Geocache Description:

How Many BM's in a Day? Challenge

Welcome to the SoCal Challenge Alley.
Check for other challenge caches in the area.
This cache is at the listed coordinates.

This is a challenge cache, to log this cache you must first complete the Challenge. I will be checking each log to verify if in fact the individual meets the requirements when they log this cache as found.
 


Here are the "How Many BM's in a Day? Challenge" rules:
1.You must have logged 25 or more Benchmark finds in a calendar Day.
2.You must find and log this cache.
3. You must include in your log the day you found 25 or more BM's.
Some geocachers might not be aware of "Bench Marks"  More info here: http://www.geocaching.com/mark/default.aspx
 I found 3-4 over the course of my 3 years geocaching.  My interest was sparked by Active-Fires nearby "The Benchmark Challenge", GC328E1, my geo-buddy Supercheeseburger's interest, plus I anticipated a 3 month recovery from recent shoulder surgery so I thought I could take it easy with urban Bench Marks!
  If you look up the hill towards Active-Fires Challenge, you can see the unused/forgotten roads which I took to hide mine. I found an undocumented Disk at the coords I listed. Bench Marks are listed in the geocaching.com data base with ??????, plus the disk itself will have a "Designation" name/number,  this Micro Disks Designation is XX.
The Difficulty is 5 not only for the 25 BM's in 1 day but the hide as well.
