The Challenge
This cache is intended to honor those caches in our state that have stood the test of time. There are currently 274 active caches in Colorado that were hidden in the year 2004. In order to log this cache you must find at least 55 Colorado caches from that year.
Sept 1, 2022 UPDATE: There are currently 182 active caches in Colorado that were hidden in the year 2004. In order to log this cache you must find at least 37 Colorado caches from that year.
The Rules
Only caches hidden in the state of Colorado in 2004 count.
All your finds count. If you have finds on caches that are now archived, you may include those. Those cachers who have been around long enough to have a significant number finds on those archived caches will probably qualify without them anyway.
There is a link to the Project GC checker below. I will use this checker to verify any finds.
Parking coordinates are included.
Access to this series of caches is off Rampart Range Road on roads 312 and 314. Road 312 is maintained like Rampart Range and passable in almost any car. Road 314 will require a high clearance vehicle but not 4WD if it is dry. My Subaru Outback did it with no problems and there are several wide spots to pull off or turn around. Road 314 eventually becomes one way westbound but not until after the parking area for the last cache in the series. If you don't have a high clearance vehicle then I recommend you park at the intersection of 312 and 314.

Please note: I will occasionally check the log. Any online logs that don't have a matching signature on the physical log will be deleted without prior notice. Please do not use "team" names to combine multiple caching names.
