Geocache Description:

This cache IS at the posted coordinates. However, to qualify for a "Found It" you will need to find (or have found or own) 20 out of the 30 caches with the most favorite points within the province of Alberta.

The D/T rating reflects what is necessary to complete the challenge. The actual hide is 2.5/2.


Background

As I geocache in a new area and have limited time, I like to find the most favorited caches nearby. This challenge is designed to encourage you to experience (or create) some of the best caches that Alberta has to offer.

The Details

Please use the Project-GC challenge checker below to display your progress towards this challenge. The list will be individually generated by the checker to include the following:

  • The top 30 active caches within Alberta with the most favorite points at the time the checker is run.
  • Any caches that you own (or have owned and are no longer active) if they meet the criteria.
  • Any caches that you have found and have been archived or disabled after you have found them, if they meet the criteria.

Since the challenge checker results are dynamic, you might find that you now qualify, when you didn't previously. Please see the images below of checker outputs.

My completed list, including the archived and disabled caches I have found (in blue and green).

Logging this Cache

You can sign this cache's physical log sheet before you complete its requirements. You can then log an online "Write Note" to help you remember this fact.

Please do not log an online "Found It" until you've signed this cache's physical log sheet and shown that you've met the challenge requirements. All non-qualifying "Found It" logs will be deleted without notice.

Providing Proof

Before claiming an online "Found It" you need to show that you've met this challenge's requirements. To prove that you qualify (or find which caches you are missing), you can use the following checker from Project-GC. Also, please copy and paste the output cache listing into your log to prove that you qualified.
