Challenge #028 Remote Cache Challenge Mystery Cache

There are lots of challenge caches in this area and we have had a good time finding them and performing the various caching requirements to qualify for them. So this is our first attempt to tempt the geocaching community with our own challenge cache placement. The cache location is one that previously had a cache that was recently archived. I thought it was a good location for a cache so we placed this challenge in the same general area.

The goal of this challenge is to get cachers out looking for caches in Backwoods and Farmcountry Environments, or "remote" caches that are outside of the large clusters of urban caches that reside in most cities.

The requirements to be met in order to find and log this cache are not very difficult and any cacher can likely qualify with a little effort. The requirement is this:

You must find and log at least 5 "remote" caches of any type before you find and log this cache. Then list these qualifying caches and dates in your "found" log.

Now here are the qualifications for a "remote" cache as defined for this challenge:

• A remote cache is a cache that has no other cache listed within 5 km of its posted coordinates.
• If you find a "remote" cache and then sometime later a cache is placed within 5 km, you can still use your find to qualify for this cache. It was "remote" when you found it, so it counts.
• For the purposes of this challenge, only posted coordinates are used. So puzzles and multis are considered to be at their posted coordinates when comparing distances.
• No finds prior to July 1, 2010 count for this challenge. Otherwise there would be no "challenge" part of it for many of you since you'd already qualify.
• When you log your find here, list in your log the GC numbers of the five qualifying caches that you found along with the date of each find.
• Only GC.com caches counts.
