Cache IS at the posted coordinates. However...
Once again I've been looking at other challenge caches and found another interesting one in New Hampshire (GC31ZCF). So I sent an email to the owner (twilighter) asking if I may copy it and if I can have people use his qualification confirmation program. Their response: "OK with us." Their only request is that it I make it in a nice place to bring people to. No problem...we have lots of nice places here in Rochester!
Here are the requirements you must meet before you can log this cache as a find. You must sign the log (which you can do at any time) AND find at least one cache that was PLACED on every single day from January 1 through December 31. Including February 29th. Any finds logged by cachers with less than that will be deleted.
The rules are simple:
- It doesn't matter what year the cache was placed... only the month and day.
- Previous finds DO count. (even disabled and archived caches)
- Finds of your own caches DO NOT count.
- When logging your find, take a screenshot of your completed grid (see below) and attach the image to your log. Or present a comparable list, such as a bookmark or GC#/date list, in your log.
The Grid: twilighter created the Placed Date Calendar Challenge Calculator which we can use as well. How awesome is that!! Follow the instructions on that page. There's even some interesting New Hampshire-based links available from there. I think you'll be surprised how many placed dates you do have! At the time of this publication I have around 1500 finds and 350 placed dates!
NOTE: If you choose a method other than the listed grid be sure all the rules above are met. For example, GSAK has a similar method but it includes Events, which are excluded for this challenge.
HELPFUL INFO: There's a GSAK macro that can be used to help you search for caches that may be used to fill in your missing dates (thanks to Team GeoGriffin for pointing this out): PlacedDatesNotFound.gsk
7/2/2017 Update: The project-gc.com website can also be used to get a list of caches that would help you qualify for this challenge or to confirm that you do qualify. Go to Tools => Map Hidden Date, enter in your profile name and location info. You'll either get a list of caches that were placed on the dates that you need to complete your grid OR a message indicating that you are not missing any hidden dates (which means you qualify!).
Congratulations hjathome for FTF!
