THE FINE PRINT
  • No adopted caches - Must be the original cache placer's hide only. Neither the original placer nor the adopter can be counted on an adopted cache.
  • No temporary cache finds allowed. Only actual event or CITO attendance is acceptable to claim the event category.
  • No finding your own caches.
  • The "real" cache placer's name is the only one that counts, not aliases.
  • Note that the difficulty rating of 4.0 and terrain of 3.5 is based upon having to find 30 other caches first.
