To claim this challenge, you must have found a 20 caches that were published in the year 2000. This cache is not at the posted coordinates but can be found in the additional waypoints. In order to log a find, you must have completed this challenge.
Mocrin and Aix sponsa have combined to put out this Challenge Trail. In the tradition of challenge caches, at least one of the two of us has qualified for each challenge. Because we have different caching styles, the challenges will be very tough for one person to complete all of them. As with many good caches, our inspiration for many of these caches came from others, so thank you all!
The hides are all along the Mesabi Trail near Giant's Ridge, but you may want more than just a bicycle along to grab some of these hides. The difficulty is relative to the challenge portion of the cache, but the terrain was rated using the following scale:
1 Wheelchair accessible
1.5 Granny with her cane can get to it easily.
2 Granny with her cane can still get to it, but it won't be easy.
2.5 Off the paved trail a bit, up or downhill likely.
3 Probably should watch your footing, bit of a challenge!
3.5 A short TOTT was used to place the cache.
4 A 10 foot TOTT was used to place the cache. Look UP!
4.5 Somewhere between 4 and 5. :)
5 A 15 foot TOTT was used to place the cache. Look way UP!
For all of the caches in this series, we will provide a checker through Project GC to verify whether you have met the challenge.
