In December of 2010 geocaching.com added a "Favorites" feature. "Geocaching Favorites is a simple way to track and share the caches that you've enjoyed the most." This challenge motivates you to get out and find caches that other people have enjoyed and that hopefully you will too!


To find the current list of Top Favorites do an Advanced Search for All Cache Types in Oregon and then click on the favorite icon to sort by the most favorites at top [or you can just click here.]


In order to claim a find on this geocache, you must have found 10 [or more] of the top 20 on the current day you log a smiley on the cache page. The top 20 are always changing, so keep an eye on things!


VERIFICATION: Please send me, or post to your log, a screen shot of the top 20 caches in Oregon (or 21+ if there is a tie and you have found one of those). If you have trouble taking a screen shot, please let me know and I can help you or click here.

TIES: If multiple caches are tied for the last spot, any of those caches would count as one of your 10. Ties within the list do not count.

PRESIGNS: Pre-signatures are allowed, but you must have found 6 or more of the top 20 caches at the time you visit the cache. Otherwise, you will have to find this container again. Please post a screen shot of your progress and write a note on the cache page.

OTHER RULES:

  • If you own a top 20 favorites cache, this cache does not count [the point is to go out and find cool caches! But thank you for hiding a cool cache!]
  • All caches you've found count, they don't have to be found after a certain date.
  • Only active caches on the date of your smiley count, they must show up in your search. Temporarily disabled caches count, but archived caches do not.

Note: I reserve the right to delete any logs from the cache page if I discover you did not meet the requirements (but I hope I don't have to).

When you post your find, you must include a screen capture of the top 20 favorites showing your finds using link provided on this page only. Feel free to mention your favorites of the favorites in your log.

The box is right where these coords say it is. Please rehide well.

Congratulations to elkjim for FTF
