Geocache Description:

Another challenge cache along the OCCT.

Geocachers are supposed to be stealthy and not draw a lot of undue attention when finding and logging caches.  However, if you do this hobby long enough, you will be spotted by a local muggle--if you are lucky they just ask what you are doing, and if not, you have an encounter with the local law enforcement. 

This challenge involves being spied upon in the act of geocaching--but not the bad kind of spying that can end up with and ID check or jail time.  This kind of spying is actually done be other geocachers that want to know when a cache is logged and by whom.  Most folks have caches that they are keeping tabs on for a couple of reasons.  I will watch a cache, such as Amber's Revenge II (GCHRB3), because it is a memorable cache and the stories in peoples logs are enjoyable to read.  Turns out that there are 15 other people right now watching that cache.  I will also watch a cache because I may be working on a puzzle and don't have it solved quite yet--perhaps a clue will be inadvertantly dropped in a finders log?

So what are the requirements for this challenge?  Simply log a 'found it' on 10 geocaches, AND satisfy these additional requirements:
1.  Each cache on your list must have a minimum of 15 people watching the cache. 
2.  Five different types of caches need to be logged (traditional, multi, puzzle, letterbox, virtual, earthcache, etc.).
3.  One of the caches must have a minimum of 100 people watching it.

For proof, just include in your log a list of cache IDs, names, cache icon type, and number currently watching the cache.  If you qualify, just post a note with the info so I can verify it, no need to wait until when you physically log the cache.  Sorry, but I don't know any GSAK macro to do this. It just requires some sleuthing on your part.
