Geocache Description:








Welcome to Longleaf Pine Preserve! You will be searching for an ammo can with some swag and a log book.


No, there isn't an echo in here. There's a reason why the word Century is in the cache name three times, continue reading to learn why...

You must find one hundred, or more,

of three different cache types before

logging a find for this cache!






The Rules and Regulations:
- There is NO date restriction for this Challenge! You may already qualify!
- There is NO geographic restriction for this Challenge. Finds in ANY state/country will be accepted.
- You'll need to find/log at least 300 finds to qualify. 100 each of at least 3 different cache types (e.g. 100 Traditional, 100 Multi-cache, 100 Unknown)...which types are your choice.
- The following cache types are allowed for this Challenge: Traditional, Multi-cache, Unknown/Mystery, Letterbox Hybrid, Earthcache, Virtual, Webcam, Wherigo, Event, Mega Event and CITO.
- This Challenge is open to everyone regardless of your home state/country.
- No hides will count, only finds.
- You must complete the Challenge before finding this cache.
- The officially recognized FTF of this Challenge cache is the cacher who completes the challenge, finds this cache and signs the log first.


If you haven't yet qualified, feel free to visit the cache, pick up or drop off trackables, and post a note for your visit. But in order to log a find you must visit the cache and sign the log AFTER you have fulfilled the challenge requirements.


This hide was prompted after completing both Mystery/Puzzle: Challenge of the Century (GC1QABC) and Multi: Challenge of the Century (GC1QABA) caches on a recent trip to Nevada. I decided that I would like to own a Century Challenge cache but couldn't decide which type(s) I should hide...so I decided to up the ante by hiding one cache requiring multiple centuries to qualify. Since there are so many power trails turning up all over the state and country, finding 100 Traditional caches should be the easy part. The real challenge is going to be finding 2 other cache types for which you can log 100 finds.


Please use the suggested parking coordinates and follow the Red/Blue trail until you're within 500 feet of the cache location, then follow a wide trail to within 50 feet of the cache before beginning your short/easy bushwhack to the cache. Should be an easy find, but I rated it 2 Difficulty due to the Challenge requirements and 3 Terrain due to the distance from parking. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail.


NOTE: The cache is at the published coordinates!


There is a FTF $ prize in the logbook!
