I'm kinda maybe an elevation junkie...Are you?
This challenge will make you get out of the state of Missouri! Since the highest point in Missouri is at 1,776 and the lowest point in Missouri is 241 feet, so that is only going to give you a little over 1,500 feet and still short of the goal of 2,000 feet for this challenge. The D/T is for the challenge, the cache is probably a 1.5/2. Rules for the challenge
1. You can use previous found caches before the placement day of 2/27/2013.
2. You must have an elevation change of at least 2,000 feet between the two caches.
3. No restrictions on the cache types that you decided to use for this challenge. (traditional, puzzle, multi, letterbox, virtual, earthcache, and etc.) If you are using a cache that is not located at the listed coordinates, the listed cords at the start will determine the elevation.
4. You are not limited to two caches for the day that you choose. But your lowest cache must 2,000 feet below your highest cache on the day.
5. There are three ways you can complete this challenge. By hiking, driving, or the combination of both of them.
6. You need to include the date, the two GC#'s, the elevation, the difference between the two, and how you picked how to complete this challenge.
7. There are 4 FTF's available for this cache. 1 for each way possible (hike, drive, or hike/drive), and 1 FTF for the person that is able to complete all three first.
8. To claim the FTF for all three, you can do it in one day, but all the caches must be different so it would be a total 6 caches in order to complete all three.
9. You can signed the log before completely the challenge after the FTF's have been claimed. Logging this cache without meeting the requirements, means your log will get deleted.
10. To prove that you meet the requirements you can use gsak or google earth. I check to see if you meet the requirements with google earth.
I know this challenge is possible...because i have done it! See below.
