Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Lake Reidsville Challenge Trail! Although the cache is at the posted coordinates, you must first complete the challenge before logging it as a find. You may find and sign the log at any time with a "Write Note." After qualifying, simply change your log to a "Find." Claiming a find without actually qualifying for the challenge WILL unfortunately result in your log being deleted. Once you find one container you'll know what they all are like!

When my mother and her sister and brother were born in 1940, they were, according to the Twin City Sentinel, the first recorded triplets in Forsyth County NC. My great-grandmother, not wanting to upset my grandmother, asked her, “Have you seen the baby?” My grandmother’s response was classic: “Oh Momma, there’s three of them!”

For our purposes, we're looking for "three of them." You can qualify for this challenge in one of two ways. Either,

1) Find a month’s worth of “triplets” (have at least 30 separate, not necessarily consecutive, days in which you find three or more caches),

OR

2) Find a “triplet” of 30 caches (have at least 3 separate days in which you find thirty caches or more).

There are multiple ways to create your list, but I used GSAK and the macro, 3CacheTypesChallenge.gsk to generate a list of days in which I found three or more caches. To present qualifications, simply list the dates and number of caches found (nothing more) in your log.
