Geocache Description:

There are so many new challenge caches out there, that we decided to be a “monkey see, monkey do” and throw out our own challenge. It’s amazing what folks will do for a smilie.

This is the Lazy Cachers Challenge. We actually weren’t lazy and looked up some definitions of lazy. Lazy: Not willing to work or do any activity that requires effort. Words describing lazy: idle, indolent, shiftless, slothful…you get the picture.
This challenge is for the rare breed of cacher that looks for those hard to find 1/1 caches. They are few and far between. The higher your smilie number, the more difficult it is to find a 1/1. At least it’s hard to find a 1/1 close to home.

The requirements for completion of this challenge are simple.
1. You must find 10 caches.
2. The total number of points and difficulty of those caches added together must equal 20. No more-no less.
3. All 10 of your cache finds must be traditional caches. No virtual, Earth, multi, event, or unknown caches are allowed.
4. You must post your list of 1/1 finds along with their tracking numbers when you log your find. ( We have to make sure you really completed this challenge)
5. When you have completed the requirements for this challenge, it’s time to make your way to the posted coordinates and find the final cache. Ironically, it’s not a 1/1! But it’s close! We were too lazy to seek out a 1/1 hiding place. Sign the log there and you’re ready to log your find here! We promise you, the cache is at the posted coordinates. It’s in the end of the guardrail, don’t waste your time and energy looking anywhere else. If it’s not there, take a picture of yourself at the site for proof. We’ll replace any missing cache containers ASAP.

This is a tough one. But you can do it! All it takes is a little elbow grease, determination, and perhaps a full tank of gas. Now, get busy. Seek out those 1/1’s and go get em! There is a prize for the FTF, ( a cute little path tag) and special recognition will be given to the cachers that have traveled long distances to complete this challenge! Let us know how many miles you’ve traveled in search of the 1/1 caches.
We know it will not be easy for those cachers that consider a 1/1 not worth their time, but we love them, and it’s a rare treat when we can find one we’ve not already found! Perhaps after completion of this challenge some of you will place a few 1/1’s for us? We LOVE those E.G.G.’s (now that we know what EGG stands for), LPC’s, and the simple GR caches! Without these types of caches, most of us, whether we like to admit it or not, would not have half the smilies we have now! Go, add to your smilie count, and complete this challenge!
Congratulations to Digger 56! FTF on this awesome challenge! I checked your 1/1 finds, so far you have the record for distance traveled seeking that elusive 1/1 at 174.7 miles! (But this may change, since you're the only one to complete the challenge so far) lol With the price of gas these days, that smilie cost you a pretty penny! : )
