C09: Challenge of the 7's Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

debrajean: The KCI Challenge Trail was placed over 10 years ago and It’s been a good run but with all the construction issues going on it’s time for these to go. Thanks to everyone who has contacted me and helped maintain these caches. For those of you who have previously signed the logs, be sure and still take the find when you qualify.

Geocache Description:

<<The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To find the true coordinates 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! 

As of 12-22-2022, at 12:22 pm all references to logging benchmarks have been removed from this challenge as requested by Geocaching HQ.

And now for the challenge:   Find 7 traditional caches and 7 non-traditional caches in 7 days while visiting 7 counties!

  1.  All of the following must be done within the same 7 day string.
  2. For 7 days in a row find and log at least one traditional cache.
  3. Within that same 7 day timeframe also log 7 non-traditional caches.  Any non-traditional cache types will work but they must be found sometime in the same 7 day period.
  4. Last, but not least, you must find the caches in 7 different counties. You can make a find in a different county each day or visit 7 in one day. See my example.

 Logging:  You can either create a shared and public bookmark list of your caches and include this cache in it for verification or you can provide the information via a list in your log or you can provided a screen shot of the caches in GSAK.  Please be sure and identify the 7 counties you visited by listing them with the caches or in your notes on your bookmark list.

Here is my example:
