Geocache Description:

This is a Companion Cache to "Days of the Year Challenge" [GC240VV] and its purpose is to make things easier by breaking down that "Days of the Year Challenge" into smaller bites... Winter ... will be published later. Spring and Summer have already been Published. To complete this Cache and get credit for the 'Find' you must meet the requirements listed below or your 'Find' Log will be Deleted

Requirements: You must have 'Found' a Cache on every day of a year from September 21st for `100 days'. The Caches can be in any year as long as you have 'Found' a Geocache of any type (anywhere) from (and including) September 21st thru (and including) December 29th. For example; Sept. 21, 2010; Sept. 22, 2000; Sept. 23, 2006 and on and on thru Dec. 29, 201X (That's 100 days by my count but you better check -- I could be wrong!) meets the requirement for this Challenge.

Why 100 Caches when the average season is 90 days in length? Because it would be a shame to quit after 90 days and not be able to qualify for Finding other Challenge Caches that require 100 "consecutive" days of Caches if you do them on consecutive days. And, if you do 101 Consecutive Days, then you would also be able to seek the "Oregon's Century Plus One Challenge" [GC1KQZA] located just NorthEast of Harrisburg!
The D/T Rating for this Cache is based on the cumulative difficulty of Finding the required number of Caches and their D/T Ratings. This Cache is actually about a 2/2 D/T Rating.
This is a nice walk and offers good views in good weather and Blackberries in season!!
If you enjoyed this one, consider completing the requirements for and Finding "Spring! Spring!" [GC24WYZ] and then you will be about 1/2way to completing the requirements for "Days of the Year Challenge" [GC240VV]!!

The cache is on the "Little Prarie Loop' in the Cooper Mountain Nature Park trail system. Park at Park Headquarters.
