If you placed or cared for one of these caches, you don’t have to find it! 3jaze placed 13 of these original caches and met the requirements for this challenge cache in 2004! We’re granting him an honourary FTF on this challenge cache for that feat, to be shared with the first actual finder of the cache.
If some of these oldies are archived, the dates will be revised to keep the number of available caches for this challenge to be similar.
Like most challenge caches, you can find the cache and sign the log, and then post a note on the cache page. Only once you’ve completed the requirements can you log this as “found”.
In your found log, please include a summary of your found dates, or similar information to show you’ve met the requirements. For example, our summary looks like this:
The cache itself would be rated at 2/2 for D/T without the challenge aspect, and it is hidden in the location where we found our first cache, GCH2J7, “Scooter & Smiley's Engagement Cache”.
