Geocache Description:

This cache *IS* located at the posted coordinates.  Please *NOTE* that it is a challenge cache;  please read the description below before logging your 'Found It' log.


This is a challenge cache that celebrates the Icon Junkie in all of us.  cool

Everyone has their favorite type of cache .... What is yours?

This is a simple challenge to meet because all you have to do is what you love to do - CACHE! Once one of your non-traditional cache totals or a combination of ANY non-traditional cache types added together has a total that is at least 10% of your traditional number of finds, you can log this cache as FOUND!

It's really simple to check to see your totals .... From the Quick View page, click the 'Your Public Profile' link on the left-hand side of the page. Then, click the 'Geocaches' tab. You will see a display of the different types of geocaches you have found. On the day this cache was hidden, you can see all the different types of caches that the SeeKPeeKRs have found!

As you can see, the SeeKPeeKRs total number of traditional finds when this cache listing was written was 4,067.  599 of those 4,067 finds are Unknown/Mystery cache finds.  That's 14.7% of the total of traditional finds by the SeeKPeeKRs.  smiley
Or, if the SeeKPeeKRs didn't tag along with other cachers who loved to find puzzle caches - we love multi-caches, virtuals, and letterbox hybrids - then we could add together our total number of finds for those types (240+174+44=458) which is 11.2% of our traditional finds. smiley

The SeeKPeeKRs can log this challenge cache and earn the smiley!

If you find this before you have met the 10% challenge, that's cool.  Just log a note; when you meet the 10% challenge, you can change your note to a smiley log.  It's that easy!

A HUGE thanks to awesnap for rescuing this cache from beyond the fence which was a recent addition (as of October 2015) to the backside of the park. You are a lifesaver!

This cache is located in Hallowing Point Park along Rt. 231 in Calvert County, MD. The park, along with some geocaching, has a lot to offer; take a look at the park map.

The park's hours change depending on the season; please plan accordingly.
Mid-March to Mid-November:
8:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Winter Hours:
8:00 a.m. to 3:50 p.m.

Happy huntin'!

One last note: with snow on the ground, this one will be a more challenging find.
