Geocache Description:

No caches on the Channel Islands? The cache is at the coordinates, and a relatively easy find, assuming you've met the REQUIREMENTS (see below). On the hike, be wary of ticks

This is dedicated for TOHiker, who set up some of the previous challenge caches and is about to leave for the the Channel Islands to do some volunteer work. This is one that he qualifies for before going to the cache-less Channel Islands National Park .
From this spot, you can probably see the Channel Islands on a clear day!

GetA/SetA #3 - following in the long gsmx2/OVC tradition, I'm setting this cache as a cache for the FTF I got on Deer in the Headlights cache on leap day, to create a FTF opportunity for another cacher (hmmm).

This cache in the CSU Channel Islands Park (formerly Camarillo Regional Park) area, and is more than a mile and a half from the nearest parking, outside the gate if it is closed, less if you park at the RC field. The cache is a camo'd plastic container, located on an ascending trail, on the way to a saddle.

To help you stay out of the brush (and avoid a bunch of ticks) some waypoints are provided to help you stay on the trail. [I didn't follow the trail, ended up in the brush, and covered with ticks ]

Unregistered trackable for FTF, and a gold dollar coin for STF (or vice versa).

Requirements
I 'borrowed' some of the words for this from TOHiker (thanks, Jerry), who has hid the 50 days, 75 days and 100 days of caching challenge caches (all premium caches), and was the inspiration for this .

Consider this cache to be the slightly bigger brother to GC3B3A2, "100 Days of Caching Challenge". This is a typical cache, but with a special challenge. The challenge is that you must log a cache a day for *one hundred eleven consecutive days* prior to claiming this cache. This is not particularly difficult, but will require dedication and persistence (obsessiveness?). There is no time frame requirement for accomplishing the one hundred and eleven cache finds. That is, if you have ever had a stretch of cache finds for *one hundred and eleven consecutive days* in your caching career, you are eligible. Please post a snippet of your geocaching.com statistics page to verify you have accomplished the required number of consecutive finds. I have rated the cache at difficulty level 4 due to the preparation required to meet the challenge, not the hide (which is between 1-1/2 and 2).

Park is open from sunrise to sunset. The gate is usually open on the weekends, but read the stipulations in the Flood Control cache description.

The current caching streak challenges in Ventura County/Western LA County are:
25 days: Reach a Highpoint- 25 Days of GeoCaching Challengeby zdonb
50 days: 50 Days of Caching Challenge by TOHiker
75 days: 75 Days of Caching Challenge by TOHiker
100 days: 100 Days of Caching Challenge by TOHiker

Happy Caching! A cache a day keeps the doctor away

Feedback is always appreciated on the difficulty/terrain ratings, cache descriptions, etc - thanks.

*****Congratulations to TOHiker for FTF *****
