Geocache Description:

Cache IS at the posted coordinates, but you MUST fulfill the requirements in order to log a find on this cache!

Long, long ago, in the early days of geocaching, it used to be that getting 1,000 finds was an amazing feat. Now, due to basic inflation, that number is 10,000. And there are some cachers who make even that number seem almost nominal.

To complete this challenge you need to find caches owned by 25 or fewer geochers who collectively have a find count that equals or exceeds 250,000 finds.

Simple rules:

1. Past finds count, and can be from any location.

2. Each find must be from a different geocacher ID - the same ID may not be used more than once.

3. For the cacher's number of finds, you can use the number as-of the day you log your Found It on their cache or as-of the day you log your Found It on this challenge cache. Whichever is easier for you to keep track of.

4. You must list your qualifying finds somehow so we can see you completed the challenge. You can list them here, do it in a bookmark, or use a GSAK screenshot, whatever. But your list or bookmark needs to have the following information:

GC / Title / Date Found / Cacher / Cacher's Number of Finds

5. You can even sign the log for this challenge at any time and log a 'note' to the cache page, mentioning you signed the log. But you may not log a find until you have completed the requirements (this way you don't have to go back to sign after you complete the requirements!). Once you complete the requirements, edit your log, change it to found, and change the find date to the date you completed the requirements.

Remember, 25 finds (maximum) to meet this challenge.
