This cache has been archived.

Monkey_Chops: Having now lost five containers between this and the sister cache in this location, I am archiving both and will hopefully resurrect the challenges soon. Sorry to those working towards these caches.

Geocache Description:

This cache is one of a pair of very similar but completely opposing challenges. The 'sister-cache' to this one is GC4GDHE . Everyone will qualify for one if these two caches, but the real challenge is whether you can ever qualify to claim both of them? The idea being that on any given day, you can only qualify to find one of them, but by planning a nice long streak in the future, or a really good 'best day', you can than qualify for the other cache.


The cache is at the location given and no puzzle needs to be solved to obtain the final coordinates, however in order to qualify for logging the cache there is a challenge to complete.

Your 'Streak' must be greater than your 'Best Day'.

What this means is that you must have found caches on more consecutive days, than the number of caches you have found on your best day.  You should be able to verify this with your geocaching statistics, found either on geocaching.com or any other geostats website.  If this is something that you can prove that you have qualified for previously, via the posting of an image of your stats page, or of an appropriate screenshot of GSAK, or by directing me to where I would be able to easily see this information, then I will accept that too. Those of you who have completed things like the 365 day challenge will probably have no problem with this, but the sister-cache will be quite difficult! If you have got a very high streak, you may also qualify for another of my caches - GC48KKV

You may have already completed the challenge without trying, in which case, please go ahead and claim the find.

In order to qualify for finding this cache you must do the following:

1. Find a cache on more consecutive days than the number of caches you have found on your best day

2. Either have your statistics for your geostreak and your best day visible on your profile page so that I can verify that you have completed the challenge, or post a screenshot of your stats in your log if you don't have your stats visible to the public. Or indeed any other suitable method that you can think of for proving it!

I will delete logs of anyone claiming the find who has not met the conditions above.

The cache itself is an easy find along a path.  Please approach the cache from the path rather than stopping on the very busy nearby road.  I have given the D/T rating as 2/1.5 to match the potential difficulty of qualifying for finding the cache, but the challenge will be different for everyone! The cache itself is more like a 1/1.5 hide.

Since there are many possible locations for this cache, the hint should give a little extra assistance.

Congratulations to Vimmes for being the First To Find!

Congratulations to The Slaughter Family for being the first to successfully claim both of the challenges
