Geocache Description:

Are you a MASTER CACHER??
All you have to do is complete all 4 of your Geocaching Grids - Finds Each Day of the Year Calendar Grid, Difficulty/Terrain Grid, Jasmer Grid and Finds by Placed Date Calendar Grid.

The cache is at the posted coordinates, but you must meet the requirements to claim a smiley for this cache. You are welcome to find the cache, sign the log and post a note but you may not log a “find” until you’ve completed the requirements!


About The Challenge:
Geocaching has 4 different "Grids" that cachers try to complete. First is Finds For Each Day Of The Year Calendar (also known as "Finds by Found Date"). Second is the Difficulty and Terrain grid (also known as the "Fizzy" grid) - this one requires finding and logging all 81 D/T combinations. Third is the Jasmer grid (also known as "Finds by Hidden Month") which requires finding and logging a cache placed in every month since Geocaching started (as of Dec 2014 there are 176 months to complete, starting in May of 2000). The fourth and final grid is the Finds by Placed Date Calendar (also known as "Finds by Hidden Date") which requires finding and logging a cache PLACED or hidden on each of the 366 days of the calendar.

Some cachers have a mission to complete one grid, maybe two. Some hard core cachers manage to complete 3 grids. Finally, there are the MASTER CACHERS who make is a goal and a mission to complete all four grids! Are you one of them??

About The Cache:
Cache is in a Forest Preserve. There is parking available and a nice walk along a trail to GZ. The POSTED difficulty/terrain of 5/5 reflects the amount of work necessary to complete this challenge. The actual D/T is a 2/2.
NOTE: The container is VERY HARD to open. Start with one corner and work your way around. BE CERTAIN it's also completely closed when you put it back. This will ensure that it remains waterproof and the contents stay nice and dry! Please return it as you found it. Thanks!

How to Show Your Qualifications:
You may demonstrate your success in filling all four of your grids in anyway you see fit. You may show the grids on your profile page, or by posting screenshots of each grid. Some folks use mygeocachingprofile.com and others like to use project-gc.com. As long as I can verify your grids are filled you may claim the smiley!

Do I Qualify for this Challenge?
Yes - you may verify that I have completed all four grids by clicking on my profile page. My Fizzy (D/T) grid and my Jasmer grids are both DOUBLED!!! I do love this game!
