Geocache Description:

** NOTE: The cache is at the posted coordinates, but there are special logging requirements **

Trying to combine my two favorite past times!

Past finds do count .

As fantasy football is fast approaching, I was thinking about how I could combine my two favorite past times.  So, I came up with this challenge!  Feel free to team up with other cachers or challenge them to see who can score the most in a day.

In fantasy football, one often wins or looses their league based on drafting the right sleepers. 

For this challenge, I'm defining sleepers as those with either 1 cache hid (deep sleeper) and 2 to 3 caches hides (sleeper).  We're drafting sleepers because we're expecting big things in the future from them!  These numbers include active and archived. 

To log the smiley, on the same day, please find at least 10 sleepers and at last 5 of those have to be deep sleepers on the same day.


deep sleeper = 1 cache hid
sleeper = 2 or 3 caches hides.

WHEN posting, please post you final score (number of each type of sleepers) for the day AND providee an image or list out each cache and the number of "them", e.g. GCxxx1 = deep sleeper, GCxxx2 = sleeper, etc.

For example:
On 8/30/2012 I found 11 total sleepers - 6 deep sleepers and 5 sleepers (and attach an image of the caches GC numbers - or list them out).

As a slight twist, I added a leaderboard.  I will update it periodically.  Even after you've found the cache, if you want to post a note with a higher score, you might be able to move into the leaderboard. Or if you want to just post a new personal best!

Note: there could be a situation where a CO adds caches after you've made the find, so please include the date of your finds so I can verify that the new hides by that CO were AFTER the date you found them.

How many sleepers will you find in your draft??

Let the trash talking begin!
