Geocache Description:


A Challenge cache placed in celebration of Geocaching's 10th Anniversary

Logging Requirements: To log a “Found it” for this cache, in addition to finding the cache and signing the logbook, you must have:



Found a cache published in each year
from 2000 to 2010


We enjoy working on challenge caches. One that we are near completion on is The Jasmer Challenge (Northern California Edition), GC1GBC1. That challenge requires cachers to log finds on caches published every month since May 2000. For some of the early months, remaining caches are few and far between, requiring travel to different corners of the US.

For this "Mini Jasmer," we challenge to you a more achievable goal: to find a cache published in each year.

The Rules and Regulations

  • Previous finds DO count, so you may already qualify.
  • Qualifying caches must have physically been visited by you: Traditional, Multi-cache, Virtual, Letterbox Hybrid, Unknown (Mystery), Webcam, Wherigo, Earthcache, Event, CITO, Mega-Event, Project APE, GPS Adventure Exhibit.
  • You must demonstrate that you have met this logging requirement by including your list of 11 qualifying caches in your Found log, or by attaching a screen shot of your monthly coverage grid from GSAK.
  • Cache is at the posted coordinates, and is available from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. In order to log a find, you must have fulfilled the Challenge requirements. Logs not meeting the Challenge requirements will be deleted.

Below is our list of qualifying caches for this challenge. While we have many finds over the 10 year period, this list includes active caches that are closest in proximity to the challenge cache. GSAK will help sorting through caches you've already found. Pocket queries help in locating qualifying caches.
