Geocache Description:

Growing Well-Rounded Cachers, Challenge Level 1, Step 4

The cache IS hidden at the designated coordinates


Early in 2013 I recorded my 1000th cache find, and felt I needed to do something special to give back. A simple cache seemed inadequate, so I have come up with a three tiered series of challenges designed to encourage new cachers to get more involved, and to give the veteran cachers a smile or two (I hope). Each challenge gets a bit harder, and you will need the clues of the first tier to solve the second, and those of the second tier to solve the third.

This is the fourth of the challenges, and by far the hardest one to date. Before you can claim this cache, you must have  logged 10 consecutive days whereby you have found a Mystery cache (?) NOTE: This cache cannot be the 10th day in your streak, and you must put in your log the ten days that you accompished your streak. . I expect this might prove a bit of a challenge even for the veterans, but it is eminently doable (I managed it in 2013), and there are a LOT of mystery caches in the area - including the first three in this series. In fact, about the time of this cache being placed there were 295 mystery caches within 20 kilometres of this cache. cool This is part of the "well-rounded cacher" described in the title. Note that you are allowed to find as many other caches as you want during your streak, but each day must have at least 1 Mystery Cache find. You MUST include the days of your streak in your log, so that I can check the Statistics tab on your caching profile to ensure you have met the requirements of this challenge, or post a screen-shot showing your streak. Anyone logging this without meeting the requirements will have their log removed.

Once you have done your 10 day streak of mystery caches, you then have to sort out where to go to get to this cache, and how to overcome the entrance obstacle (public land, but not easily accessed). Once you've accessed the correct path, your next task is to figure out the best approach to GZ.

If you get this far, congratulations! You are certainly not a novice anymore. Welcome to the club, and you are now ready for stage 2!
