Geocache Description:

A new Challenge Cache that everyone can do!
May 3rd is the Ten Year Anniversary of Geocaching -- so we're celebrating.

Cache is located at the posted coordinates.


Cachers often run out for the FTF on the day a new cache is activated. To complete this challenge, you must find four caches, all on their anniversaries of activation. This challenge will take a bit of planning.
Based on the date the cache was hidden, find a cache that's exactly 1, 2, 3, and 4 years old.

A few rules to make it fair for newcomers as well as long-time cachers:

Previous finds do NOT count.

You must find 4 caches, on their anniversaries, to complete this challenge. You must find the 4-year-old cache first, then continue in order, ending with the 1-year-old cache.

The caches must all be found after April 30, 2010. All 4 do NOT need to be found on the same day.

Use only the hide date--not the publication date--to determine the cache's anniversary.

Event caches do not qualify for the challenge.

Virtuals and earthcaches do qualify, if you visit them on their anniversaries to collect the information. Limit 1 virtual OR 1 earthcache in your list of 4--you don't have to have any.

In your "found it" log, list the qualifying caches--include at least the waypoint ID ("GC number"), their hide dates, and the date you found them. I will verify your list.

You must sign the log of the physical cache AFTER you've completed the challenge.

I have borrowed extensively from Bajatym who has many great caches in Orange County, including the 6 Birthdays Challenge OC.(GC23CQX),


***CONGRATULATIONS TO HOLAZOLA FOR BEING THE FIRST TO COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE***
