Geocache Description:

***Updated logging requirements*** ***See below*** This is our first ever mystery hide. We wanted to do our part for the CARW2015 event.

PLEASE READ FIRST: 1.  This CARW2015 cache will be published about 6pm on Thurs, March 5. 2.  Please remember that caches CANNOT be hunted until 9AM SATURDAY March 7. 3.  Should you hunt and find this cache prior, it will not count for the event, and FTF points are only valid as of 9AM March 7. 4.  Please consider this cache as nominated for any prize category you feel it may be deserving of. ***In the spirit of CARW2015 there will be these two exceptions***: 1) You may log this as a find if you find this cache on either March 7 or 8, 2015 if you do not qualify for this challenge, though it would be great if you do. The true FTF can only be by someone who has met the requirements of the challenge. I'd encourage you to complete the challenge but that will be up to you. 2) Please note in your log if this is the case. After this weekend all future finders will need to meet 7 of 10 requirements of the challenge to qualify for the smiley. ***Please note the slight change in this challenge. We believe this will still be a 5 star difficulty challenge, but this slight change will hopefully increase the traffic to this cache*** So this is our first attempt at a challenge/mystery cache. This one is hidden right in front of our house so if you see us in the window wave (or during the summer feel free to say hi). We wanted to do our part in adding to this event that we enjoyed for the first time last year. The cache is at the posted coordinates. A difficulty 5 you say? Well let us explain. In order to qualify for this challenge you will need to complete a minimum of 7 of the 10 of the following: 100 mystery caches found total (puzzles, challenges, etc.). 200 day continuous find streak. 300 days of the "Finds for Each Day of the Year" grid. 400 non-traditional finds total (may be any combination of unknowns, multis, virtuals, events, letterbox hybrids, etc.). 500 finds in total for any single month of the year (cumulative from year to year) on the "Finds for Each Day of the Year" grid. 600 finds in total that have a terrain of 2.5 stars or higher from the "Difficulty and Terrain of Caches I've Found" grid. 700 kilometers between finds on one day (not a requirement, but if you would indicate which day this was in your log that would prevent any false negatives when verifying this requirement has been met). 800 finds of any one size of container from the "Container Types I've Found" graphs. 900 finds in any one square of the "Difficulty and Terrain of Caches I've Found" grid. 1000 total caches found in one year. All of these are minimum numbers (if you exceed any of these numbers then awesome) but a a minimum of 7 out of 10 of these parts of the challenge must be completed in order to log this as a find. You are welcome to sign the log book prior to completing this challenge. We will verify each find independently by viewing your public profile. If your profile settings are restricted please contact us and/or post verifying pictures. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Happy hunting from all us Bears. ***Please note the slight change in this challenge. We believe this will still be a 5 star difficulty challenge, but this slight change will hopefully increase the traffic to this cache***
