Geocache Description:

This challenge was inspired by the Fizzy challenges. A Fizzy challenge requires you to find all of the combinations of the difficulty/terrain grid and all of the possible cache types. A Fizzy challenge is excellent, but very difficult to complete, and is a high-level challenge for experienced geocachers.

The Folboter Challenge was created as a similar but mid-level challenge for up-and-coming geocachers. For this challenge you must find caches that fall into all of the possible categories for caches. Specifically, you must find caches satisfying each of the following:
     1. each difficulty level: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5
     2. each terrain level: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5
     3. each cache type: traditional, multi-cache, letterbox, mystery/unknown, earthcache, virtual, webcam (or wherigo), event, and CITO;
     4. each cache size: micro, small, regular/medium, large, virtual, other, and not listed


Notes:
     a. This cache may not count towards the challenge requirements.
     b. While you must find a cache of each difficulty level and each terrain level, you do not need to find a cache for each combination of levels.
     c. A cache find may count for more than one category.
     d. Finds made prior to the publication of this cache DO count.


Please confirm that you have met the conditions of this challenge in one of three ways:
     I. create a public bookmark of your qualifying cache finds (including which categories each find satisfies)
     II. list your qualifying cache finds in a log for this cache (including which categories each find satisfies)
     III. e-mail me your list of qualifying cache finds (including which categories each find satisfies)


The cache IS hidden at the given coordinates, but please do not log a find until you have completed the requirements. Failure to have completed the requirements (and given confirmation of their completion) will result in your log being deleted (and I really don't want to have to do that).

A note about the cache hide: as with most of my mystery/puzzle caches, the puzzle (or in this case the challenge) is the difficult part; the hide should be easy to find (i.e., the difficulty and terrain of the cache represent your toils while completing the requirements; the actual cache hide is a 1.5/3.5). Enjoy your hike back to the cache through this beautiful woods.

Good luck, happy searching, and have fun!
