Geocache Description:

I am reactivating my challenge caches, but if the incorrect logging continues I will be forced to archive them.

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY

  • If you log a find without following the logging requirements on the cache page your log will be permanently deleted.
  • If you log a find without meeting the qualifications for the challenge your log will be deleted, but you may relog it whenever you do qualify.
  • NOTE: Referencing Project GC as proof that you qualify DOES NOT meet the logging requirements for any of these caches. Project GC is not always right, and they have a disclaimer on their page stating that.

This is part of a series of challenge caches which are all about non-traditional cache types.  Some will be easy, and designed to introduce new cachers to these other cache types.  Others will be difficult for even the most experienced cachers.  Most will fall somewhere between these extremes.  Anybody may log any of the challenges, and may use new or old finds to qualify.  The only requirement is that you meet the challenge shown below.  The actual hides will be easy, the difficulty rating reflects the difficulty of the challenge. The terrain rating is for the actual hide.

This is challenge number 52 in this series.  This one is probably one of the easiest caches in the series.  Please read the requirements carefully to be sure you qualify.

You may sign the log at any time, but you can only log the cache after you meet the requirements below.

To prove that you meet the requirements include a list in your log showing the qualifying cache.  Your list must include the date you found the cache and the GC number, cache name, cache type and the date you found your qualifying cache (or the date your qualifying cache was placed. Only one cache is required.

This is a very high muggle area.  Please be careful when you get this cache.

 

REQUIREMENTS:

This is an easy one.  There are several ways you can qualify for this challenge.  NOTE: This cache can count toward your qualifying list.  Good luck!!

  1. Find and log at least 1 non-traditional cache on December 25 of any year.    ---OR---
  2. Find and log at least 1 non-traditional cache that was placed on December 25 of any year.   ---OR---
