2 Difficult 4 U Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

-Tiki-: Greetings,

While Geocaching.com would like to continue to hold the location for you, doing so blocks other cachers from placing caches in the area. We feel that this cache has been disabled for a period of time exceeding what is reasonable for the area, and thus I regretfully must archive it.

If you are able to get out and quickly replace the cache, simply drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. I will be more than happy to take a look at it to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

Thank you,

-Tiki-

Geocache Description:

This cache IS at the posted coordinates, but in order to log the find, you MUST (i) have at least 100 finds and (ii) have an average Difficulty Rating of 2.0 or higher as of the date of the log.

You MUST post a screen shot of your "Difficulty and Terrain of Caches I've Found" box (under your Statistics tab) with your log:


CONGRATS TO KEENAN CREW & KRAZY KIDS ON FTF (IN A LITTLE LESS THAN A MONTH)!!!! VERY NICELY DONE!

Alternative Logging Method for Finders w/ 1000+ Finds

In recognition of the difficulty associated with attempting to qualify for this cache by cachers with high find counts, you may also log this cache if (i) you have at least 1000 finds, and (ii) the average Difficulty Rating on the 500 finds immediately preceding the date of your log is 2.0 or greater.

For verification purposes, in order to qualify under this alternative method, you must do both of the following:
(i) Post a Note on the cache page attaching a screen shot of your "Difficulty and Terrain of Caches I've Found" box (as depicted above) current through the date of the first find in the set of 500 you intend to use to qualify.
(ii) Post a screen shot of your "Difficulty and Terrain of Caches I've Found" box (as depicted above) current through the date of your log with your "Found It" log.

A few words about the D/T ratings of this cache.

For symmetry's sake, this cache is rated D2 even though I fully recognize that it is extremely difficult to get one's difficulty average above 2.0 (older cachers will have a difficult time finding enough high-difficulty caches to move their average; newer cachers will have a difficult time actually making the finds on D2+ caches; a bit of a paradox). In fact, as of the publishing of this cache, the only area cacher I know who can properly log it is...well...me. So, yes, I recognize that this cache will rarely be found and that it may take quite some time for FTF.

The Terrain rating (and consequent hiding spot) was selected as an inducement to those trying to complete their Fizzy Challenge. I looked around, and it appears that there weren't many D2/T4.5 caches around, so I thought this would be a good one. Note that the Terrain is, indeed, a 4.5, so come prepared, but the Difficulty of the hide is (in itself, anyway) a 2.

I set up this cache, in part, as a shout out to AntwanNix and Arkshob to thank them for placing such challenging caches in the area lately (if you want to find some fun caches that will help you complete this one, go find theirs) and to give them a little extra incentive to go out and find some caches as challenging as the ones they're placing! Nice job, guys!

Finally, the FTF prize is GMAF's FTF Micro Geocoin which is designed and intended to be placed in a new cache as a FTF prize by its finder.

Non-compliant logs will be deleted immediately without notice.

Good Luck and Happy Caching!!!
