How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This cache is located in a small island of BLM land within the Eagle Crest Resort area.  There are bike/walking paths nearby.  If you come by geomobile, please park well off the pavement.  This cache is a camoed pill bottle.  Actual cache rating is 2/2

This cache IS at the posted coordinates but you must meet the following requirements to log the find.

The challenge is to find caches owned by 15 or fewer different geocachers who collectively have a Find count that equals or exceeds 250,000 Finds.
 


Early in the days of geocaching, it used to be that getting 1,000 finds was an amazing feat.  Now, due to cache inflation, that number is 10,000 and growing each year.  However, some cachers are remarkable in their dedication to this game and this cache is designed to recognize those superstar individuals you have encountered.  We came upon a similar cache in TX and received permission from the CO to build this cache.

Requirements:
  1. Past finds count.
  2. Each find must be from a different geocacher ID.
  3. For each cache you must list:  GC# - Title - Date Found - Cache Owner's name - CO's # of Finds
  4. To document this challenge requirement you can list your finds on a bookmark or list them in your log.
