This is a Challenge Cache, you must complete the elements of the challenge, and sign the cache log before logging a find on this cache.
We came across a Challenge Cache listing we thought was very intriguing (GC6MC93 by schmittfamily in MN). The concept is to find pairs of the same type caches which are great distances apart. We found we easily qualified for their challenge, and thought a similar version in Michigan could be appropriate. We have modified the criteria a bit to better fit the achievements of our area cachers.
The challenge is to find two caches of the same type that are at least 4500 miles apart. Then do that for 5 different cache types. You may use any current cache type (Traditional, Multi, Virtual, Mystery, Earth, Event, Whereigo, Webcam, even APE if you have 2 that qualify!) but not locationless, and you must have actually travelled to the cache location. (i.e. no armchair Virtuals, or Skype attendance on Events)
Documentation can be in several fashions (output from posted Challenge Checker, listed in log, bookmark, excel file, GPX file, etc) but please provide in a manner that allows us to verify your completion.
For those who are interested we have achieved the requirements of this challenge with 9 types.
