The first Delaware favorites Challenge (GC3CMWR) had to be archived when the hide location on state property became "No tresspassing" Rather than move the cache, I decided a new cache in a new location would be better. That cache published 2 years ago, and quite a few changes have occured in the favorites list.
How to find the top Delaware favorite caches: (Only works if you are premium member)
1. Go to Hide and seek a cache page on GC.com. Type in" Delaware" From drop down menu select "Delaware United states regional search"
2. You now have listing of all the Delaware caches that are sorted from closest to farthest.
3. Click on the top of favorites column (3rd from the left).
4. You now have the Delaware caches listed by favorite points from most to least.
The list will be somewhat dynamic. Since 2017, Four top fav caches (including #1) were archived and a cache created in 2018 has climbed to #4 spot. As of 10-22-2921 the top Delaware favorites caches were:
Additional Rules.
1. Your log MUST list the caches you are using AND the date you found them.
2. Only direct findable/loggable caches are required. Any Challange cache requiring you to find specific caches to qualify to log that cache would be optional, If you chose not to find that cache, you must substitute the next available cache (#16 on favorite points). This rule currently applies for both Delaware Delorme Challenge (currently #10) and Delaware All County Challenge (currently #14).
3. If you are the owner of one of the top favorites caches it would also count as a find, PLUS as thanks for having such a good cache you get the extra bonus of a pass on another of the top caches. (or a pass of two caches if you own two to the top favorites.)
4. If there are multiple caches tied for the #15 spot, you only need to find one of them for 13 caches total
5. If you are not a premium member, use the current favorites list shown on this page.
6. If one of the top 15 caches is disabled, you can substitute the #16 caches if you want.
Feel free to list any comments on any of the caches, or even tell about a cache you feel should have made the list.
What makes a top ten favorite cache? It could be many things based on checking favorites in many states
1. The oldest cache in a state
2. A great old vitual cache--check out the favorites of Nevada or District of Columbia (DC)
3. A cache that is representative of a well liked cache series, Nevada's 0001-E.T. has 225 votes and California's 001-Route 66 has 244 favorites. This seems to also be happening in Delaware
3. A especially beautiful and scenic area or great place to visit, many times presented as an EarthCache or virtual
4. An extremely clever crafty cache container or hide or very challenging cache hide
