Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS AT THE LISTED COORDS.

The objective of this challenge is to find a cache in each 5-mile interval from your home coordinates up to a distance of 500 miles.

That's 100 caches, one each in the following distance intervals (miles):

0.00 - 4.99

5.00 - 9.99

...etc, etc, etc...

490.00 - 494.99

495.00 - 499.99

Find a cache in each five mile interval from your home coordinates up to a distance of 500 miles. You can make a bookmark of your caches, email me your caches or post a log with your caches. The experts in the GSAK forums have created a macro that will query your all finds PQ, and produce a table that shows your progress on this challenge. I will accept this as documentation also.

All cache types count as finds with the exception of events (CITO included) and locationless caches. For the purposes of this challenge, the coordinates listed on the cache page will determine which distance interval puzzle and multi caches are located in, and not the coordinates of the actual physical cache. The boundary of each distance interval in the challenge is determined the by distance from your home coordinates as determined by the GC.com website, or other Geocaching utilities such as GSAK.
