Too many teardrops. For one heart to be crying. Too many teardrops. For one heart to carry on. You're gonna cry ninety-six tears. You're gonna cry ninety-six tears. You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now. You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry. Ninety-six tears. Come on and lemme hear you cry, now!
Some of the better known Challenge Caches require a significant amount of travel as well as planning in order to qualify. The "Fizzy Challenge" requires you to have a full difficulty and terrain grid. The "Jasmer Challenge" requires you find a cache hidden in every month since May 2000. There are even "Date Found Challenges" and "Date Placed Challenges". All of these require a lot of commitment over a period of time. With that in mind, I wanted to introduce a new grid-based Challenge Cache.
Your task is to find each of the eight main cache types (Traditional, Multi, Puzzle/Mystery, WhereIGo, Earthcache, Event, Virtual, and Letterbox) in every month of the year. There is no need to be consecutive months or get all of them in the same year, multiple years is totally fine. As always, past finds count.
For example, you have to find a virtual in all twelve months. This can be done across all years. If you find a virtual in April 2003 and one in June 2017, you have completed two of the 96 teardrops. Also, you must find a multi in all twelve months. But, they do not have to be the same months as the virtuals.
A checker is provided to help you determine if you qualify. Webcams do count as Virtuals. Also CITOs, Megas and Gigas do count as Events.
This is intended to be a very tourist friendly cache, so even if you don't qualify when you find it please feel free to sign the logbook and post a note on the cache page saying that you've found it. Once you get back home hopefully you can continue working on it until you qualify. At that time simply edit your log to be a "Found It" and add any extra info you feel is needed, and update the date. The "Found It" date should be when you have qualified AND signed the book, whichever is the latter.
But to be transparent I will delete any "Found It" logs that do not qualify. I will try to also email you if you are only missing a few, but those that are clearly far from it might only be told to check the requirements. And since people will be updating past logs I will check those too.
