Please note the cache IS at the posted coordinates. BUT, you must read and follow all the requirements to log this challenge cache!
Failure to follow the listed rules WILL result in your log being deleted.
In order to log this cache as a find, you must first find (or have found) a cache that was hidden on the same date as your geo-birthday. What is your geo-birthday? It is the exact date you created your geocaching.com account.
To find that information, go to your My Profile page. On myprofile page it shows the following line:
Member Since: 12/10/2006
This would mean that to qualify I would need to find and log a cache that was hidden on Sunday, December 10, 2006, if I haven't done so already. Archived past finds count!
This information can be found on any cache page directly under the cache name. You can also look on your "my finds" page and see this info posted under the "placed on" column.
The rules:
1. Any previously found cache can count.
2. All types of caches qualify except events.
3. If the cache has since been archived, it DOES still count.
4. These must be caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally (physically) found and logged. (General rules, guidelines and conditions, as stated by Geocaching.com, for logging a cache find apply.)
5. Finds without the proper verification/documentation WILL be deleted.
SPECIAL GEO-OLD FART EXEMPTION: If you joined geocaching.com on or before December 31, 2004, you may use a cache placed on your first to sixth geo-anniversary (exactly +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, or +6 years), to ensure you find a qualifying cache.
***To claim a find on this cache, include in your found log entry the GC code and name of your qualifying cache, the date you found it and your geo-birthday.***
Container is a large lock n lock full of colorful birthday goodies. It is not meant to be difficult to find. So bring along a slice (or two!) of geo-birthday cake and enjoy your accomplishments. There's plenty of seating, it's rather quiet and nobody will crash your geo-birthday party.
Cache is just off the trail connecting Bliven and JB Hudson. No need to leave the trail until the last 200' or so. Parking is available at the Bliven trailhead, JB Hudson trailhead, Breakheart Pond or Frosty Hollow pond.
As always, be sure to wear blaze orange (the color of birthday candle flames? Yeah, go with it.) during hunting season.
