Geocache Description:

This cache is located at the posted coordinates, but before you can claim it as a find, you must meet the challenge requirements.

We Chicago area geocachers have embraced the magic and challenge of the number seven. To meet this challenge you must have found seven (or more) cache types in each of the twelve months. The seven types do NOT need to have been found in the same year.

But sgauss, you say, I've found TEN different cache types in ONE day. This should be easy! It's barely more than a busy day!

That's what I thought, too, but I don't know any geocacher who has qualified for the Busy Day Challenge in all twelve months. Most cachers will have Traditional, Multicache, Unknown, and Events. After that, the next most common types are Letterbox, Virtual and Earthcache. After that, you're getting into rare cache types like WhereIGos, CITOs, Web Cams, and Mega Events. I'll also accept the obscure types like Groundspeak Headquarters, Project APE, etc. The only types I won't accept are benchmarks and waymarks.

So, to summarize the requirements:
1. You must have found seven different cache types in all twelve months of the year.
2. All cache types will be accepted, except for benchmarks and waymarks.
3. You must provide proof at the time you log.

Acceptable proof is a bookmark or gpx file showing all eighty-four (or more) cache finds, OR a screen shot of the output of the GSAK macro CacheTypesPerMonth macro.
