Geocache Description:

The cache IS at the above coordinates.
However, you must complete one of the challenges listed below to log the find.

Note: The description below is the NEW CHALLENGE! More caches have been added thus increasing the difficulty of the challenge. Finders of the old challenge, can complete the new challenge and log a second find if they sign the logbook again. Cachers still seeking to complete the old challenge will have to add more caches to their list.

Previous finders are on honor code to sign the logbook again. If you see someone who has claimed the cache without signing the logbook, please let us know. Your name will remain anonymous. I don't reward cheaters!

In the years 2007, 2010, and recently in 2012, several caches in Hampton Roads have won Hidey Awards. Your job is to find some of those caches following one of the challenges below. Sounds easy, right? Not exactly. Two of the options require you to find a certain amount in each category, and another requires one very busy day. Every time a Hidey Award ceremony goes on, more caches will be added and the challenges will be adjusted accordingly. So you better get started soon before the next Hidey Awards ceremony in 2014. By the way, this cache is not eligible for a Hidey Award.

There are 3 ways to find this cache:
Option 1A: For cachers with more than 1,000 finds, and live in the HR area. Find 45 active Hidey Award winners with at least 8 gold winners following the requirements next to each category. (Past finds and ownership counts.) Caches in more than 1 category can count for all categories applicable, but you must find 45 to complete the challenge.
Option 1B: You must have less than 1,000 finds or from out of the area / new to the area* to be eligible for this challenge. Find 35 active Hidey Award winners with at least 5 gold winners following the requirements for each category below. (Past finds & ownership counts.) Caches in more than one category can count for every category applicable, but you must have 35 finds to complete the challenge.
Option 2: Find a cache in 10 different categories in one day with at least 2 gold winners. (Ownership and past finds do NOT count). Caches that fit in more than one category can only be counted for 1 category.
Option 3: Find 10 gold winners in one day. (All caches in HR Hall of Fame, Cache of the Year, and TICK are considered gold winners. Ownership and past finds do NOT count.)

*You are considered new to the area if you moved here after 1/1/12.
**In order to claim a series, you must find 2 caches in that series. A series only counts a one of the 45 or 35 caches for option 1A or B.
