Geocache Description:

The cache is at the posted coordinates, but you must meet the challenge requirements before you can log it as found. You may sign anytime but cannot claim the smiley until you meet the requirements.

In 2010, Groundspeak added a new set of icons called Souvenirs that you can earn for finding caches in certain places. Some souvenirs are awarded for finding a specific cache like The Lilly Pad at Groundspeak HQ, while others have been awarded for finding caches in all U.S. states, or in some other countries, like Canada and Germany. Others have been awarded for special and unique caches like the Original Cache Location here in our neck of the woods. For an explanation of what a souvenir is, you can click on the related web page for more information.

This Challenge cache is designed to reward those who have earned at least 25 souvenirs.

To make the grab, all you have to do is collect 25 souvenirs on your account and then you can claim your smiley. Any souvenirs, any time, any place. There is no need to post a bookmark list, or show them in your log. I got the idea for this cache while I was at the Groundspeak Block Party last year, from the "Been There, Done That, Got the T-Shirt Challenge" (GC30P0R), and I want to acknowledge them for getting my creative juices flowing. (In fact, I shamelessly copied their idea of listening to the related web page while submitting your log. Neat idea....)

Cache container is one that is familiar to all cachers, in a location that is familiar to all cachers. It is log only, so bring the writing instrument of your choice, and please, initials only. Should not be too much of a geo-muggle problem here, but please use the appropriate stealth, and replace as found.
