Requirements

  2. Find the cache at the given coordinates.
  3. Sign the log in the cache.
  4. Log your find here and include the date and GC Codes for the caches used to fulfill the challenge requirements. huggy_d1 will check that date and post a note to indicate success.

Location Details
This cache is located in Deep Run Park in Henrico County, VA. The park hours are dawn to dusk.

Rules
In order to log this cache as "found", you must follow this set of rules:
  1. You must first complete the challenge portion of this cache by finding FIVE cache types in ONE DAY! The thirteen acceptable cache types are:
    Traditional Cache
    Multi-Cache (Offset Cache)
    Mystery or Puzzle Caches
    Letterbox Hybrid
    EarthCache
    Virtual Cache
    Webcam Cache
    Wherigo™ Cache
    Event Cache
    Mega-Event Cache
    Cache In Trash Out Event
    GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit
    Project A.P.E. Cache
    10 Year Celebration Events Lost & Found Event Lost & Found Event (Lackey attended it!) Lost & Found Mega Event (Lackey attended it!)
    Locationless caches do NOT qualify for this challenge!
    Benchmarks do NOT qualify for this challenge!
  2. Benchmarks and locationless types do NOT count toward the goal!
  3. Your busy day can be from any day, regardless of if it was from before this cache was published.
  4. This cache container cannot count toward its own goal. This cache does not count as the Unknown cache type and cannot be one of your five caches. If you find an Unknown cache type as part of this challenge, it cannot be this cache.
  5. In order to log your find and get your smiley, you must locate the physical cache and sign the log. (The cache is at the coordinates listed above.)
  6. You are not required to find this cache container on the same day you fulfilled the challenge requirements. You do need to include in your log the date that you fulfilled the challenge requirements, though. If you do find this cache on the same day, you must do so after fulfilling the requirements. You cannot find 3 cache types, then sign the log for this cache, then find the 2 remaining cache types.
  7. Cache hides/placements do not count toward this goal. Only finds are valid.
  8. Caches may be from any location/state. This challenge is not restricted to Virginia. The cache title includes "(VA)" simply to clarify where this cache is physically located compared with the other Busy Day caches.
  9. You do not need to obtain permission from the cache owner before logging this find. The cache owner will research your finds once you log your entry to confirm that you have fulfilled the requirements. Additionally, the cache owner will attempt to contact you for clarification before deleting any logs.

How is this challenge possible???
Though it takes planning, it is possible to grab five (and even eight) cache types in one day. The great thing about this cache is that it's a difficult challenge, and it's even harder for those die-hard cachers who have cleared all the caches nearby.

Credits: Props to PJPeters, who put out the original challenge of this type, "A Well-Rounded Day". Thanks also to all the others who placed their own Well-Rounded Day/One Busy Day caches.

Congratulations to [you?] for taking the extra initiative for the FTF - and the curse! 
You can hover over the cache type icons to see which caches each person found to fulfill this challenge. These are just the first 25 cachers to find the challenge cache. Congratulations to all cachers who were able to make for a somewhat busy day!

If you're note sure when you had a busy day and use GSAK, run this macro on your "finds" pocket query. It will show you your busiest day. You can also upload your finds pocket query to www.itsnotaboutthenumbers.com and run through the various stats to find it.
