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 twelve caches on a day. These finds will need to be on 12 consecutive caching days; however, they can be done in any order. 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 12 days. After you have completed the twelve caching days you can find the Daily Dozen Challenge cache - YOU CANNOT COUNT THIS IN YOUR TWELVE DAYS OF CACHING. This should be done on a seperate day, so basically a 13th caching day.
Now for the rules:
1. You cannot have two days with the same number of finds; therefore, if you mess up your counts YOU MUST START OVER. The exact find totals for each of your twelve days is what matters - example: you can't find nine twice but use one of those days for the eight-count day.
2. In the 78 cache finds, you need to have a minimum of 7 multi or puzzle caches.
3. No finds before March 13, 2009 count toward this challenge, all finds must be after the publication of the challenge.
4. Caches must be found on 12 consecutive caching days. Meaning 12 days of caching, even if you take days of break (no cache finds) in between.
Logging Requirements to complete this challenge cache:
1. Keeping in mind the requirements stated above, find and log the twelve 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 twelve caches found on a day.
2. You'll need to submit your list in one of two ways: If you are a premium member you can create a public bookmark called "Daily Dozen Challenge - yourcachingname" which contains 13* cache names inside it. One cache for each of your 12 days of caching. 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. Please maintain this bookmark until we have confirmed your list
If you are not a premium member you'll need to submit your list via email to Team OCD. Title your list "Daily Dozen Challenge - yourcachingname" which contains 13* cache names inside it. One cache for each of your 12 days of caching. Include in your list 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 13th entry in the bookmark or email list needs to be this Daily Dozen Challenge cache itself.
Cache is located at the listed coordinates, but any find logs not accompanied by a book mark list or email will be deleted.
To make this challenge even more fun post a note saying you are attempting this cache. Let's see who gets it done first.
