Geocache Description:

Welcome to Challenge Alley. Check for other challenge caches in the area.


 

Cache is at the posted coords, but you must read the cache page for requirements to log this cache!



Disclaimer: This cache is not for everybody.

We came across this type of challenge and thought it was very cool. Who doesn't like a challenge? What we noticed was that Southern California was without a Fizzy 81 challenge, so we placed one here.

We would like to thank the Northern California cache, "Well Rounded Cacher (The Fizzy Challenge)," GC11E8N for help with this page.), The original Fizzy Challenge cache, was placed in California by Kealia to honor the cacher FizzyMagic, who has given much to the “local caching community” better know as the San Francisco Bay area.

To be able to claim a find on this cache, you will need to first find at least one cache of every difficulty/terrain combination (81 unique combinations). As part of those finds, you'll need to have at least one of each of the cache types below (the different cache types DO count against the 81, so if you find a 2.5/2.5 multi-cache, it fulfills both requirements.) You can use APE caches, MEGA events, or Locationless Caches towards this cache if you have them, but they are not required as they are few and far between:

Earthcache - EarthCache
Event Cache - Event Cache
Letterbox Hybrid - Letterbox Hybrid
CITO Event - Cito Event
Multi Cache - Multi Cache
Traditional Cache - Traditional Cache
Unknown Cache - Unknown Cache
Virtual Cache - Virtual Cache
Webcam Cache - Webcam Cache




How do you track your caches? There are three options:
1) Create a bookmark list and keep track
2) Upload your My Finds PQ to My Geocaching Profile
3) Use FizzyMagic's FindStats Program (requires download)

Basic rules (to keep things easy):
- All PREVIOUS cache finds DO count - you do NOT start from "0" at this point
- All finds (except the Event and CITO Events) must be on caches that were published at least 6 Months BEFORE you log this cache (to avoid "dummy caches" being listed just to meet the requirements)
- No rating changes of existing caches will be accepted as counting towards your goal
- Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply
- These must be caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally (physically) found and logged
- No logging finds on caches you own will be allowed
- If you have others with you when you find the final cache, only those who have fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache will be allowed to log it as a find.
- Finds without the proper back-up will be deleted
- This cache does not count as the 5/5 in the matrix. You must find a 5/5 before this one

Please keep to these simple rules to keep things fun for everybody. Smiley


To get credit for this find (and keep your find from being deleted) you must post one of the following with your found log:
A) A link to a bookmark list showing all the caches that meet the requirements; OR
B) A link to your page on My Geocaching Profile showing your finds

The final cache location is a 2/2 based on a short 50 foot walk from the road. The 5/5 for the overall cache rating is based on the logging requirements.


This should be fun and I'm counting on the honor system for sticking to the rules (especially the finds on caches published BEFORE this one). I will spot check the finds, but don't want to have to be the cache police on checking every find. Please "play" fair and have a good time!



The first 10 verified finders that have NOT logged this type of find before will receive a gift/reward of one of the geocoins shown below for FREE! The coin is trackable and will have it's own icon for bragging rights!
