Geocache Description:


This is a challenge cache in Greene County, Ohio. The cache is located at the posted coordinates. Read below to learn how to qualify for this challenge & claim the find. Please do not attempt to access this cache from US 35.

Many are familiar with challenges that require cachers to find caches on every day of the year. Inspired by a challenge series encountered in faraway lands & the 12 birthstones of the year, we decided to create a challenge series a little less ambitious. Hence...

The Birthstone Challenges

November: Topaz

topaz

To claim this gem, you must find at least 1 geocache of any type every day for the entire month of November. Finds do not have to all be in the same year. In other words, if your November stats are all green like this:

Nov Stat Checker

Then you've earned yourself a shiny topaz!* You can check if you qualify for this challenge here:

PGC Checker

The cache itself is around a 2 difficulty rating. The posted difficulty is for the challenge. You will not have to cross any barriers or go onto private property to find this cache.

As the boxen-hunters qualify to claim more gemstones, more gemstone challenges will appear. (The current goal is to have the series finished by mid-2020.) Will you claim all 12 birthstones?

Congratulations to boydfamily for FTF!

*Actual topazes sold separately.
