Geocache Description:


The cache container IS at the posted coordinates.

Compilation challenge caches (CCCs) are flourishing! Time to grab 50 of 'em. In fact, I am wondering whether we cachers soon will think that 100 is a perfectly easy number of compilation challenge caches to complete. Anyway, the object of this CCC is to get to 50 "found it" logs on compilation challenge caches.

So, what counts as a compilation challenge cache? A compilation challenge cache is a particular kind of unknown cache. Unlike a standard unknown cache, a compilation challenge cache generally requires you to have found other caches--often some sort of achievement--to qualify for the challenge. There are exceptions--sometimes a compilation challenge cache requires you NOT to find a cache: GC1E8DZ and GC2CVJW, for example, require you to have logged 100 or more DNFs!

I'm already anticipating the flood of emails to me about whether a cache counts for this challenge. To try to head that off, let me say that I'm a big fan of the bookmark lists of shell1fish and Doctor A. If a cache you want to count is on either list, I have got no problem counting it. This could change, if the nature of their lists changes, but for now, I don't see any reason not to go with that. If you know of another cache that's not on their lists and you think should be, let 'em know, and let me know too.

Now for a few words from the Promotion of Clarity Department:

You must find 50 caches to complete this challenge.
The caches must be compilation challenge caches. A puzzle cache where you need to put together information from other caches is not a CCC.
For CCCs where the cache owner allows multiple logs if you complete the challenge multiple times, each of those multiple finds DOES count for this challenge.
Past finds DO count, so you may already qualify for this challenge.
You can demonstrate that you have completed the challenge by listing the caches in your "found it" log or creating a bookmark list. (Other options MAY be possible by request.) Please indicate the qualifying caches' names, GC numbers, and the date when you found them.
You must sign the log of the physical cache; you may sign the log before completing the challenge. Please use a "write note" if you have either signed the log or found the qualifying caches, but not both. When you have done both, you may post a "found it" log.

Have fun!

There's a gold dollar for the first-to-sign-log, even if they aren't the first to claim a find.

Congrats to retiredprof for the FTF!
Congrats to Cachegeezer for making this find #3400!
