Geocache Description:

It's back!  A challenge cache that will require you to find 171 caches, 15 waymarks, 15 benchmarks and move 15 trackables!


One of my favorite caches of all times was Zeppo's 2013 To Do List Challenge.  After a brief period of retirement - I have received permission from the CO to bring this one back!  Since this is 2015 you will need to complete 15 different tasks resulting in a total of 171 unique caches.  My hope is that you qualify for this Challenge using caches that you find in 2015 ONLY.

I will provide a path tag to anyone that completes the Challenge! Big shout out to Corey of TheCaching Dead for the design help. An image of the tag is attached.

Once you have completed the Challenge post your log with the qualifying caches. Do not sign the log until you have completed all 15 tasks!

Here is the Challenge:

1) Find 15 caches that have more than 15 Favorite Points

2) Find 15 caches placed by 15 different Cache Owners

3) Find 15 caches that have 15 or more attribtues

4) Attend or host a total of 15 events (I will count any event held on 12/31/14 as one of the events)

5) Find a cache on 15 consecutive days

6) Find 15 different caches with unique D/T ratings

7) Find 15 non-traditional caches

8) Find 15 caches more than 15 miles from your home

9) Complete a busy day challenge (6 different cache types) on the 15th or 30th of any month  (From these types - Traditional, Multi, Mystery, Letterbox, Earthcache, Wherigo, Virtual, Event, CITO, Benchmark, Waymark, Webcam, Mega, HQ,

10) Find 15 caches in 15 different counties

11) Find 15 caches with 15 different colors in the cache name (The more creative the better - if you can find a paint chip or crayon with that name it it is a color in my coloring book! - e.g., Salmon, Thistle, etc.)

12) Find 15 different benchmarks

13) Find 15 different waymarks

14) Find and MOVE 15 trackables

15) Find 15 different caches in 15 different cities (In honor of RoamingItinerant/Zeppo!).

 

To complete this challenge you must find

- 171 DIFFERENT caches

- 15 Benchmarks

- 15 Waymarks

- 15 Trackables (MOVED - not Discovered!)

I would also like to have at least one picture of you executing these tasks!

The Fine Print:

1) Please do not attempt to sign the log until you have completed the requirements,!

2) I have placed the Path Tags in the cache!p>

3) Caches/Waymarks/Benchmarks/Trackables do not have to be found in the Great State of Texas.

4) Some items have multiple waymarks for the same place - you can only use these once. As an example, if a cemetery has three different Waymarks you only get to use that one once - not three times.

5) Some Waymarks are Benchmarks or vice versa - you can use this once - not as a requirement for both 12 and 13

6) Have FUN!
