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!

Geocaching celebrates it’s 15th birthday in 2015 – Happy Birthday!

Through the years there have been some epic geocaching challenges, including the Jasmer Challenge, which requires you to find a cache placed in every month since geocaching began, back to May 2000. With very few caches dating back to the years 2000-2001, this has become a very tough challenge to complete.

This challenge is much simpler. To qualify, simply find a geocache placed in fifteen different years, and a geocache placed in every month of any single year. That’s a total of twenty-six caches (one for each year, fifteen years, and twelve within a single year).

Example: You have never found a geocache placed in the year 2000. That's not good for the Jasmer, but no worries for this challenge. Find a cache placed in each of the other fifteen years (2001-2015). Now, find a cache placed in twelve consecutive months (Jan-Dec). This string of months must all be in a single year (i.e. Jan-Dec 2007, Jan-Dec 2103, etc.).

To present qualifications, attach a screenshot similar to below or make a bookmark list including GC code, cache name, and month and year placed.
