K13: Feet in Sand, Head in Clouds Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Trekkie79: The KCI Challenge Trail was placed over 10 years ago and It’s been a good run but with all the construction and changes to the area going on it’s time for these to go. Thanks to everyone who found them. I know some of the challenges challenged a few people, but hopefully it also brought some smiles as they remembered some of the great times they had caching. I have enjoyed reading the logs over of all the great adventures.

If you have already signed the log and not yet claimed the find feel free to claim the it once you complete the challenge.

Thanks for the memories
Trekkie

Geocache Description:

<<The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To find the true coords solve the simple puzzle below. This is a log only (BYOP).>>
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.  Fasten your GPSr strap, place your logging device in the full solving position and prepare for takeoff on the KCI Geocache Challenge Express once again.


The log can be signed prior to meeting the challenge requirements, but the challenge cannot be claimed as a find until all requirements are met.  Please report any container issues to the CO for repair.  Any signatures on unauthorized replacement containers will be deleted by the CO.  The average D/T rating for these caches is 1.5/1.5. The higher rating takes into consideration the requirements for meeting these challenges.  Please be aware of the approach of other incoming flights on your taxiway and pull safely to the side to avoid collisions. Have fun and thanks for flying KCI! 

And now for the challenge:  

Since we began caching we have traveled from coast to coast and the variety of scenery is spectacular. Along the way we cached below sea level and up into the mountains. The requirement to log this challenge is to find a cache within every 500 ft range from below sea level to 9000 ft. (There are a total of 19 caches that must be found to qualify)

Example: A cache must be found below sea level, another between the elevations of 0-500 feet above sea level, another between 501-1000 feet, 1001-1500 feet… all the way up to between 8500-9000 feet. Here is my summary from the macro ElevationRangeReport in GSAK. Thanks to "I Challenge You" cache GC1F8Z1 for the idea.
Also there is a Challenge Checker #19985 on Project-GC.

Final:
N -0.151
W +0.762
