty and a 2.0 Terrain
The container is a well cleaned and camo painted mayo jar.
It has a decent assortment of trade items, including a few micro cache containers, coin type items, etc.

Good Luck, Be Careful and most of all Have Fun.


Some higher terrain caches involve a higher amount of risk and danger.
By attempting those caches, YOU are assuming that risk and YOU are putting yourself in possible dangerous situations of your own free will.
No one is forcing you to do those caches, take those risks or put yourself in any dangerous situations to complete this challenge.
The sole responsibility is on YOU to do the caches suited to your abilities and nobody is forcing you to do them.
There are many easier higher terrain caches available to complete the requirements for this Challenge.
