Webster’s tells us that a Renaissance Man is:
(a) a modern scholar who is in a position to acquire more than superficial knowledge about many different interests.
(b) a scholar during the Renaissance who (because knowledge was limited) could know almost everything about many topics.
(c) a person who is well educated, or who excels, in a wide variety of subjects or fields.
The Renaissance Cacher challenge was designed to broaden your Geocaching horizons, and allow you to gain knowledge and experience on every type of Geocache.
Many cachers enjoy the hunt of the traditional cache, but have never tried a multi cache, or a virtual, or any others. There are 12 different types of caches in the world of Geocaching. In order to log this cache, you must have done at least 9 cache types. If you have the following cache types, by all means use them, but they are not required.

Wherigo Cache – this one takes special equipment, so if you Can’t do this type of cache, (and can’t find anyone to team up with for the cache) just log the first 9… BUT if you do a Wherigo you get a bonus of extra caching karma!
To get credit for this find (and keep your log from being deleted) you must have found at least 9 of the cache types. These may be types that have been phased out. We may check your profile page for qualification.
