Geocache Description:

The cache is at the given coordinates, this is a Challenge Cache.


I am a big fan of Challenge caches, and also set myself my own Challenges to complete. When GS Grounspeak re introduced the concept of Challenge Caches earlier on this year (2016), I already had a huge Challenge set for myself, now that I have completed the Challenge set, I can now place this Cache for others who are willing to try as it is very possible to complete (it may take a while, or you may already qualify).

To the Challenge itself - everyone is familiar with filling in the calendar with finds on each day, this is along the same lines as that, EXCEPT you have to fill in the calender with just  Traditional Caches.

Just to be clear this is 365 days.

The 29th of Feb is the only date you don’t need to grab.

There is several ways for you to see if you qualify for this Challenge, 1st way is to troll through your  Traditional Cache finds and score them off on a calender. 2nd way is to use a nice little program called GSAK and create a database of just the Traditional Caches then run the findstatgen macro.
