Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES.

YOU MUST COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE TO LOG THIS CACHE AS "FOUND".

Welcome to the Utah Popularity Challenge. It’s pretty clear that many of us enjoy the hunt for being the coveted first to find. It can provide a sense of accomplishment to find older caches that have been "lonely", having not been found very often. It’s also pretty cool to find caches that have been around for a while and have been visited, in some cases, hundreds of times. A cache like this could be described as being “popular”.

JAC0B, being the first to post a note on this cache, brings up a very good point. The original requirement was to find 10 caches that had been found at least 300 times, "at the time that you logged them as a find." For current and future finds. that's not a problem; but for past finds, that could be a real headache to research. A headache that I had not intended to inflict on you. So...

Your quest is to find 10 caches that have been found at least 300 times. Whether these are new finds or old finds, the 10 qualifying caches need to have been found at least 300 times AT THE TIME YOU LOG THIS CHALLENGE. There is no need to go back in your database to determine that you were the 354th cacher to find a specific cache. (My apologies to those who did this to qualify) No matter when you found it, if it currently has been found over 300 times, it qualifies.

Any cache location, type, size, difficulty, or terrain will qualify for this Challenge. Hides do not count as finds. Caches do not have to be in Utah to qualify. DNFs, notes, and other logs do not count towards the 300 – only finds count. It's the smileys we're looking for.

Please list your qualifying caches with the GC Code, Cache Name, the date you found it, and the total number of finds on each cache. For example:

GCXXX - I'm Too Sexy For My Cache - 10-10-10 - 329

I look forward to seeing which cache has the most finds – the most popular cache! I think it would also be interesting to see which cache is the youngest popular cache that qualifies for this challenge.

This cache will require a writing stick and stealth.

Please place back exactly how you found it.

Please let me know if this cache needs attention.

Happy caching!
