This is what it's all about. Do you have what it takes to find all that this great sport has to offer?
There are a bunch of these challenges spread across the country, and the list keeps growing. I've finally duplicated and modified the concept and brought it to Calgary.
This cache is a challenge cache. The cache is at the listed coordinates, HOWEVER, to log the cache, you MUST be a well rounded cacher.
Rules
1. Find and log at least 1 cache in 85% or 69 of all of the 81 possible Difficulty / Terrain combinations. Below is a blank example of a matrix grid.

4. Of these 69 cache combinations you must include at least one of each of the following cache sizes:

Additional Requirements & Rules
...more like 'guidelines' actually...
The most important guideline is to HAVE FUN!. Beyond that please keep the following requirements in mind:
- There is NO cut-off date for caches hidden with this challenge cache.
- Don't use a cache with a recent rating change or a history of changed ratings. Any "suspect" entries may be evaluated.
- Don't use a cache you own or maintain.
- Don't use a known "liar's cache" - everyone will know it and you're just cheating yourself.
- You must sign the logs of the caches you use in your grid (of course).
- This cache does not count toward satisfying ANY of the challenge cache requirements.
The road allowance looks like you can drive on it, and you may be able to with a high clearance vehicle, but we really recommend parking at the parking coordinates and walking.
