Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Lake Reidsville Challenge Trail! Although the cache is at the posted coordinates, you must first complete the challenge before logging it as a find. You may find and sign the log at any time with a "Write Note." After qualifying, simply change your log to a "Find." Claiming a find without actually qualifying for the challenge WILL unfortunately result in your log being deleted.

Geocaching is so much more than LPC's and micro's on stop signs. To meet this challenge you must have expanded your caching horizons. You will need numerous finds of at least five types of geocaches to qualify. What types count for this cache? There are Mystery Caches, Earth Caches, Virtual Caches, Multi-Caches, Events, Letterboxes, Web-Cams, CITO's, Wherigo's and a few others!  We will take anything that has its own icon, with the exception of benchmarks.

Specifics:

You will need to have located at least 5 types of geocaches to qualify for this cache. For each of the five, you will need 5 more finds than the previous multiple of 5. (Thus the Five by Five Challenge).

That is, you will need to find at least 5 of your first type of geocache, 10 of the next, then 15 for the third type, 20 of type four and 25 caches of type 5. You choose what type goes with each number. You can only use regulars if you have less than 750 total finds.

Examples:

5+   Multi
10+ Events
15+ Virtual
20+ Earth
25+ Mystery

or 

5+   Events
10+ Virtuals
15+ Wherigos
20+ Mystery
25+ Regular (only those with less than 750 finds can use regulars for this challenge).

Rules:

  • If you have over 750 Caches, you can't count regular caches in your list. 
  • Post your list similar to the example above.  Or post a screenshot showing the relevant stats.  
  • Just to be extra clear, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 are the minimum requirements. More is always okay!
  • Benchmarks don't count for your list.
  • Past caches count. As long as you found it, you can count it towards this challenge.
