A Dozen Cache Challenge for those cachers that are no longer challenged by a good micro hide in a tree. Look through your calendar and see if you qualify already. I am sure some are close.
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.
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 12 days.
Here is an example that might help. Let's say that all you have left to do to complete the Challenge is to find 8 caches on a day. You look at your find's log and discover that a while back you found 9 caches on that day. You might think that this would complete the Challenge for you. Wrong! If you need to find 8 caches on a day, then this means that you need to find (or have found) exactly 8 caches on that day and no more.
Note: all cache types count that are in BC (traditional, multi, puzzle, cito, event, no project APE though)
To complete this Challenge cache, do the following:
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. You may use this cache as part of your final day.
In your log post your qualifying caches:
Day 1 : GCXXXX
Day 2 : GXXXX, GCXXXX
Day 3 : GCXXX, GCXX, GCXXXX
etc...
NOTE: Your cache finds DO NOT have to be in Kamloops but need to be within BC.
The cache is located in some ponderosa Pine trees, there are warnings posted about the chemical packs that are placed on the trees to ward off the Pine Beetle. The chemicals are dangerous if the packs are opened and spread on your skin. There is no hazard in touching the tree or being near the packs. The cache is not on the trunk of the tree but hidden in the branches away from the packs.
