Geocache Description:

Potpourri: A miscellaneous anthology or collection

"A Potpourri of cache containers"

When we first started caching we stuck to finding the nice easy Traditional caches... all of those blue question marks intimidated us. Eventually we started doing some easy Multi caches and cherry picking some of the easier Unknown caches.

Since our early days of caching we've grown to love challenge caches! Over the last year we've completed the "3 Mile Challenge", the "CRD Blackout Challenge", and the "Ten Tougher Treks Challenge" to name a few. Similar to puzzle type Unknown caches, the challenge type caches can be quite intimidating, even to experienced cachers.

We've decided to create an easy challenge cache as a good intro for new cachers. We've based the majority of the qualifying criteria on the information found on every cacher's Statistic tab of their Profile page - we've done this as a way for new cachers to learn more about their stats which will come into play in the future when they take on more complex challenges.

Now onto this challenge! The cache is located at the posted coordinates. You're welcome to find and sign the log at any time but before you can log a find online you must meet the following 11 criteria (be glad it's not HAG 27!):

1) Your caching calendar shows that you've found caches on at least 11 calendar days within a single month

2) You've completed a caching streak of at least 11 days or more

3) You've moved or discovered at least 11 Trackables

4) You've filled at least 11 unique squares of your "Fizzy Grid" (Fizzy Grid is another name for the 81 squares that comprise your Difficulty/Terrain chart)

5) You've found at least 11 Unknown cache type

6) You've found at least 11 caches that are Regular size

7) You've found at least 11 caches that are more than 10km from your home

8) You've found at least 11 caches in one day

9) You've found at least 11 caches with 11 or more Favorite points

10) You've logged at least 11 DNFs

11) And finally, you've found and logged this cache GC1BE91. Alternately, you've found at least 11 caches from a single cache owner

All caches you've found previous to this challenge count of course! To prove that you meet the 11 criteria... all you need to do is sign the cache logbook and then log this cache online as found! That's it! No getting carpal tunnel typing long boring lists, no creating bookmarks that take hours to create! We trust you! Having said that, if we find that you don't meet the requirements we'll delete your log even faster than we race out the door to get the FTF of a new cache!
