100 Stars Challenge. The cache IS at the posted coordinates. Please read the description below for logging requirements.

Numbers. We are fascinated by them. We love to celebrate milestones and goals met of various numbers.

ONE HUNDRED always seems to be a significant number that gives us a sense of accomplishment.

The object of this challenge: Find caches, all within one calendar day, where the combined Difficulty and Terrain stars add up to a minimum of 100. You might call this your Star Search day.
This can be can be done in a minimum of ten caches for the really ambitious. (10 caches rated as 5/5 star. 5 stars x 20 = 100) It can also be accomplished with exactly 50 caches at the other extreme. (50 caches rated as 1/1 star. 1 star x 100 = 100 stars) So all you have to do is find between 10 and 50 caches within one calendar day where their combined stars equal or exceed 100 stars!! That's not so hard. Or is it?
Qualifying cache finds start on the date of publication

How do you figure this out?
Let's use this cache as an example. Difficulty 3.5, Terrain 1.5 = 3.5 + 1.5 = 5 stars for this example cache??
