Geocache Description:

Cache is at posted coordinates, however you'll need to meet the challenge requirements in order to sign the log. Previous finds are acceptable, so you may already have everything you need!

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time of course!

Recently we noticed that we'd never found a cache day for more than a few days in a row. We challenged ourselves to find a cache every day for a month, but it seemed like an impossible task. This brought up an interesting question...Exactly how long is a month? Well, if there are 365 days in a year divided by 12 months it makes it 30.42 days per month. Oops, what about leap year? The extra quarter day per year bumps it up to 30.44 days per month. Does that mean we had to find a cache in the final .44 days for our last cache? We'd have to find one before 10:33 am and 36 seconds on the final day of the month? That seems silly so why not just round it up to 31 days? Everyone knows a month is 31 days! Of course, that makes a year 372 days, but who's counting? So, after 31 days of planning and finding a cache we completed our challenge. Now it's your turn to eat the elephant!

To log this cache you must have found a cache every day for 31 consecutive days. Only physical logs count, so events and virtuals do not. As mentioned before, previous streaks count so you may have already met the requirements. This cache cannot count as your 31st day. There are no requirements for your log as it is easy to check statistics. Have fun and post details about any memorable events during the streak.
