Mama Scrappy was out hiking with her Girl Scout troop after having a marble tournament. One of the girls ran off with the marbles while the rest of the troop kept hiking and the troop looked in 100 different places before they found her. The problem is that she LOST THE MARBLES! Your goal is to retrace the steps taken by the troop in an effort to find the marbles again. Your reward if you are the first to find the marbles is a shiny unregistered Compass Rose geocoin.
This means that this is a 100 cache challenge where you need to look for a cache and find one every day for 100 days. There is no need to keep a bookmarked list unless you want to do so, thanks to the new statistics features on the site. It is a requirement for 100 caches in a row to be found. If you log a find without that requirement met, it will be deleted. For those that are curious to whether we have done this or not, just look at our stats. We did this challenge last year courtesy of Can You Do The Streak? and now we bring this to you! We did this as an informal competition with family in Maryland and recommend taking up the challenge with another cacher to add to the fun!
As for the cache itself, it is a regular sized lock 'n lock container hidden well, full of guess what?. Just when you think the challenge ended when you found your 100th cache, you will need to think again. The hide for this final is a bit of a physical challenge but fun nonetheless. The difficulty and terrain ratings are accurate. We recommend you try it on a dry day for easiest access since there is a significant change in elevation getting to the cache.
Park in the lower parking lot by the Tuscan Inn on Wildwood Road. To find this cache follow the Crouse Run Trail, maintained by the Pine Creek Land Conservation Trust. Also, take the time to explore further down the trail and try out the rest of the caches along the trail. You will be amazed at all the great things you will see along the way!
