Geocache Description:

The cache IS at the posted coordinates. This is a challenge cache! As always, if challenges aren't your thing, this ain't for you!!


The Challenge

Find and log a cache no one has found for more than a calendar year, making repairs if necessary. It can be any cache you'd like, in any state, and any difficulty/terrain combination--but you cannot use any caches you've already found. The time for which a cache has been disabled does not count towards the time needed for this challenge (only considering active time). If possible, please include a picture of that cache's log with your log here; make sure it shows the last log's date and your date below it.

How do you target lonely caches? Download a pocket query for an area and use GSAK to sort the caches by the date a cache was last found. If you are not a premium member or do not use GSAK, you may have to consider caches one-by-one. Typically, lonely caches are older caches either located in the countryside or are more challenging puzzles or multis.

CONGRATS TO SUJOJEEPERS ON THE FTF!! :)
