Geocache Description:


So CZ, you ask, what is this cache all about, well let me start off by saying that this is a challenge cache and it's located at the posted coords. The challenge with this cache is that you have to find 100 waymarks and 25 of them have to be Canadianzombie waymarks.

What is a waymark you ask, well if geocaching is a treasure hunt, then it's cousin is a scavenger hunt called waymarking. On the Waymarking.com site, waymarking is defined as:

Waymarking is a way to mark unique locations on the planet and give them a voice. While GPS technology allows us to pinpoint any location on the planet, mark the location, and share it with others, Waymarking is the toolset for categorizing and adding unique information for that location. Groundspeak's slogan is "The Language of Location" and our goal is to give people the tools to help others share and discover unique and interesting locations on the planet. We invite you to share your part of the world with us through Waymarking.com.

In the past geocaching.com had categories like locationless caches, webcam caches and virtuals. Now they are bringing back virtuals and there are still a few webcam caches around, but the locationless caches are gone forever and this is kinda what waymarking is. If you go to the site and type in a city location or a postal code, you'll find a list of all the waymarks in your area and the requirements to get them.

Is it hard to do CZ, you ask? Well not at all, you just go to the waymark and take a picture (although for some, this is not even required) and tell of your visit in your log. I'm sure if you went back through your geocaching adventures, you'd have been to a ton of waymarks and not even known it. In fact a lot of waymarks are places that are around caches.

If you're anything like me, the challenge with you will be to fill your "grid" (as of this cache listing, I've got 180), there are 1018 categories in waymarking and as you get more unique catergories, you're grid fills up. I've attempted to place some unique category types in Brockville, so getting to 100 shouldn't be a problem and getting 25 Canadianzombie waymarks should even be easier.

So you're thinking of giving this waymarking thing a try, but are wondering how you prove to CZ that you've got 100 waymarks and that 25 of them are his. Well, like caches, I'll be notified of your visits to my waymarks and a link to your waymark tally will be good enough for me.

I would encourage everyone to even put out their own waymarks if you enjoy it, but this isn't an essential part of this challenge.

So what are you looking for after you've met and proved the requirements for this challenge cache. You're looking for a medium sized lock n' lock container, that is in a probably somewhat obvious (when you get there) location.

As with all Canadianzombie caches, the idea is to have fun and be safe and I'm adding a third, to try something NEW!!!

Cheers
CZ
